UK Rewatch - A1 The Way Back

The episode: Albert One - The Way Back (Carry On Child Molesting) The date: Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024 The time: 7.45pm UK time An absolute belter to begin with! Roj Blake finds about his past, while virtually everyone is in on the conspiracy, and almost all of the good guys who you think might become one of "Blake's Seven" end up dead. Terry Nation loved his doom-laden opening episodes! Vila, who plays a very minor role in this episode, provides the only comic relief, and even he's a darker character than in later episodes. Episode in a word: Grim. Character to cheer: Tel Varon is a nice guy, and the only person in the Justice Department who seems to be after proper justice. Guess what happens to him? Character to boo: Morag is only in a couple of scenes, but she's the one who cooks up the way to discredit Blake, by fabricating evidence that he's a child molester. She's probably President by the time of Season Derek. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. Recognisable Face: Jeremy Wilkin (Dev Tarrant) played a baddie in the Doctor Who serial, "Revenge Of The Cybermen". But there's LOTS of other people in "The Way Back" who are in other stuff. Best line: Not the quote-fest of some subsequent episodes (the strength of this episode is in other areas), so I'll go with: "They didn't give me a choice. I steal things. Compulsive, I'm afraid. I've had my head adjusted by some of the best in the business. But it just won't stay adjusted." Blake’s 7 will return in… Carry On Convict Vote Og.

Okay, said I, I'll give it a go. Having seen Star Trek the Motion Picture and completely put paid to my ST fandom, she knew I was a bit low. On Saturday 31st Dec I had gone to see tha new film everyone was crazy about Star Wars...I was not impressed. So I sat down that Monday evening, 2nd Jan 1978 and....wow, I was hooked..Much to the dismay of Daughter no. 1 who was but 11 months old. She has never forgiven Mr Terry Nation for taking my attention from her.. ...and as for the following week...don't evem mention HIM..... Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!! Sue's Book Shelf https://www.mediafire.com/folder/z1xg...Zine_Shelf Rebel Run Video https://youtu.be/8prqS-XZtLo
