Rewatch Downunder Saturday 20th July, C3 Volcano
M1795537OCVirn
Starting at 7.30pm (AEST) or UK 10.30am (BST) and Tyce 11.30am (CEST)

C3 Volcano
I have to admit that this isn't one of my favourite episodes, but one has to take the rough with the smooth... let's see, what's good about it?
Servalan's been in touch with her designer and yet again defies all odds by wearing a new white frock while hiking around on a volatile planet. And she wins by default. That's all you need to know, really.
Oh, all right: in their search for a new home, Avon and his little friends visit someone Dayna's dad used to know, but the thought of having them as close neighbours upsets the locals, making them so angry they threaten to blow themselves up. Rather childish and manipulative of them if you ask me. But then, Avon's not good at taking 'no' for an answer. Looks like becoming a stand-off. Now read on.

OK, it's time, Aussies. Anyone under there?

As a matter of interest, does anyone read my descriptions in the thread post?

Hmmm, where to start? The seriously ill cat? The broken bone (tiny) in my hand courtesy of the UK or the friend with dementia? Have I done any work since getting back to OZ? About 2 hrs worth. All good over there?

Ready!

Hello. I'm actually on time for once - I've just been taking delivery of a sunlounger for the garden, a my old deck chair collapsed under me on Wedenesday, and we actually seem to been having a few hot days for a change.

By the way, I see that Bamburgh won a Britain's finest beach competition the other day. Portmeiron (as in The Prisoner) second, and St Andrews third. Both also very sandy.

You really wouldn't want to be standing that close to a volcano...

You can tell he's new to this - he doesn't realise that it's 'Down and safe'.

Yes, I usually do, although I confess not today cause I was late arriving.

Tarrant trying to sound hard, never trusts anyone....don't make me laugh.

1m: stock footage of a volcano.

I think that is the same volcano footage from The Mind Robber

I don't think you could. Lie down, overheating and choking on the fumes, maybe.

Getting a bit desperate to do some work but Fergus wants cuddles pretty much all the time, poor lad.

No, it doesn't. It sounds wonderful to me: sharp.

5m: Zen recites a Federation report on the volcano activity.

Say what you will about the evils of Federation, they did keep good geological records

It looks wonderfully sinister, and the camera lingers on it in a very creepy way. But it does absolutely nothing that matters.

6m: I really love the colour palette of the Liberator deck tonight. And I do like the golden hues of the Obsidian HQ

Hower's dismissive 'oh dear' when he hears about Hal Mellanby's death is deeply unpleasant.

The team are still looking for Blake but Avon is beginning to get cynical... that sounds like a few months to me
