Starting at 7.30pm (AEST) and 10.30am (BST) C10 Ultraworld I keep getting bits of this episode confused with B1 Redemption. Can't think why. Our heroes find an artificial intelligence they don't understand, get themselves in trouble and somehow, against all the odds, manage to escape, leaving a trail of collateral damage. Cally gets all telepathic again, Vila saves the day, but in a change to the usual format, Tarrant does something right, for once. Although it might have been more interesting if he'd got it wrong. (Meanwhile, Servalan has been taking a holiday and since there is a long, long way to go, and since Federation ships are a bit slower than Libby, is probably already setting off on her way to next week's episode). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hi M179, I said the same on Tuesday,I think very similar story to redemption, but that's not bad. I plan to live forever,or die trying.

(Meanwhile, Servalan has been taking a holiday She’s probably sunning herself on the plains of Suni. Where the mean temperature has gone up by twenty degrees and it hasn't rained anywhere on that planet in sixty days. I wonder if she’s wearing a bikini?! |

I am out tonight but I reckon this will be a hilarious rewatch. I recall there is a scene where the ultraworldians lower a giant camera on Dayna and Tarrant to observe human relationships and it's such an "anorak" moment (hope I'm using that work correctly). Anyway, hope you're all well! |

Which would explain a few things... |

I think this is the one where last week the Liberator crew spot something unknown floating in space and Avon says, we should just keep away, and this week they spot something unknown floating in space and Avon says, we should definitely check it out. |

Can it be considered an artificial planet if nothing can live on the outside of it? |

I think this is the one where last week the Liberator crew spot something unknown floating in space and Avon says, we should just keep away, and this week they spot something unknown floating in space and Avon says, we should definitely check it out. The crucial factor in each case is that Tarrant says the opposite - Avon is just being cussed. |

Which would explain a few things... Whenever Big Finish or whoever sends a script to Josette Simon asking her to reprise the role I like to think Ultraworld is the episode she thinks of before declining politely. Dayna is maybe the most underwritten multi-season character. There's a version in there of a person who grew up super isolated and loves to engineer things and blow stuff up but it's never well drawn unfortunately. |

Can it be considered an artificial planet if nothing can live on the outside of it? I can remember as a kid seeing lots of books showcasing SF paintings, like the Terran Trade Authority books by Stewart Cowley. They'd always have a Dyson Sphere, which was like an inside out planet. Everyone lived inside it, as it was easier to contain the atmosphere that way. It gave the artists a chance to draw great sprawling landscapes curving upwards in the distance. |

HI! Sorry - why do people have to call just when I'm starting a rewatch. OK, where are you up to?

[quote name=Joe Dredd post=59717]I like to think Ultraworld is the episode she thinks of before declining politely. I hope so. I always get worried it's the episodes where they point out her skin colour, like "Will I pass for a Helot?" in Traitor. |

This is a very silly episode - enjoyably silly, in places, but silly. Although he saves the day, I don't like what they do with Vila, and so many of his jokes are completely anachronistic (parking meteors, FFS). |
