Starting at 7.30pm Downunder, which translates to 10.30am UK time. B7 Killer AKA 'The Mysterious Michelin Men'*, also featuring some shiny brown outfits that several of the locals seem to think are the height of fashion. Avon meets up with an old 'friend', and we can all guess how that's going to turn out. Meanwhile, despite Cally's sixth (or maybe her B7th?) sense, Blake manages to cause the release of an infectious, incurable virus he happened to bring with him. Being the heroic Resistance Leader he is, despite all the deaths (again), he then does the right thing by leaving, after putting the whole place into lockdown, accidentally saving Servalan's life. Just thought you'd like to know. *why? I mean...why? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I’m not sure if I’ll be joining you tonight. I’m in Tassie and don’t have any DVDs or a player with me - but if I’m feeling well enough I will do a virtual rewatch with you. I came to Tassie for a few days to visit my mother for Mother’s Day thought I would be back in Canberra by now but I’m still here because I ended up in hospital for four days. :-( I had an infection and was pretty bad for awhile but I am out of hospital and almost fine now except for being really tired. I hope you are all well and have had a good week. |

Ooh dear. Hope you’re feeling ok soon Tyce. Killer is an absolute classic, so I wish I could be there but I’ll have to be there in spirit only. Robert Holmes is such a great writer. Even if Blake = The Doctor in this episode it can’t hide the genius at work. Happy viewings tonight all  (Though if anyone can explain how Blake, raised in a dome, knows anything about pickle-barrels, please let me know!) I look exactly as Avon reasoned I would.

(Though if anyone can explain how Blake, raised in a dome, knows anything about pickle-barrels, please let me know!) He learned about them from a certain Miss Perkins, who also taught Vila Restal about preserved cucumbers prior to her internal organs being affected by a vinegar or brine solution. |

Sometimes I wonder where JD gets his information... Hi, Aussies. Sorry to hear you've been ill, Tyce: hope you're feeling better now. If you have internet access maybe you could watch it on Dailymotion ? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x22...eo/x22oosq Sorry you'll miss this one, BlueyH. Maybe next week? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Last week we had a trial to watch. I hear this one is a bit of a trial to watch, too. |

Hi All Just finding and loading the correct disk. It's stuck on where I was last watching, trying to do a glass identification. I hope you are all well. Tyce, I hope things are returning to normal. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Yet another lovely sunny day here in t' North. Although this weather is forecast to break into showers by this time next week. It's been good, to have zero rain for weeks and weeks but it'll be nice get back to normal and not to have to water the garden all the time.

Little rain here has meant dazzling autumn colour here in Canberra. Sometimes it's just brown sludge in the gutters. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Good evening Obsidian, good evening Mrs Virn. How do you go about identifying the glassware, Obsidian? Are you searching using an image or just a written description? |

Lovin' the locusts. Reminds me of the time we sort of accidentlly released the locusts my school kept for Biology stuff, and had to spend the rest of our free time catching them all before anyone found out we'd been there.

It's a triangular crystal decanter, mid-century etc. Search as given. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

'Cally is not often wrong' says Blake. So why don't you LISTEN to her?

Cally's locator fix ended up on a black dot. It looked like there was a fly sitting on it. "Not like home," says Vila, looking at a great big dome just like the one he would've lived in on Earth. |

I hope you are all well and have had a good week. How awful, Tyce - you poor things! Take care of yourself, and take it slowly getting back to normal, if you can. Listen to your body, and don't overdo it. These things can take a while to get over. |

I could have sworn Orac said "Wait a sec" to Blake. Hmmm.

And, similarly, I could have sworn Vila just said "We've just been for a pint", to Tynus. Crikey!

Perhaps he's tried to forget his past. The effects of too much adrenaline and soma? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

This is my least favourite episode of Blakes 7 - as I suspect I say every year. Hope you are all well. I'm in the middle of cleaning the house for a guest, who will arrive this afternoon, and have just taken delivery of a new bath mat. |

Tynus is sketching a grasshopper. I still think there's a connection between his drawings and the base uniforms. |

Full quarrantine restrictions don't seem to be quite full enough, do they? Otherwise, half the plot vanishes.

Yes, I'm getting quite a bit of exam invigilation, which is good. And I've just finished some translation work, which will also bring some money in. |

My brother's coming to stay for a couple of nights and if he's lucky I'll make up the spare bed for him.... "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I like Vila's outfit. It looks much better than some of the others he's had to wear up until now. |
