Shake And Blake

Ian Wilson and Dave Probert return to waffle their way aimlessly through two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Pressure Point," Blake leads an assault on the Federation's computer control centre on Earth, but one of the crew ends up paying the price for Blake's recklessness. In "Trial," Travis faces a war crimes tribunal that is being manipulated by Servalan, and Blake is trapped on a sentient planet while the crew decides whether or not to abandon him. Plus, how to explain a continuity error through the medium of lesbian porn, which Doctor Who companion would make a rubbish pimp, Dave hurls a variety of genital-based insults at Blake, and Ian becomes distressed by one episode trying to emulate "The Web."

Dave Probert and Ian Wilson return to entertain their listener with their thoughts on two more episodes of Blakes 7. In "Weapon," Blake is lured into a trap laid by Servalan that will give her an ultimate weapon. And in "Horizon," the tired crew of the Liberator tries to find rest on a remote Federation planet, but find more than they bargained for. They also discuss disco Superman villains, get a bit unnecessary over Servalan, and discover a strong new contender for the title of Mr. Awesome.

Rejoice as Ian Wilson and Dave Probert begin the second season of Blake's 7. In "Redemption" the Liberator is attacked and captured by its original creators, and in "Shadow" Blake tries to make a deal with the Terra Nostra criminal organization, amongst other things. They also discuss the merits of kill-sticks, and why everyone in the B7 universe likes their drugs to come in spherical from. Plus, a vile betrayal costs one of them the feedback war, Dave is driven to the brink of exhaustion trying to deliver an episode synopsis, and Ian bows to the pressure of a certain British clergyman.

Dave Probert and Ian Wilson reach the end of the first season of Blake's 7 with "Orac," which sees Blake and Cally trying to save a dying scientist and prevent his creation from falling into the hands of Servalan and Travis. The boys look back at the high and low points of the first season, and Ian puts together all of the statistics they have been collecting so far - which can only mean one thing: new jingle! Plus, a British Vicar uses a number of fake identities to threaten Ian with violence, Dave is forced to sing his own praises, and they both finally agree that "The Web" is a load of old cobblers.

Ian Wilson and Dave Probert tackle two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Bounty," Blake tries to persuade an exiled President to return to his people, and the Liberator is boarded by flamboyantly dressed bounty hunters. In "Deliverance," the crew goes to the aid of a crashed ship, and Avon finds himself worshipped as Lord by a very impressionable woman. Dave rants about appropriate attire for space pirates, and Ian detects a strong similarity between one episode and a recent Doctor Who story. Plus, could gun-kata improve the show? How is Blake's 7 like Touch the Truck? And which supporting character's name becomes a slang term for genitals?

Dave Probert and Ian Wilson return to give their thoughts on two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Project Avalon," Blake meets with another rebel leader, only to find that Travis and Servalan have laid a trap to capture the Liberator. In "Breakdown," Gan's limiter implant malfunctions causing him to turn violent, so the Liberator traverses a dangerous area of space to find medical help on a neutral space station. Meanwhile, Earth-2.net scores an emphatic victory in the feedback war, the boys discuss Gan's blaxploitation potential, and Julian Glover gets cast in an unlikely role.

Ian Wilson fights through his flu to join Dave Probert for two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Mission to Destiny," Avon and Cally hunt a murderer on a sabotaged ship while the Liberator embarks on a mercy mission. And in "Duel," Blake and Travis are forced into a fight to the death by ethereal beings who have clearly watched the Star Trek episode "Arena." They also discuss religions based on The Shawshank Redemption, a Blake's 7 version of The Benny Hill Show, and Ian is greatly disturbed by a picture of a 1970s Doctor Who monster. Which one? You'll have to listen to find out.

Dave and Ian get together again to view two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "The Web," the Liberator is trapped and Blake must chose between the safety of his crew and the genocide of a genetically engineered species. And in "Seek, Locate, Destroy," Blake leads a raid on a Federation cypher post and discovers that an old enemy has been assigned to eliminate him. Also find out who scores the first victory in the feedback war, what the current bracelet count is, and if there will finally be a rendition of the Blake's 7 theme on kazoos.

Ian and Dave return for their second slice of Blake's 7 goodness. In "Cygnus Alpha," Blake travels to a prison planet to recruit a crew member, but finds a religious cult waiting for him. And in "Time Squad," the crew of the Liberator embarks on their first strike against the Federation, and meet a telepathic freedom fighter in the process. Also, the boys kickstart an inter-website feedback war, discuss that destructive power of Brian Blessed's voice, and the Who count gets a snappy new jingle.

Join the British duo of Dave Probert and Ian Wilson as they homage Bigger on the Inside, and begin their journey through British sci-fi show Blake's 7. In "The Way Back" Blake is framed by the Federation for a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to exile.
