Start times: Downunder 8.30pm, UK 09.30am. BUT by next week, the nothern hemisphere will have been transported into a different time zone and will begin an hour later at 10.30am (a much more civilised time to be up and awake). A13 Orac Armed with boots and stupid maps that look more like a child's idea of what a map might be, Servalan and Travis somehow manage to find their way through tunnels infested with Dr Who extras into the continuation of episode 12. Blake and the others take a trip to the seaside, and come away with more than they'd bargained for. Someone still dies, of course, since Blake's in charge. Enjoy, as they say. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Grandchild free weekend, should be there joining you all tonight. Can’t wait for that Orac-y goodness.
I look exactly as Avon reasoned I would.

I don't imagine any of you Downunders have managed to drag yourselves away from the dinner table yet, but I'm ready. One day I really will start at the time stated in the inro, and then where will you be? I know, you'll just start when you're ready. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

OK, Tyce, I take it back. You're nearly always on time. Hi, btw, and hope you're ok.

I've not got near a dinner table yet. That always comes after.

So it's snarky Tyce today, eh? Well, it's what one expects from rebels. This episode could have been so much better with a bigger budget etc etc, Or just some proper maps.

Shut up about sunshine. We have the chance of a partial solar eclipse today and what do we have - clouds, with rain forecast. Well, that's better than the hail we had yesterday, I guess, but I'd rather have the eclipse. Starting. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Going away always means catching up and it ain't fun. All good over there? Not too soggy? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Ooh, nice little effect on the Blu-Ray to start with. And they have a nice little romantic speed-dating booth on the flight deck this week.

It's a bit mean, making Avon listen to Blake's recording just to that we catch up on the 'plot'.

If I was in that situation, I'd back Avon's view. Nobody's got 100 million credits available. Someone's working some sort of swindle.

Hello everyone. I actually started on time today. Sorry to miss last week's - I was in Cambridge, meeting up with a friend back from Japan on a visit. Had a lovely time, but it's good to be back too. |

Gan's got a touch of the vapours again – and a Guzzini set I can't find in that colour – and Avon looks thrilled at the chance to see Blake's home movie.
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I think it's so that we know it's a continuation of the last episode. After all, Blake still has the power cells for Ensor. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

'I want to make a test' isn't what any normal person would say. Just 'come here, I want to tet you as well' perhaps. But then, Cally's not human, so...

I think Vila just confirmed that the little side corridor at the front of the flight deck leads to the (space) toilet cubicle.

that pump in the fish tank is a bit overpowering. Poor little cichlids will be deafened.

Ensor's got lots of trays of dirt under his potplants. Shades of the greenhouse set-up in The Martian. |
