Rewatch Downunder Saturday 6th June B10 Voice From The Past

Start times: Downunder 7.39pm, UK 10.30am.

B10 Voice From The Past
In which Servalan looms large, Travis attempts a disguise, has a fight with an innocent vending machine and is ultimately left behind. There is a plot which, as with all plots, develops complications, none of which help. Blake hears the eponymous voices, and they don't help either. Somewhat unsatisfactory all-round, really. Although great for cosplay by Mrs Underhill at 'Maximum Power'.

Hi, Cashaverre. Good to have you along.

Is there something special on Aussie TV tonight? Where is everyone?
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
M1795537OCVirn
OK, starting anyway! Don't feel you have to comment, Cashaverre, but I hope you enjoy watching!.

Hi Cashaverre and MsVirn. Sorry I'm late. Just getting my accounts out of the way. Very frazzled this week. Beats Blake on a good day.

I don't think they're trying hard enough at their exercises. "Hypertension". Hysterical!

Dissidence apparently. As for the Freedom Party, he ought to have been shot of them long ago.

Why have the king's birthday in late autumn, when you could have his actual birthday in November when the weather would be better?

Jenna seems to think 'oscillating' is important. In the 1970's, it wasn't a word in common use, I suppose.

Hello everyone, nice to be back! Sorry I missed Countdown and got this one instead. I had a very nice lunch with Tyce in London two weeks ago, when it was really hot. It's back to cool and rainy again now.

Hi AnneA. All well? Did you meet up with Tyce?

We've always had the Queen's Birthday Holiday about a week later, even though she was born in April, so the decision was not to move the holiday by much. We're now technically in winter.

Really, Vila. You're smarter than that, and more observant. Blake is b/sing you.

Yes, we had a lovely lunch in London, in a restaturant with a good view of the revamped Regents Canal. I'm OK, although a bit fed up, as it seems that there will not be enough money to pay expenses on the summer school I'm teaching on, so that I will have to find accomodation, meals and train ticket out of my salary, which I think will probably reduce it by at least a third.

Definitely colder and rainy today here. And there's a 100km 'Iron Man' event going right past my house today. At least they're not going to get too hot!

That is one of the bits of this episode that work, IMO. They are clearly close, so that there is something there for Blake to build on, and to explain why Vila goes along with it.

Sheesh. Money for the Humanities is practically non-existent these days, unless your project pays lip-service to the latest political idiocy. Poor you.

Those events are often in winter here. Yuck! At least Spring offers pleasanter weather.

Poor Vila. I guess he's feeling a little bit important having Blake involve him in his subterfuge. At least he goes to the others.

That's not good. I attended some OU Summer Schools as a student in the olden days - in one experiment we managed to create anti-matter when our result came out negative. (Thus proving it was incorrect, otherwise the whole place would probably have ceased to exist). Hope it all works out for you.

Money for the Humanities is non-existent full stop. This is an independent summer school because the university that used to run it ran out of money. That was two years ago - universities are shutting whole departments, and no-one cares.

Ven Glynd appears to have gone through the same sort of reconstruction surgery as Travis did. Looks nothing like the original. As for Shivan...

Evidently, people in the future are a lot more gullible than now. if they believe that 'mummy' is Shivan.
