45th Anniversary rewatch - C9 Sarcophagus

Also, Vila does a few magical tricks and Dayna starts singing. All together now: “I left my world to wander in this endless midnight sky, for space is just a starry night where no suns ever rise." And Jan Chappell looks absolutely stunning as the undead alien and puts in a fabulous performance. Episode in a word: Necrophilia. Character to cheer: Avon saves the day in this one, so it’s him. Considering his metaphorical death at the end of the previous episode, he’s actually in pretty fine form. Character to boo: I appreciate the Alien was manipulating events due to extent during the argument between Tarrant and Avon, but Tarrant was still being a right git. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. Recognisable Face: Given the only extras in this episode are in the opening scene and in heavy make-up, it has to be one of the main cast. Let’s go for: Steven Pacey (Tarrant) who played the vicar in Troubles and Strife, a sitcom from the 1980s. Not a particularly great sitcom from what I recall, but it was on prime-time television. Best exchange: AVON: “Regret is part of being alive. But keep it a small part.” CALLY: “As you do?” AVON: “Demonstrably.” Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Being Blue Vote Og.

I haven't watched it for years, but I thought I would give it a go this time. However, I probably won't post at the risk of offending those who love it!! I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Well, we still have the Moody Blues and gardening to talk about! Actually, it's refreshing to have access to differing views about the series episodes. No one seems to have one way to think about it. There are plenty of episodes to love and a few to loathe, so the more the merrier I say. Resist the Host

A good week to use the excuse 'I'm washing my hair'. Or someone else's, if necessary.

I don't hate it,just not my favourite, actually one of my least favourite episodes. Edited by OracVZen on 29-08-2023 17:59 I plan to live forever,or die trying. Maximum Power Seek-locate-destroy.
