45: Headhunter
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
In this thrilling instalment, Avon's after another expert but matters come to a head. Slave turns adolescent, Orac turns creepy and it turns out sallow cyberneticist, Muller, is not all he seems. Our intrepid team need fresh air and wellies as they indulge in some al fresco android annihilation. Exactly how dead is Muller? Will the BBC leave our bridges alone? Will Vila leave the Oxo Mum alone? And were Jim and Martin in the right head space for this episode or did it do their nuts in? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found...

44: Animals
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
It's time for Dayna to rekindle an old (and somewhat Nabokovian) romance on the leafy orb that is Bucol 2. Our very own Lolita finds her ancient flame (the mononymed meddler, Justin) and he lets her stroke his hairy beast. Meanwhile Sleervalan is still plodding on with her pointless new identity and offing all those who dead-name her. But how many registers is Justin on? Is there really much of a market for bear porn? Or self-exploding screens, come to that? Do cartoon paint splats leave a bruise? And did Jim and Martin roar with delight at Animals or did the episode scuttle off...

43: Stardrive
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
After some ill-advised joy-riding from Avon, the Scorpio is in dire need of an overhaul. Luckily, some psychopathic clowns fly by and show the crew their assets, leading to a trap, a fight and a heist. But why's Avon's heart even stonier than usual? Is there a maximum IQ entry requirement for the Space Prats? Are lizards better eaten live or deep fried in engine oil? And did the episode fill Jim and Martin with the need for speed or did it career off into a ditch? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found at , , , , , and all other pod apps (as far...

42: Traitor
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
It was (nearly) called a land fit for Helots. Mudskippers, more like. But it's a place that's much in demand, with a puppet leader about to be installed and a sinister snooker player hoping to replace him. Even the mysterious and strangely familiar Commissioner Sleer is taking an interest... But what does Dayna wear in bed? Why was Travis's eyepatch never blinged? Can cake decorations really save the Helots? And did the episode call Jim and Martin to arms or did it face-plant straight into the mud? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found...

41: Power
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
Our heroes are just a door away from Scorpio and escape from Xenon. But even Vila can't open it without Avon and he's just got himself embroiled into a war of the sexes. Meanwhile, Tarrant keeps his neck braced and Dayna gets so frustrated by the obdurate Orac that she simply has to punch someone. Will our heroes ever open that bloomin' door? Has Avon got a kinky pain thing going on? Will David Daker ever be set free? And did Jim and Martin find Ben Steed's swan song powerful or was it just weak sauce? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found...

40: Rescue
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
Our heroes are back... albeit in reduced circumstances. Stranded on Terminal with only Links, gobby snakes and an exploding escape vessel for company, Avon et al look to be up a certain creek with no means of propulsion... until a rescuer arrives. But who is the mysterious Dorian? What sort of kinky relationship does he have with his flight computer? Why is there an old BBC costume in his basement? And did the season opener rescue Jim and Martin from post-Liberator ennui or would they rather have gone down with the ship? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found...

39: Terminal
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
This is the end, beautiful friend. Or is it...? Avon is even more anti-social than usual, Tarrant and Cally attract more monkeys than a Kubrick monolith and Zen's looking more than a little mouldy. Will Avon ever spill the beans? Will the Liberator make it to the end of the episode? Can the continuity announcer save the show? And did Jim and Martin enjoy the season finale or were they Terminally bored? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found at , , , , , and all other pod apps (as far as we know).

38: Death-Watch
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
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? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found...

37: Moloch
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
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? Listen to find out! But don't play this... This episode can also be found...

36: Ultraworld
Blake's 7: The Mutoid Podcast
Core blimey! Avon loves computers but enough to run around inside one? For this is Ultraworld - every technophobe's nightmare. Menaced by both the bald and the elderly, our heroes must perambulate through a PC to save calamitous Cally and a particularly sweaty Avon, while hoping they don't mix up their minds. After all, Avon's personality in Cally's body doesn't bear thinking about. Is this the worst ever Blue Man Group gig? Why is Dayna dentally dangerous? Which Christmas crackers does Vila buy (and how can you avoid them)? And did Ultraworld blow Jim and Martin's minds or leave them brain...
info_outlineServalan's feeling broody so everyone else must suffer for her little children.
Wiping out Cally's race is, of course, a small price to pay for these fascist foetuses and, call it nesting instinct if you like, she also has her eyes on the Liberator.
But she reckons without uncommunicative Aurons, subordinate infighting and Orac the apothecary.
But what the heck is Michael Troughton wearing and why?
Can Servalan's dress tell the future?
Who filled the Liberator flight-deck with nitrous oxide?
And did Jim and Martin feel paternal towards the episode or was it like babysitting the Bash Street Kids?
