Meant to say, bat-wing sleeves were highly fashionable at the time.

I love this show, but I'll say it again: why isn't the force wall accessible from more than one panel? It's cool to watch Avon do that little running leap but this is a design flaw. Also, there are two teleports and everyone forgets about the second one after they left Cygnus Alpha.

How anyone could thinks Avon's costume is black, not blue, I don't know. Seen against the black of the seats it is quite definitely blue.


I always thought it was black! Blue leather is so weird.

Have me these to make some "Redemption" earrings in my 'Forever Avon range. Got to do some work on them to make them nice.


WOW!!!

It doesn't make sense, does it?

Hi Anne. How are things there?

I love the OTT costumes. Avon's are fab, so are Jenna's and Cally's.

How does orbiting a planet work for evasion? I would have thought that it would have made them an easier target.

I like these mini-Liberator pursuit ships.

Seen on eBay some models of the Liberator all of which are in the U.K.
Ones seen are pricy & by the time u convert the price exchange rate plus add the postage it costly. But I'm determined to get one.
Australia
The Penal Colony
Where Servalan is supreme commander.

It does seem odd that it's not included with the other controls. Complain to these babes.

They're exploring shades of grey again. Avon's is a sort of blueish slate, not unlikke the Brathay slate quarried just up the road from where I am.

I have bought things on ebay from Australia before now. As you say, it's pricy, but it is fairly easy to do.

I gather they were handy for Gareth's pipe and the odd bottle of Scotch.

Yes, it's that deep blue seen also in the basalt referred to as 'Bluestone'. Later, when Avon is with Jenna, who is wearing black, it's blindingly obvious that it's blue.

Thanks. I hope to do them soon, but there's some careful drilling to do. Often the original drilling is bad and has to be fiddled with.

The women on the space station remind me of that weird photo of Donald Trump and, I think, some Saudi dignitaries, with their hands on a glowing dome like that.

Yep, it's the colour of Brathay slate

How come they don't have visual surveillance of other parts of the ship?

Google Donald Trump glowing orb, and you'll get lots of pictures.

Yes, Alta-Trumps would be a real nightmare!

Because nobody except MI5 and other spooks had thought of multi-screen CCTV by then.

There ought to be a rule that in all TV drama, someone, somewhere MUST use the episode title in something they say.
Blake muttering 'redemption' would just about count. Better if someone else had picked up on it.

And Sayid el-Sissi from Egypt would look pretty bad even in a black bodysuit.

I find it interesting because, while it means exactly what's happening, "redemption" doesn't seem the obvious word: "reclamation" maybe, but "redemption" carries other connotations that I think led to its use in this context.
