Start times remain at 8.30pm (AEST) and 10.30am (BST) (FYI: Aussies put their clocks FORWARD one hour after today. In the UK we try to pretend it's summer for a another month). D1 Rescue Just when you thought it was all over...Servalan wasn't lying when she said she'd left them a ship on Terminal, but true to form, our heroes decide to steal someone else's instead. This lands them in a whole lot more trouble since the owner isn't best pleased. Let's give a big Aussie welcome to yet another brilliant new character who - like Del Grant and Doran*, who were both worthy of more, IMO - didn't make it beyond a single episode. So how come Servalan did? Not that I'm complaining about that of course, but I do wonder what the series might have been like had some of the other excellent additions been allowed to stay. Not the sea monsters, though. They've had their chance. * Doran, Dorian...coincidence? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Sorry to be picky but ‘remaining’ would be 7:30pm (AEST) not 8:30pm (AEST). But you are correct in saying NEXT week the Aussie start time will be 8:30pm. |

While I’m pleased that the BBC didn’t finish with season C, I also wish they hadn’t done season D. That makes sense, well I know what I mean anyway…….. |

Now I'm confused as well. I thought that putting the clocks forward an hour would mean that next week 8.30 becomes 7.30. Please don't tell me I've got it wrong - or is this some new rebel plot? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Definitely a rebel plot. LOL Clocks change at 2 o’clock in the morning (which is 6 1/2 hours away). So right now we are still on winter time. Tomorrow morning (and therefore next Saturday) we will be on summertime. |

You're confused MsVirn. It remains at 7:30 today and will be 8:30 next week, when clocks have gone forward. Meaning, we're starting shortly... Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

And when we change the clocks we will ‘Spring’ forward - so we will go from 7:30pm to 8:30pm while you guys remain at 10:30am. |

If we hadn't had Season D you'd never have met Dayna, or Og, or seen Orbit. Granted, we could have done without the crabspiders and Piri, but that's more about the acting than the plot (Servalan's brilliant plan was, as always, thwarted, in this one by some incompetent underling who left the voicemail on). I wasn't keen on the stupid costume disaster that was Headhunter, either. But then, at least there's no Sarcophagus and no ridiculous Dr Who lookalikes. Perhaps what you are saying is that the Dereks could have been better, in which case I agree. Servalan could have won.....oh, wait, I think she did, didn't she? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

When you guys finally get round to changing your clocks, you will ‘Fall’ backward (Fall being the American word for Autumn). So it will be 9:30am there when it is 8:30pm here. |

We've met Dayna but we wouldn't have met Soolin, whose mordant humour matches Avon's and Vila's perfectly. It gave me a lot to look forward to when returning to B7.

It means dragging myself out of bed even earlier. Can't wait. (Also, Americans can't cope with a word like Autumn, because it has a silent letter. So they went for the obvious descriptive).

Meanwhile, Avon's gut instinct is telling him that Servalan's ship ain't to be trusted.

I do like Dorian. Think it might be the costume, because it's such a good red. Wish he hadn't had his slightly unfriendly habit of stealing bodies.

I wonder where Avon bought his gauntlets? I'd like some. Burberry did some a few years ago, but I don't think that's where Avon shopped.
