Avon might run, eh? I would, if I had to put up with leadership like Blake's. Fantastic spaceships and world-beating computers aren't everything you know. There's more where they came from.

Hello everyone. We're still on disc 1 on the Dutch CDs, Ms Virn - disc 2 next week.

I like this episode - lots of good world building, even though they are still stuck with the old-fashioned but surprisingly prevalent idea that slave labour is the best way to mine anything.

Talking of CDs, is the new BBC one really called 'Revenge of the Mutoes', rather than Mutoids?

HI, AnneA. Yes, it's mutoes. The stories are from the old B7 Annuals,

He was looking a little aghast at the daftness earlier.

Yo! Stop bullying Cally, Avon.

Interesting. There used to be a lane in Elie (a village in Fife where we spent summer holidays) called Muttoes Wynd. Perhaps that's where they are plotting their revenge from?

Fine, thank you, Tyce, and enjoying the sunshine. How are you?

He does look like them.

I think he was one of Julia's lovers in a recent episode of I Claudius.

The best in the sense of being cruel to other humans, I suppose.

Yes - the CD is readings of stories from the Annuals published in 1978 etc. They were the typical paid-for-hire writers churning out any old thing just to have something to sell at Christmas time. These are the same annuals that had drawings of Servalan with long hair and Travis with a beard. The CD title is the name of one of the stories.

Then again, we could imagine that if a crimo is turned into a mutoid, you get a super-evil 'muto' mutoid.

Hi AnneA. Feeling brighter these days?

I have no idea what's happening with the CDs. been too caught up with other stuff. You're reminding me to go and have a look for them.

No, I was wrong. It's Muttoes Lane, and it's in St Andrews, not Elie. Perhaps these Mutoes have a golf-based culture?

Yes, in I CLAVDIVS. His brother looks very similar, too, in the thumbnails out there.

Yes, he's in I, Claudius. His character dies in a boating accident arranged by Livia, I think. Unfortunately he died young in real life.

Ha ha ha ha ha Vila didn’t even wait for dart to take affect - he just fainted. Ha ha ha ha ha.

They said at the start they all needed a rest. Great to see Jenna & Blake getting to laze around on these sun lounger/clothes horse things.

If they lived in caves, did they get monopasium poisoning?

Yes, the warmer weather is definitely helping, thanks.

I should really get into some of these CDs. The ones about the Clonemasters might be interesting.

If Scotland already has Mutoes, that might explain a lot.

Yes, yes, they look so lovely and comfortable. ;-)

Apparently this episode was brought forward to cover a gap due to Pip & Jane Baker's "Death Squad" script falling through. If it had stayed as the eighth episode, the intergalactic drive reference would be closer to the final episode. Not that there's anything else in the other episodes to hint at reactions to an external threat.

That's a continuity blip, but there are one or two others, espeically the reference to them being on the adrenaline and soma for ages when Vila has just before been introduced to it. I still like this episode a lot because it's always pertinent. Anyone who thinks we've been "post-colonial" the last few decades is an idiot.

That sort of thing. They look like the metal base from a table we nicked from a tute room at ANU and is currently the support for the lemon tree frost cover.
