The first, but not the last, time in Blakes 7 when an apparently hysterical woman turns out to be a killer. |

I know some people like this episode, but it's not great for me. No Servalan, and I've always disliked 'whodunits'. Think I overdid the whole genre by reading all of Sherlock Holmes at an early age. Plus Blake is as useless as always, everyone forgets poor Cally, and the directing makes sure everyone stays within their stereotype, especially Gan. . I like it because, like Vila, it's 'armless. And quite well done. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Will you get the cat after she has recovered from her operation, Obsidian, or has it completely fallen through? Not sure Anne. I think the breeder is concerned about selling an 'imperfect' cat, but we took one from her before and he's just fine. I get all mushy and want to say we'll take both. David will say otherwise. Cats need other cats. I'm on your side. Agreed. I think if the two cats get on, do it. |

Of course, 'Sara' is now Bill Nighy's main squeeze. Is she now. |

It's surprising how little Servalan there is in the first series. A tribute to her towering personality that you think that she's everywhere. |

'Mandrian' was the first Judas in JC Superstar on stage in London along with Paul Nicholas as Jesus. Total blast from the past when I discovered this bit of info that I probably knew back in 1972 but had since forgotten.

If it would take the Ortega five months at sub-light speed they must be very close to home, so why would it take Liberator four days? |

Would it not be more sensible for someone who knows where the storage hold is to go there? |

Brown glasses, so groovy back in 1977-78.

'Sonheim' was in an episode of The Professionals. He played a similarly aggro character.

Again with the crying 'little woman' who is going to turn out to be the cause of all the carnage. |

The thing I really hated was urine-coloured glass panels next to front doors. Went with the whole Mission Brown thing. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

You know one assumes Sarah was pretty ordinary before she got involved with all of this, therefore, while she might go ahead with this plan to become rich, I’m not sure the smiling when she hears people being murdered quiet would fit the character she would be. |

Think you'd have to be fairly devious to think of it and expect to carry it out. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
