(yup, episode B7 of B7!) The episode: Barney Seven – Killer (Carry On Space Michelin Men). So, yes, it’s episode B7 of B7! The date: Tuesday, May 12th, 2025 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which we meet an “old friend” of Avon; Blake tries to stop a whole Federation colony dying from an airborne Space Coronavirus (answers on a Space Postcard as to how Blake, Avon and Vila avoid catching Space Coronavirus) ; and June’s Hudson most outlandish costumes appear! Episode in a word: Plague! Characters to cheer: Blake is quite selfless here – he puts himself at risk to try to save Fosforon. I just wish he didn't interrupt Dr Bellfriar at the end. Bellfriar is a sign that the Federation can have some quite decent people working for it. Character to boo: Tynus turns out to be a bit of a toe-rag. Mind you, I get the idea that most of Avon’s circle of ‘friends’ are all as self-serving as each other. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Face: Ronald Lacey (Tynus) played the Bishop Of Bath and Wells in “Blackadder II”. That involved threatening to put a red-hot poker up some rather unfortunate places, and he ended up with him in bed with Lord Percy. Oh, and a bonus in this episode. Not necessarily a recognisable ‘face’ as such, but Morris Barry (Dr Wiley, the autopsy bloke) directed a classic Doctor Who serial, “The Tomb Of The Cybermen” back in the mid-60s, before turning his hand to acting. Best line: “When Avon holds out the hand of friendship, watch his other hand. That's the one with the hammer.” Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Kissing Cousins Vote Og.
