UK Rewatch - B4 Horizon (Tuesday, April 21st)
trevor travis
The episode: Barney Four - Horizon (Carry On Space Primitive)
The date: Tuesday, April 21st, 2026
The time: 7.45pm UK time

In which we found another way in which the Federation keeps control: by brain-washing the natives into doing their dirty work for them. Meanwhile, Vila discovers the delights of adrenalin and soma. Also, the Libby crew are daft enough to get caught and daft enough to leave Avon behind on his own – especially as the nearest leather store is only one sector away. Will he run out on them?

Episode in a word: Persuasion.
Characters to cheer: This episode includes the full realization of Action-Avon, as he stages a one-man rescue, although there have been hints since Space Fall that he can handle himself. Incidentally, Action-Avon is available from all good retail outlets. He comes complete with: (1) Proddy tool (2) A set of operational buttons on his shirt. Oh, and does Blake actually liberate a planet here? He certainly contributes to it. Good for him.
Character to boo: The Kommissar is as sneaky as a snake. It’s quite satisfactory when he meets his maker.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Recognisable Face: William Square (Kommissar) also played a villain in “Doctor Who”. However, you may not have recognised him, since he played the Shadow in “The Armageddon Factor”, with his face covered by a mask.
Best line: What else could it be... “I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.”

Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Guessing And Hoping.
Vote Og.

It’s 19:45 Earth Standard Time, and here is the news from Earth Dome One. I am your in-studio reporter, Lee R. Pantsonfire.

Our top story tonight: Blake on Horizon. The Komisar of Horizon reported that Blake arrived on the planet recently. As Horizon is semi-autonomous, Blake’s fate was left to the tribal chief, Ro, Ro Yerboat.

Ro reportedly put Blake to work in the mines, where he thrived due to his Welsh ancestry.* Blake escaped the mines, evaded the pursuit ships called to Horizon by the Komisar, and apparently convinced Ro Yerboat to rebel against his Federation Benefactors. That’s gratitude for you amongst the more primitive peoples of the galaxy.

And the pursuit ships arriving on scene at Horizon were destroyed by the automatic planetary defenses, which the Komisar apparently neglected to turn off. It seems that like the lead in The Scottish Play, Blake leads a charmed life.

And speaking of The Scottish play, stay tuned for our 20:00 movie, MacBeth…. Oh, dear…. Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends… or something like that.

*Hey, my mother’s maiden name was Owens, so it’s a family joke. Henry V, Act IV, Scene 7, for I am Welsh, you know, good my countryman. ARAF, TT
