Shake and Blake

Ian and Dave are back to watch two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Moloch," the Liberator follows Servalan to a mysterious hidden planet where a legion of Federation troops have acquired a new technology and have designs on taking over the Federation. In "Death-Watch," Tarrant's brother acts as a champion in a well-mannered war between empires, which Servalan looks to disrupt for her own purposes. Plus, a Doctor assesses the medical accuracy of "Ultraworld," how has Karma punished Colonel Sanders, and does one feedbacker's powers of prediction mean he should be burnt as a witch?

Dave and Ian cover two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Sarcophagus," the Liberator encounters an ancient space tomb that isn't as dead as it should be because, you guessed it, Cally is telepathically possessed. In "Ultraworld," the crew encounters an artificial planet and a gigantic computer that can only be defeated through the medium of limericks. Which episode is so bad it's Web-esque? How much much fun can you have in Vegas when your parents are accountants? What is the color of technology-based evil? Why is Dave channelling the spirit of Marvin Gaye? These and many other questions are answered.

Ian and Dave once again delve into the world of Blake's 7. In "Children of Auron," Servalan releases a deadly plague on Cally's home planet, which lures the Liberator crew into a trap. In "Rumors of Death," Avon is out to avenge the death of the woman he loved, while Servalan's first official reception as President is rudely interrupted by rebels. They also discuss well-written minor characters, the unexpected responsibility forced upon one Auron space traffic controller, and Vila's drink problem. Plus, their resident clergyman suggests the best place to shoot a dictator, and will Ian gaze into the Fist of Toland?

They're back! After a month off due to the death and resurrection of Dave's computer, the Shake and Blake boys return in a blaze of glory! In "The Harvest of Kairos," Tarrant plans some piracy but is unprepared for his old mentor Jarvik, who wins both the Liberator and Servalan's affections. In "The City at the Edge of the World," Vila gets more than he bargained for when the notorious Bayban the Butcher hires him to open an impregnable room. Plus, the Who count finally notches up a Doctor, Jarvik is hailed as the ultimate man, and Dave channels Ian's former co-host.

All aboard the good ship Shake and Blake, as Ian Wilson and Dave Probert embark on choppy waters. In "Volcano," Tarrant and Dayna attempt to negotiate with a group of extreme pacifists, while Servalan attempts to take the Liberator. In "Dawn of the Gods," the Liberator passes through a black hole and encounters a figure from Cally's mythology. (Remember the last time that happened?) Ian's knowledge of children's television is called into question, one character makes Dave so angry he unleashes a storm of C-bombs, and "The Web" loses its crown as worst episode of Blake's 7.

Dave and Ian embark upon season three of Blake's 7. In "Aftermath," after battling an armada trying to invade the galaxy, the crew abandons a badly damaged Liberator, and Avon meets new allies and an old enemy. In "Powerplay," Avon finds the Liberator occupied by Federation troops. He and Dayna must find a murderer and retake the ship while Vila and Cally are cared for by people who aren't as benevolent as they appear. The boys from Britain also discuss new members of the crew, debate what is "The Web" of Star Trek, and which of the episodes discussed is an allegory for Britain's current government.

Dave and Ian experience the agony and the ecstasy of Blake's 7 as they close out the year with another two episodes. In "Gambit," Blake looks for a man who might know where Star One is, Avon and Vila use Orac to break the bank at a casino, and Servalan deals with the flamboyant mobster Krantor. In "The Keeper," Blake searches for a man who definitely knows where Star One is, everyone tells Jenna she's beautiful, and Cosplay Travis kicks a jester. Plus, how midgets can improve extreme gambling, some old friends appear in a truly epic Who count, and Ian makes a seasonal appeal for feedback via the medium of song.

Ian Wilson and Dave Probert embark on another voyage into the weird world of Blake's 7. In "Countdown," Avon faces someone from his past while Blake tries to save a planet that the Federation has condemned to death. In "Voice from the Past," Blake begins to act strangely‚ȧ and the crew finds themselves part of a conspiracy to overthrow the Federation. The also discuss the merits of a bandage acting, Ian get one up on Dave's film knowledge, and Dave learns the true meaning of the phrase "babychest."

Dave and Ian once again invite you to climb aboard their ramshackle audio caravan as they watch two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Killer," Avon and Vila blackmail an old accomplice of Avon to help them steal a vital crystal, while Blake warns a group of scientists about a mysterious ship that has been missing for centuries. In "Hostage," Travis contacts Blake to offer an alliance, and, to make sure he has Blake's attention, holds Blake's cousin prisoner. Along the way, they get annoyed by British light entertainment of the 1990s, and fantasize about Blake's 7 as directed by Chris Nolan.
