Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!

The first Robert Holmes script for Blake's 7, and Garry and Adam both agree it has a noticeably different tone to what the show has been doing. Robert Holmes's fingerprints are all over it, and that, concerning this episode, is a good thing.

The big talking points: why the Avon and Vila pairing works so well here, what Tynus's betrayal says about the kind of company Avon keeps, and whether Blake's inexplicable calm in enemy territory is great character writing or just a quirk of the production order.

Plus: outfits that not even Paul Darrow can carry off, Gan's ghost in the production timeline, and Garry very nearly ordering the Blake's 7 DVD set after a couple of Guinness.
