UK Rewatch - D3 Traitor
trevor travis
The episode: Derek Three – Traitor (Carry On Trooper Orac)
The date: Tuesday, October 15th, 2024
The time: 7.45pm UK time

A reminder of Season Derek drinking game:

Here’s the number of sips/swigs per each of these:
Avon is knocked unconscious 1
A scientist dies (per scientist) 5
A member of the main cast wears the same costume as last week (per costume) 2
There’s the sequence (or part of the sequence) of Scorpio landing / taking off at Xenon Base 3
Vila drinks something red (per scene) 10
Tarrant falls in love 5
Soolin shoots someone (per person) 5
Slave says “sorry” (each mention) 1
Each mention of “Sleer” 2
Avon laughs manically and/or smiles inappropriately 5
There’s a downbeat ending in sharp contrast to the jangly end theme 10
The final shot of the episode includes Paul Darrow 3
A member of the main cast is killed or stunned (per cast member) 1 bottle of wine / 1 can of beer

Back to Traitor, and we have a big mystery folks. Someone is going around in outrageous clothing like Servie used to wear, destroying portraits of Servie, and speaking in a deep, husky version of Servie’s voice. Just who could it be?

Also, the Liberator wardrobe was clearly made of herculanium, survived in one piece, and landed on Helotrix. Oh, and we have a rebellion going on in the episode – although it’s not Avon’s lot, of course. After all, he’s already saved Teal and Vandor in “Death-Watch”, placing him ahead of Blake in number of planets saved. Talking of keeping score, anyone notice that Gunn Sar (in the last episode) and Servie (in this episode - whoops, apologies for that spoiler!!) both claim 26 kills – proof that he would have been her perfect man. He could have even done the embroidery on her dresses.

Episode in a word: Suppressants.
Characters to cheer: Pretty much any of the supporting characters, especially the Federation officers. A combination of the superb writing of Robert Holmes and some top-notch acting from the guest cast.
Character to boo: Trooper Orac shows once again, while he might be able to take over other computers, he’s also a bit thick.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Oui.
Recognisable Face: Christopher Neame (Colonel Quute) was Skagra, the lead baddie in the 1979 Doctor Who serial “Shada”. Sadly, for Neame and the rest of the cast, a strike might the serial was never completed. But it’s seen plenty the light of day in many forms over the years.
Best exchange: VILA: “Blake would have been proud of you, you know.” AVON: “I know, but then he never was very bright.”

Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Space Petrol Heads.”

That woman in the feathers looks a lot like Servie. I wonder who it could be? Don't miss the re-watch on Tuesday so that you can catch up with the resolution of this deep mystery!

I will be missing another Rewatch. This time it is a committee meeting for the Friends of a local wood. So I will check in afterwards! Is it Servalan???
I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

After my lack of gardening experience was exposed during the Rescue rewatch, I will make no comment. Shock

As for whether it's Servie, it's a huge mystery. We'll get back to you. For once, I will explain later at a specified time Wink

Hi everyone, nearly time to unravel tonight's big mystery. Who is the feathered woman who looks like Servie, dresses like Servie, sounds like Servie and leaves a trail of dead bodies behind like Servie? I'm stumped...

Hi, anyone who's still around.
The rebels seem to be dropping like flies...sorry you're poorly again OVZ. Hope they take care of you in there!
If Lorna (and friends) befriend trees, what are the criteria they use to choose which trees, or is it all trees? Do bushes count? Where would they stand on whether buddleia is a tree or a bush?
OSP - going offline eh? I've put Security on alert.

Traitor - and She's back! Now we find out what Servalan's been up to while we were distracted into watching Links and Hommicks. Her Big Purge continues! I never liked that painting anyway.

Well my Buddleia is taller than me at the mo. So I reckon it's a tree. Should I hug that?

Hmmm. Interesting theory. Does Big Bird leave a trail of corpses? Don't tell me you've been taken in by a pretty face?

I always wondered if the similarity to a vulture was intentional, representing Servie's fall from presidential apex predator to central security scavenger.
