We chat about each Blake's 7 episode; what we enjoy, what doesn't quite work, where the influences are, and what cool lines Chris Boucher gave Avon that week!
We've released episodes on four Series C stories in the last 2-3 months, and - whilst we've certainly had some critical points to make here and there - we've found a lot more positives than we expected!
Where do you stand on the first half of Blake's 7's 3rd season?

Enjoying this deep dive whilst pondering what Servelans' babies would actually look like. Such severe haircuts
Yes the Bayben stuff is great!

Thanks Alex!
Some really interesting points and good feedback!
Can totally see how it would land different for you, and yes, this is certainly an episode with a lot of different views and opinions!
Hopefully you enjoyed the chat, though!?
That's a really good point!
But, we would argue that it's not in keeping with the shrewdness and cunning of the character in the past?
I used to question the stupidity of villains, particularly the autocratic or fascistic ones, in classic Who. The past decade has changed my mind on this and I now think that when they are written as stupid it is merely a more accurate portrayal. And Servalan is A+ both wicked and dumb here.

This story I found quite dire and I fully appreciated the effort you two put in to finding some nicer things to say about it!

Or her most foolish?
Or both?!
We discuss on our chat about this episode! Out now!

Another set of "big sci-fi" ideas in this one, but what did we make of it all?
Tune in, and find out!

Is City at the Edge of the World the best episode so far in Blake's 7's third season? Or was the an earlier better episode?
07.01.2026 10:26 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 5 π 0Our episode on City at the Edge of the World is out, including our picks for "Player of the Week"!
Who would you rate as the winner for this episode?
Whilst it's always remembered as "the one with Colin Baker", City at the Edge of the World is first and foremost a Vila episode, and we talk a lot about that as we dive deep into the episode, and especially Boucher's writing of the character.

But hearing you describe how often Avon demonstrates to Tarrant βYour idea is stupid; here is how I, a genius, fix itβ
Suggests Boucher loved writing Avon to personify βThe script editor is the coolest person in the showβ
