Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Blood is thicker than water, they say, and Tarrant gets the chance to find out as his big brother goes to war.

Vila swigs, Avon snogs, Dayna sneers and Del Boy gets to walk in Deeta's shiny shoes as the galaxy watches.

Does Cliff Jones still have some green death on his hand? 

What is that on Deeta's head and would it like a saucer of milk?

How many pan-galactic gargle blasters would it take for Dayna to fancy Vila?

And did Jim and Martin achieve the ultimate thrill with Death-Watch or did they take one for the team?

It's "toxic masculinity ahoy!" this time as our intrepid outlaws fetch up on the planet of 1970s blokes.

Ben Steed inflicts upon us another misogynistic smorgasbord in which a bunch of unreconstructed males terrorise the winsome women of Sardos.

But who is the real power behind the organisation?

Why does he look like that (budget considerations aside)?

Is Vila the worst of all Servalan's right-hand-men (Jarriere aside)?

And did Moloch leave Jim and Martin Reformed or with a bad taste in their mouths?

But don't play this...

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 impatient in-patient.

Will the Terran Federation trespassers find out the truth about Mr & Mrs Chevron?

Which of Vila's organs will the Chengans discard?

Is Steven Toast one of Tarrant's ancestors?

And were Jim and Martin in Powerplay's power or did it choke the life out of them?

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 hits the mark like Dayna with an arrow, or kicks the bucket like Mike Yates and a Terileptil?

Listen to find out (some of the above)!

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?

As mentioned in the episode, the play-out song is the Blake's 7 themed Intergalactic Space Crusaders by Star One, from their 2002 album Space Metal.

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?
