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

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?

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?

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?

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!

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?

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]

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.

Gan proves something of a headache for the rest of the crew (and a pain in the neck for Cally in particular) so they're forced to put themselves in the skilled but dangerous hands of a surgeon with ideas above his space station, with less than hilarious results.
