Avon takes a pro-active stance by investigating the burgeoning reach of the Federation's ability to colonize planets that use to have a reputation for resistance.  Pylene-50 is the method used to pacifiy the citizens.  The return of Servalan, the Scorpio crew on offensive and some good villainy are all in this Robert Holmes script.

Straight Outta the Federation talked Sarcophagus, a Blake's 7 epiosde written by highly thought of prolific writer, Tanith Lee, who really brought out the suspense, layers and thematic ideas of Blake's 7 to the forefront of the show.  Returning director, Fiona Cumming, brought the script to life with some stellar performances by the cast and explosive ideas manifested from the script.  

We did get some cool audio responses to the episode by @MrsSimonTemplar (Hannah Cooper) on X, @TPreacher711 Blake's 7 Gaming, @andreworton, and Amanda DH @AmandaDH15

Roger Parkes writes a cracking episode where Jacqueline Pearce delivers another great villanious performance, with a treacherous plot that A.J. would dare say is Servalan's most ruthless plot yet. The Blake's 7 gang displays a clumsy competence while Callie gets a little bit more to do story wise.  Let us know your thoughts about the episode at prydonian.post@gmail.com
