The episode: Colin Nine – Sarcophagus (Carry On Kissing Corpses aka Carry On Shipping) The date: Tuesday, August 27th, 2024 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which writer Tanith Lee comes into the series and gives us a Liberator-based fantasy-based episode which is very character-driven and delightfully different, as well as an episode where the actual writer starts ‘shipping Cally and Avon, as the subtext becomes the text. Also, Vila does a few magical tricks and Dayna starts singing. All together now: “I left my world to wander in this endless midnight sky, for space is just a starry night where no suns ever rise." And Jan Chappell looks absolutely stunning as the undead alien and puts in a fabulous performance. Episode in a word: Necrophilia. Character to cheer: Avon saves the day in this one, so it’s him. Considering his metaphorical death at the end of the previous episode, he’s actually in pretty fine form. Character to boo: I appreciate the Alien was manipulating events due to extent during the argument between Tarrant and Avon, but Tarrant was still being a right git. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. Recognisable Face: Given the only extras in this episode are in the opening scene and in heavy make-up, it has to be one of the main cast. Let’s go for: Steven Pacey (Tarrant) who played the vicar in Troubles and Strife, a sitcom from the 1980s. Not a particularly great sitcom from what I recall, but it was on prime-time television. Best exchange: AVON: “Regret is part of being alive. But keep it a small part.” CALLY: “As you do?” AVON: “Demonstrably.” Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Being Blue Vote Og.

Yay, my external DVD thingy is working this evening. Let's see if it behaves itself.... Now to get ready. Tea (mug of Yorkshire), Biccies (Lidl's malted milk) and also from Lidl those choccie pringle shaped things (salted caramel), Aldi don't seem to do them anymore so I brought TWO packs this time...yum. This episode also contains one of my all time fave camera tracking shots. Considering just how big and cumbersome the cameras were back in the day it is very impressive. It takes place during Avon's chit chat with the alien. Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Hello. It's 38C here at the moment so a good time to stay inside in the air conditioning! I don't think that corpse thing would last too long in this weather!
