Good thing Cally wasn’t affected and therefore able to treat Villa.

Hardly. Nothing to get excited about there. I do like the dark red uniforms, though. I think they must have been specially designed by/for the Commissar since we never see them on any other Feds.


Yes, I agree, and the "natives" are beautifully dressed.

Hello everyone. Sorry that I'm late - I thought I was in good time, but wasn't, and put the wrong DVD in by mistake. It's still horribly cold here - and intermittently rainy.

I've seen some of Farscape, Pilot - I think it is acknowledged that Blake's 7 was a big influence.

Hi AA

HI, Anne. Yes - COLD! We've had a touch of frost yesterday and today. Not good!

Yeah sure, that’s what they all say. LOL

Hi Tyce. About your earlier question, sorry, I don't know anywhere in London off the top of my head. I stay in a hotel I stayed in years ago for a conference. It's central and reasonable value. Any Airbnbs? Where are you staying in Steventon?

The roofs of the houses opposite were quite white with frost yesterday morning, and there was hail just outside York yesterday afternoon. The plants in my garden have slowed their growth. I wish that spring would hurry up and arrive!

Hi AA. If it's warm here it's got to be horrid over there.We're beyond ANZAC Day and that's usually our date for the weather to change.

I’ve booked Premier Inn for 2 nights in Steventon. The 8th and 9th June.

We never see any other Commissars - I think they are civilian, rather than military?

I wonder how the Commissar came to be posted so far out. Did he offend his superiors, perhaps?

Get him lean slightly forward & pinch the top part of his nostrils for 10mins
That should stop the bleeding.


He's been known to go on for half an hour, easy. We're used to it. Been packed, cauterised etc etc. He just has a duff nose. I DID NOT HIT HIM. He made the apparently terminal mistake of blowing his nose, that's all.

Is he on any medication? I had big problems with nose bleeds for a couple of years - then I worked out it was one of my meds.

I have been told that climate change means milder winters and very unreliable weather in spring and autumn.

I think we're too used to the concept of centralised government. The Commissar doesn't have to be more than a regional functionary. Perhaps a reward for his academic work. The only way the Federation can really operate is with various levels of government.

Ha! At one point she left us (I was with Stormy Petrel) minding her stall saying she needed the loo. Half an hour later she came back saying she still hadn't got there...

You'd have to beg or steal a ticket. See if anyone has to surrender theirs at the last minute.

I'll be heading up to Bamburgh at one point. That does bring me a bit closer to you.

That's another reason I quite like this episode, despite the lack of Servalan. They tried really hard this time.

Agreed. The actors are well chosen, the set effects are excellent, so are the costumes. Plot thoughtful and endlessly topical.

That would be possible. Bamburgh is a possible day's journey for me.

Cally's telepathic powers are far more extensive in this episode. Do we think that they increase under stress, or is she hiding the extent of her gifts in other episodes?
