Abbey House, Abingdon.


Oh, right. I used to live quite near there. So it would have been the old abbey church? I thought that it didn't look like a parish church.

It's very cool and not what you'd expect at all. Had a lovely visit there last year.

The Bloke's cousin lives nearby and they had no idea that there was a filming location so close to them. Cousin said he went into computers because of ORAC.

Good old Veron. If only she'd been a younger actress I might have believed them calling her a 'child'.

It's been good to have you here Pilot. You have a good – and warm – week too. See you next time.

Servalan's lipstick is very pink and shiny today.

It's lovely '70s' frosted pink. Thankfully post-frosted pale blue eyeshadow.

Hmm. Time to add a new Zoom backdrop. Got the inside of the empty room, but a shot of that door with the Fed logo would be good.

Servalan's already lining up Travis's trial, isn't she. Almost as if she knows this isn't likely to work.

Indeed. When Travis says he won't fail, she's already thinking way ahead.

That's a huge studio set. Is it the one they used in Weapon (with the clonemasters)?

Travis said 'No!" to the Supreme Commander? Court-martial here we come.

Yes, Travis, you're absolutely right.
You publish a load of baloney about something, even though there is no evidence for such, and away you go: the peasants will believe it every time. Why we politically astute students loved this show: it told it as it is.

He can't say she didn't warn him. Incidentally, why did she change into that...thing with the lizard up the front?

Unfortunately, photos of the sets don't give away anything like Studio numbers. Some were very large it seems.

Jenna's instructions? Humiliate her by putting her in her least fetching outfit?

It's an insect. The wings are down the skirt. I think it's brilliant. Bizarre but utterly brilliant. It so suits her figure (she had one. I, alas, do not and can only admire).

Definitely suits her. I just wondered where she might be going next, wearing it. Or maybe it's the sort of thing she wears when she's 'relaxing'. Except I don't think she ever does. Not really.

Don't know what it's like over there, but some of the given names here are shocking (and shockingly misspelt) and people have no idea what a diminutive is.

No, I don't think she relaxes either. Forever on the front foot. Reclining, I think. Cleopatra style.

Bother. It's over. Back to RL and housework.
OK, Anne, don't try to do too much: Covid has a nasty habit of draining energy even when you're 'better'.
Have a great week, both of you. Looking forward to Trial next time.

Well, I guess that's torn it. What will Blake do about that monumental attack on his monumental hubris? Hmm?

They probably just call 'em 'Titch', then.
Except there's a fashion in nicknames, too.
Don't get many girls called Vera or Agnes or Mavis these days.

See you both next time. Enjoy your weekend.

Yes, Anne, take care of yourself. I caught a virus several years ago and still experience long periods of fatigue. How it is after Covid...

Write it off (with all the others) as 'Well, I tried' and move on to the next hairbrained scheme.

I'm not sure they ever did. I was quite surprised, sorting through the family cutlery collection, to find my great-grandmother's cutlery with the initials LP - for Lizzie Page - engraved on it.

There are a few Violets, Irises, Rowans, etc., but only amongst more thoughtful folk. Agnes and Mavis were not the most attractive of names. Both my grandmother and aunt were Phyllis. Could do without that too.
