After escaping Sarran, Avon and Dayna arrive on the Liberator where they find some squabbling squatters. A young Blake-alike, Mr Bronson's evil twin and some less-than-crack troopers are acting like they own the place so our two rebels have to act as a castaway couple. Meanwhile Vila develops a split personality and Cally meets a familiar and impat…

Series C kicks off with a Tempest of activity (do you see?). Avon gets two snogs, Dayna loses two loved ones and the Sarrans are too primitive to open a hatch. Will Avon really team up with saucy Servalan to rule the galaxy? Who is the random NPC in the dunes? Is there any justification for shaving horses? And do Jim and Martin think the episode hi…

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 …

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 codpiec…

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?…

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…

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 fee…

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 …

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 a…

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*. [*Delete as appl…

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? Listen to find out! 00:00 Intro an…

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 wo…

This time our heroes and villains duke it out over a weapon of delayed destruction, IMIPAK. It's a case of Chekhov's Induced Molecular Instability Projector and Key but who will get zapped and who will be told when to die? And did Weapon blow Jim and Martin away or was it like a peashooter off a rhino's back? Listen to find out! 00:00 Intro and con…

Blake and crew enter the murky world of the Terra Nostra. Yes, this is Shadow in which Blake is mugged off, Avon is cheesed off and Vila is sucked into a world of hedonism. But did Shadow give Jim and Martin an exhilarating high or a depressing low. Listen to find out! 00:00 Intro and context 05:23 A walkthrough of the episode 56:00 A review of the…

Blake and crew find that twoking doesn't pay when the original owners of the Liberator catch up with them, waving their Space V5 at them. Our heroes fall out with the ship, the Altas fall for Orac's ruse and a gimp falls from a great height. But did Jim and Martin fall in love with Redemption? 00:00 Intro and context 06:31 A walkthrough of the epis…

It's the end of the series and there are a few questions that need answering. Who or what is Orac? Why is Gan such a weirdo? And who knows what mystery illness half the crew are suffering from? [Hint: everyone but them] 00:00 Intro and context 04:38 A walkthrough of the episode 51:01 A review of the episode 1:49:05 Summing up and scores This episod…

Welcome to the Mutoid Podcast. This is a new Blake's 7 podcast from Jim and Martin who made the Krynoid PodCast and it will run along similar lines. For those unfamiliar with the Krynoid PodCast, we walk through the episode of the month in some detail and then review it and each give it a score out of ten. If you want to pick and choose the section…

On the planet Skaro (sorry... Cephlon), Jenna is captured by the Mutos (sorry... Scavengers), Gan puts some heads together and Avon's already flourishing God complex is encouraged by an unlikely acolyte. And if you want a vision of the future, Winston, imagine Norman Stanley Fletcher kneeling on Cally's back for half an episode. 00:00 Intro and con…
