UK Rewatch - C1 Aftermath (Tuesday, July 8th)
trevor travis
The episode: Colin One – Aftermath (Carry On Doing Watersports)
The date: Tuesday, July 8th, 2025
The time: 7.45pm UK time

In which we can get out our stopwatches to record the length of the Intergalactic War; the fates of Vila and Cally are left in the balance, while Blake and Jenna go ‘the other way’; Avon moves to top billing and gets to snog both Dayna and Servie; the local Rent-A-Tribe take their Annual Leave to go to Bamburgh beach for two weeks; Servie shoots a blind man in the back; and some curly-haired chap turns up in the closing seconds.

Episode in a word: Aftermath (can’t beat the episode title in this case).
Characters to cheer: Dayna is immediately likeable, while Jacs smoulders as Servie in this episode. That week must just be worth it.
Character to boo: Chel needs some stress balls, like Rimmer in “Red Dwarf”, to help him chill out a bit. Grind those balls, Chel!
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Recognisable Face, or rather voice: Cy Grant (Hal Mellanby) was Lieutenant Green in Captain Scarlet. How cool is that? I don’t think he can be related to Del Grant, since he’s not ginger. Oh, and look out for the cameo by Captain Mike Yates and the Tereptil Leader (both from Doctor Who) as doomed Federation Troopers.
Best exchange: MELLANBY: “You were magnificent.” AVON: “Not from where I was sitting.”

Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Space Nurse
Vote Og.

Bumping this one up so that we watch the right episode on Tuesday Grin Grin

It's Aftermath on Tuesday, not Volcano. A spam poster bumped up the Volcano thread and then an over-eager mod put a stickie on the wrong thread (which as a member of the common 'rabble', I can't remove). But, nevertheless, we have to wait another fortnight before we can enjoy the Flashing Groin Robot.

No problem. This thread is back towards the top, so hopefully people will watch the right episode on Tuesday. Including Paula, who picked up a reputation for watching the wrong episode at least twice - including some confusing references during Blackadder II, when she was talking about devil's dumplings at the same time the rest were referring finest green (or vice versa, I can't remember which way around it was now).

Sorry, TT. That will teach us to check the date before telling you off!

And don't forget to look out for the only people on the beach that day who didn't get the message about the Beeb filming.

As revealed at Teal Vandor in 1981 by Uncle Vere who brought the actual reel of film in. He said it was only when they got into the editing suite that the interlopers were noticed and it was too late (and would have cost a fortune) to organise a reshoot.
I wonder if they are aware that they are now part of TV history!!

I like to think of them as cultured northern Sarrans, visiting the beach for a day of relaxation. I mean they may not be like the primitive horseback Sarrans, but we can’t assume that every world has a planet-wide monoculture like in Star Trek can we?

I look exactly as Avon reasoned I would.

Sorry this is a bit late. The Boss has been busy this week and forgot to recharge my batteries.

From The Electronic Journal of Roj Bear (Avon’s Teddy, if you’re new to these)0

They say this is the Aftermath. Well, after math usually came recess. Maybe that’s why Hal Mellanby gave Avon some nice black pajamas to put on… but I get ahead of myself.

The galactic war… We came, We saw, We got our butts kicked. Cally was nice enough to stuff me in the escape pod with The Boss. Jenna and Blake went together, I heard Jenna saying something along the lines of, “We only signed up for two years. I’m going to try farming, I’ll drop you off in Stratford.”

Oh, and while hanging with the Mellanbys, the ‘other woman’ showed up. Seriously, the way Servalan and The Boss act, kissing, fighting, kissing, fighting, you’d think they’d been married for years. I think maybe Servie caught The Boss kissing Dayna. This led to a messy divorce, Servie got Orac, but The Boss is going to appeal that decision, with a really big gun.

Of course, to rescue Servie, I mean, Orac, we have to fight this week’s Rent A Tribe.

We get Orac, Servie gets away, Dayna loses her family, so she comes with us, and we get back to Liberator only to find that Blake-Lite has taken over and thinks it’s HIS ship.

TTFN,

Roj Bear.

I walked past a plot of spare land, fenced off, waiting to be redeveloped. The fences were holding back the biggest weeds I have ever seen...
