The Burkiss Way paraody of Blake's 7 had them going to the planet of, er, foundation-less women...


There is now a whole generation of women who are going to find, by the time they're 50 or so, that they'll need serious foundations to hold up all the silicone they've had injected. Gravity never fails – unless you're in SPACE, I suppose.
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

There is narry a n***le to be seen here.


For those playing THE WORD at home, the answer to the above is (of course) 'needle', in reference to earlier comments about poorly-sewn zips, Gunn-sarr, and Cally and Jenna cutting out patterns for the crew parkas.


So lovely to see you here Joe. Injecting a cultured tone, ahem.

Well, even that ties back to B7... I can't say I've listened to it more than once, but I'm sure 'Jenna' says something about the effects of zero gravity to Benedict Cumberbatch's character, in one of the B7E audios, to try and distract him.

I'd love to know what foundation garments the Soopreeme Commander is wearing. They are very shapely.

I think her foundation garments are called ‘skin’.


No, that is obvious with other garments she wears. There is narry a n***le to be seen here.


Then you aren't looking closely enough.

That feels like a 'proper' Blakes 7 episode - one of my favourites in season 1, I think.


Absolutely agree with you. It's less reliant on fantasy and dress-ups and more on the straightforward fight. It's also very textured and detailed, with lots of believable props.


I had forgotten how few of these there are in season 1.

Yes, She's only in four of them.

Well, I'd better go... and wash these socks...

Take care everyone. Good night Obsidian, Louella, Tyce. Good day, AnneArthur, Ev.

Rats. Two weeks until we see Servalan again. Oh well, I can always go back and watch this one again. But it won't be the same without you lot. Thanks for lifting my Saturdays to a higher level.
Take care out there in Downunderland. Crocs, spiders, snakes, cassowary... it's a wonder anyone survives. (Maybe not a problem for you, Anne, but who knows. Escapees from Flamingo Park?) Until next time, rebels!


I still remember the MIssissippi alligator in Edinburgh zoo as a child - not in its cage, but lying very smugly in the walkway between the cages and the visitors . . . I have no idea whether it was meant to be there or not, but boy did it look pleased with itself!

Anyway, see you all next time!

Just a quick hello from me, and apols for my continuing absences!

Hope everybody's well. Will catch up again soon.
