The episode: Albert Seven – Mission To Destiny (Carry On Space Poirot) The date: Tuesday, February 13th, 2024 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which Avon and Cally find out whodunit, and Stuart Fell lives up to his name (PS if anyone wants to find out how the murderer got Stuart Fell onto the top of the cupboard, I’ll explain later). Meanwhile, Blake goes on a trip that takes four days one way and five minutes to return. Maybe Jenna is the same as Holly and doesn’t know how to navigate the ship and is going around in big circles (obligatory Red Dwarf reference). Episode in a word: 54124. Character to cheer: Space Poirot, of course. Although he’s the one who misreads it in the first place as 5-4-1-2-4 when it blatantly says S-A-R-A. And he also reveals the murderer with his back turned to her, so that she can pull a gun. So, Space Poirot, 9/10 for style, but 1/10 for execution. Character to boo: Blake - for being judge, jury and executioner in the final scene. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Face: Brian Hopwood (Rafford) was nice Mr Hopwood in Grange Hill. He also played a nasty murderer in Coronation Street. He only lasts one scene in this episode, before writing S-A-R-A using his own blood as he dies. Who would do that? Someone who badly needed a pen (additional Red Dwarf reference). Best exchange: It’s gotta be: CALLY: “My people have a saying, a man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.” AVON: “Life expectancy must be fairly short among your people.” Blake's 7 will return in... Carry On Throwing Nuts. Vote Og.

I realise that there is always great confusion about which episode we are going to watch, when it comes to Mission To Destiny, because there are several other episodes with very similar names. To clarify, we are not watching any of the following B7 episodes: Mission To Dentistry: Blake develops really bad toothache and is in an even worse mood than usual. But a trip to the dentist can cause problems… especially when the dentist is a big fan of Travis. Mission To Dysentery: Fending off ten Federation Pursuit ships simultaneously is never easy. But it’s even more difficult when the crew have diarrhoea, thanks to Cally undercooking her Auron Veggie Chilli Burgers. Missionary Position on Destiny: A Season C story. The Ultra recapture Dayna and Tarrant, and want yet more information on the human bonding ceremony (this story is banned in many countries due to its explicit content). Mission To Dynasty: Servalan and Alexis Colby both have problems with blokes called Blake… so they decide to pool their resources and also their shoulder pads. Mission To Destiny Of The Daleks: A Blake’s 7 / Doctor Who crossover episode, starring Gareth Thomas as Blake, Paul Darrow as Avon, Tom Baker as the Doctor, David Gooderson as Davros and Tom Chadbon as the naked, bound prisoner. We are NOT watching any of the above five episodes, which all have to wait for another time. However, we are watching: Mission To Destiny: Avon and Cally solve a murder mystery on the Ortega, Blake goes off on a wild goose chase and then takes 5 minutes to do a journey which took 100 hours going the other way, and Travis does… well, nothing because he’s not in this episode. Vote Og.

During the rewatch of this episode, someone usually asks how Sara had managed to get Dortmunn's body onto the cupboard. As TT already has lots to explain later, I'll help him and give you the answer to this particular question now:  |

What an unsolvable mystery! Completely unsolvable except for the one piece of evidence I've had all along, that I only disclose at the very end. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

For some reason, I love this episode. Mr Wonky eye chatting up Cally, Ms Levett eyeing up that rather nice computer expert. When I first saw this back in 1978, I had no idea that those marks spelled out Sara...maybe that's why in 1979, I named Daughter No 2 Sarah (with an H). Anyway, with all its faults and gaping plot holes...I love it. Now to get me tea, choccie (pringle shaped ones) and biccies. Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!

Hello everyone, greetings from the green planet. I've never liked murder mysteries, because for the story to make any sense someone has to die, which is so sad... and this one is worse than most in terms of plausibility. Good screaming, though. Second only to Piri.
