Not just cause we here in Oz always like to be first! - but also I'm thinking there's 52 episodes and.... we'll..... 52 weeks in a year (do you see where I'm going with this) .....um.... if we're behind we'll be watching 'Blake' in 2023. (Good god I say 2023 - I havent even got my mind around 2022 yet!!!) Anyway, just a thought.

I'd be happy to do a double rewatch also, so that we can catch up, although I must confess, I've done a spot of rewatching anyway. Interesting what thoughts came into my mind this time. Probably fairly close to what I thought back in 1979... Looking forward to Saturday, Southern/Eastern Hemisphere peeps. See you there! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

But at least everyone else is back there too. You have to do what certain others have done in the past and comment on every thread. "See" you soon! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

It's great to see everyone on our shiny new Forum - welcome! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I warm to Avon in this ep. because, by pulling the gun and his "Don't touch its", he shows that he's afraid, whereas Blake is all full of himself. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
