Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast

We finally reach the denouement of Series B but who will get out alive?

That keenest of self-promoters, Servalan, is in a flap as her previously moist parts are dry and her melons are freezing.

Something's up at Star One where the technicians are more cabbage than kings and the neighbourhood is about to go down the (toilet) pan.

Can Blake convince the enemy that he's Travis?

Can Brian Croucher convince us that Travis is remotely interested in Blake's death?

And can Avon and co hold off the advancing fleet of Space car boot sale leftovers?

And do Jim and Martin think the episode is a worthy end to the series or is it more whimper than bang?

Blake and co brave noxious Goth fumes while inspecting every thong they can get their hands on.

Warring brothers, their sorceress sister and a jealous jester serve only to complicate matters.

Does Goth boast a galactically-renowned wine region?

Is Gola any different roaring drunk than roaring sober?

What is the average air speed of a flying codpiece?

And do Jim and Martin think the episode is a keeper or should it be cast Down Below?

Freedom City's subtle forms of satisfaction are not for the likes of Blake and co.

They have a dipsomaniac doctor to find, a cat fight to create and a chess master to challenge. Meanwhile, Servalan has a plot to hatch and a halfwit to explain it to. At least Travis is relatively armless this week.

But can a tin dog really offer sexual satisfaction?

Does Aubrey Woods have a naturally shiny complexion?

Will Jim get to the end of the marathon recording session before passing out?

And did Gambit give the lads immense pleasure or was it a case or more is less?

Something that looks very much like a trap turns out to be... a trap.

Who knew?

Answer: Avon and Cally.

Is Blake out of his mind or is the Epoch of True Freedom (TM) really being heralded?

Who could possibly defeat Le Grand in a staring competition?

Will there ever be an adequate excuse for this...?

And was the episode a welcome blast from the past for Jim and Martin or would they rather hide it behind a fruit machine?

Avon meets an old enemy while the series returns to an old plot device.

The episode, unpredictably called Countdown, throws up some intriguing health and safety issues.

How close should you stand to a firing rocket engine?

Is it wise to submerge your electronic bracelets?

And should you pop your tool into an explosive device?

Did Jim and Martin feel in safe hands with the episode or were they counting down the Space Minutes until it ended?

It's a case of unhappy families this time as Travis blackmails Ushton's brother's wayward son into visiting his uncle and his cousin/former squeeze (don't ask).

Where did Vila's trust issues go?

What occurred back on Exbar between the (variably) youthful Blake and Inga?

What the flipping crikey has happened to the Mutoids?!

And were Jim and Martin captivated by the episode or were they longing to escape from it?

With friends like Tynus, does Avon really need any enemies?

But the entomological artist can be of use to our unemotional anti-hero as those pesky Federation codes won't crack themselves.

Throw in a over-lively cadaver, an ancient virus and some outrageous outfits and our regulars are struggling to stay alive and keep a straight face.

But did Jim and Martin find this episode to be all killer and no filler or was it flogging a Trojan horse.

It's time for Servalan to wash that man right out of her short hair but will Travis go quietly? Or will he get all shouty in a courtroom. [You've probably guessed which.]

Meanwhile, Blake is down and unsafe on a lively planet with a friendly infestation and Avon is safely up in space, monitoring proceedings with amusement/concern*.

But did Jim and Martin find oneness with the episode or was it all a bit of a trial?

And then there were 6.

No spoilers here but a big character who was a bit limited and prone to the odd Breakdown has gone the way of his "woman".

But whose fault was it?

Who is Ronald Travis?

What's that on Servalan's head (and dress come to that)?

And did Jim and Martin thrive on Pressure Point or did they crack?

In this episode our intrepid but knackered travellers try to find some peace on a remote planet.

Needless to say they don't get it but they do get racked, dirty and blow-piped and encounter a puppet, his masters and, worst of all, some white blokes with dreads.

But did Jim and Martin find their horizons broadened or was it all too much like hard work?
