The song is surely exactly the kind of thing a group of ex-cons would write.

I do enjoy Avon realising that Tarrant is saved on the card.

Brilliant.
That frock's good on her. A bit draughty in places, perhaps, but it works for the Fight in the Buddleia Forest.

It's not crude enough.

By all accounts he was a very nice man. I love all the behind-the-scenes stories though (Cally/Sally etc) - it adds another layer of enjoyment to the B7 'cake'.

(I should say hello...!)

Hello, Obsidian!
Hello, Anne!
Hello, Poola!

How on earth did Servalan get a white skin to lie on?

Ooh, there's a fanfic in that.

Sorry, hello MC Virn! (Couldn't resist!)

It's Calcos. But that's a good question. Because she looked as if she should have one?

BTW, hello Joe.

the Fight in the Buddleia Forest.

Sounds like a Horst Jankowski number.

I'm not convinced Doran is a mysogynist. He just doesn't like women. Maybe he was abused by his five older sisters. And double-crossed by his mum. And dumped by the girl he fell in love with at the academy. And beaten up by his ex-mother-in-law...

Not A Walk in the Black Forest. The Goodies had that covered.

Would you prefer 'Buddleia Thickets'? In which case it would have to be a 'Tussle', not a fight.

When Doran gets aggravated, he kills people . . .

Exactly how I know about Horst Jankowski!

And I do like Avon's decision to run. Though everyone and everyTHING gets blasted in the last few minutes, I still like running as a serious mission-statement.

Doesn't everyone?

Why the mutoid, Obsidian? What do these things MEAN???

I'm wondering if the names 'Grose' and 'Lector' are derived from 'gross' and 'lecher', and if so whether the name 'Doran' was transformed from some other negative term. It's probably coincidence and has no bearing.

The mutoid is the equivalent of 😃

when I wrote my pantomime and the two henchmen were called 'Rob' and 'Nick'.

I don't know. I wondered if they were taken from names in literature, the way that Chris Brookmyre took the name of the character Jack Parlabane from Robertson Davies books, and several other character's names. Do check out his 'Bedlam" and 'Places in the Darkness' for some good sci-fi writing and B7 references.

What pantomime was this? Do tell, do tell!

Well, not one of my favourite episodes. I think the whole 'future human turns out of be a pathetic homunculus' thing is a bit hackneyed. But it has its moments. Death Watch is much more fun, I think.
