The episode: Derek Thirteen - Blake (Carry On Dying) The date: Wednesday, December 21st, 2022 The time: 7.45pm UK time A reminder of the Season Derek drinking game – no additions needed, although a stomach pump may be required after the final scene: Here’s the number of sips/swigs per each of these: Avon is knocked unconscious 1 A scientist dies/is already dead (per scientist) 5 A member of the main cast wears the same costume as last week (per costume) 2 There’s the sequence (or part of the sequence) of Scorpio landing / taking off at Xenon Base 3 Vila drinks something red (per scene) 10 Tarrant falls in love 5 Soolin shoots someone (per person) 5 Slave says “sorry” (each mention) 1 Each mention of “Sleer” 2 Avon laughs manically and/or smiles inappropriately 5 There’s a downbeat ending in sharp contrast to the jangly end theme 10 The final shot of the episode includes Paul Darrow 3 A member of the main cast is killed or stunned (per cast member) 1 bottle of wine / 1 can of beer * * For clarification, this also includes when a computer member of the crew stops functioning and when a past crew member is reported dead. Meanwhile, it’s time for the Blake’s 7 Christmas Special. "IT'S CHRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST-MAS!!!!" Lovely of jolly japes with Avon and crew, as they encounter Santa Claus and attend the wedding of Roj Blake and Jenna Stannis, and "Everyone Lives". Woo-hoo!!!! ** ** The actual contents of this episode may vary slightly. Episode in a word: Massacre. Character to cheer: Tarrant is a bit of a hero in this one – in his efforts to crash land Scorpio (especially, as we’ve found out, he skipped the Federation academy before they taught him how to land a ship). He does mess it up a bit later on, though, by not spotting that Blake was playing games. Mind you, that’s more the fault of Blake. Characters to boo: A joint award to Blake and Avon, who manage to mess things up even more than usual. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. She’s not looking so good for the final minute or so, although she escapes with a flesh wound after I lent her my cigarillo case. Recognisable Face: David Collings (Deva) has been in just about everything, including Silver in “Sapphire And Steel”, the headmaster in “Press Gang”, and a couple of roles in “Doctor Who”. Best exchange: TARRANT: “You going to tell us what we've got planned, Avon?” VILA: “We know what we've got planned. Running away is what we've got planned.” DAYNA: “A strategic withdrawal is what we've got planned.” VILA: “There's a difference?” TARRANT: “Oh, yes. A strategic withdrawal is running away... but with dignity.” VILA: “So lay in a course and let's get the dignified hell out of here.” B7 will not return… EVER!

On Scorpio there’s lots of tension On the subject of Blake there’s dissension. After Tarrant’s crash landing, though Avon’s still standing, I don’t think he’ll collect his pension. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

I can't make this one, sorry- have a dental appointment right during the rewatch. Tell me how it comes out- I expect Blake and Avon will reunite as fast friends and go their merry way, hand and hand into the sunset, right? Anyway, have fun !?! and I'll be with you in spirit.

I likely won't make this either (except perhaps to stick my head in and say 'Bibble' as I will be very busy at work tomorrow.

And here is the glass I shall be using...  I know it's a Simpson's one, but its the only thing I could find that was big enough...just don't tell Daughter No. 1 that I've borrowed it.......Hic! Hic! Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

41 years ago, I was getting my two daughters to bed and taking the phone off the hook. A trailer was shown, "Oh," says I to Hubby, "Something happens to Tarrant!" I had no idea what was about to unfold...... So I shall now go and get my tea, choccie and biccies....... Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!

You have tested positive for Covid and they still expect you to go into work???? That is so wrong on so many ways. I'm sure they can't sack you as you could be putting everyone at risk. Wrongful dismissal springs to mind. Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Policy now is legal standard you can go to work if you and most people vaccination,I'm on a stage one,,this would put me on a stage 2 ,,I'm a postman because of the strikes they are suspending sacking anyone they can,to go to court for unfair dismissal is about £10,000 in total and 18-24 months,it's horrible at work worse iv know. So I just have to grit my teeth. I got 2 weeks off from Saturday. I plan to live forever,or die trying.

Hello everyone! I'm actually here tonight, celebrating the happy ending of B7, the winter solstice and my birthday in the best possible way! How is everyone? OracVZen - sorry you're not well, it's horrifying that they're making you work. LittleSue - very nice wine rack! BradPaula - sorry to miss you this evening. Wishing you & Groucho an excellent Xmas! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

So I just have to grit my teeth. I got 2 weeks off from Saturday. My Hubby was a postie. He loved it until he got back into the hob he has always done in the building industry. He has said if he was looking for a job now he wouldn'y apply to be one because of what they are planning to do. My daughter works in the chemist round the road. Anybody who tests positive is told to go home and stay home until they test negative. A customer came in and declared that she had covid...I think she was marched out the front door!!!! Even if your are vaccinated you can still get the thing. Anyway have 2 weeks off and have a rest Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!

Hi, everyone. Covid again Oracvzen? Sorry to hear that. And yes, it sounds horrendous about your job. Hope you can spend your two weeks off getting better. Covid has a nasty habit of hanging around if you don't get some proper rest. Thanks for the pics of the new kitchen, Sue. For a moment I thought it was the view out of a starcruiser's viewscreen, - so SHINY. Ditto with the Prawn Cocktail Pringles here, but no white wine. Yet. OK, on with the fun. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
