My lizard body doesn’t know this “warm blood” of which you speak.
Did you know that you can use blood as a substitute for eggs in most recipes? Turns out that the protein content of blood is pretty similar to egg whites. This is why recipes like blood pancakes exist, although I can’t imagine the flavor being anything the same at all. Although if you’re out there and have given them a try, do please reach out and tell me. It’s In Warm Blood, written by John Collee and aired on August 10th, 1987.

Really enjoying the podcast guys. You will probably be reading this out when you get to Children of the Stones as you seem to be three weeks advanced in recording. I remember watching Star Cops on its first run. It was the first series I ever recorded to VHS. Such a shame that is only 9 episodes and that the BBC hid it in the schedules at the time on BBC2 Mondays at 8.35pm(usually) opposite Terry and June and the 9 o’clock news on BBC1 in the middle of the summer. Never really had a chance. The average viewing figures for the entire series was 1.2 million. The final episode barely got 1 million.
You must do Moonbase 3 at some point.
Are you going to cover the Big Finish Star Cops Mother Earth series too? Please.
Also you must at some point cover V. I mean the five 90 minute tv movies made between 1982 and 84(I think). Here in the UK ITV broadcasted them as 5 episodes at 9pm Monday to Friday during the summer Olympics of 1984. I think they are better known as the mini series and the final battle. I think ITV interrupted the shows for the 10 o’clock news(mind you ITV did that with all movies they screened at 9pm) so it was like nearly midnight before the episode finished. The scene from the end of episode 4 where the reptile creature bursts out of her belly was shocking and very scary at the time for what was for me who was only 9 at the time.
All together now, sing:
Like the ripple of the water sends a message to the shore
So for now and ever after I will miss you more and more
It won’t be easy
No, no
I won’t be easy without you
No, no
I won’t be easy
No, no, no.
Shine a light into the darkness find an answer everyday
How I wish that you were with me now I know that come what may
It won’t be easy
No, no
It won’t be easy without you
No, no
It won’t be easy
No, no, no.
Reach across the stars let them know you’re with me
Reach across the stars send out the word let them know what can be
Send out the word I remember you.
In the shelter of the moonlight in the shadow of the sun
In the silence that’s eternal there’s a blessing one by one
It won’t be easy
No, no
It won’t be easy without you
No, no
It won’t be easy
No, no, no.
You can thank me later. No, I changed my mind you can thank me now. You are welcome.
Lastly(you must be getting sick of me posting multiple comments, sorry) I remember that on the broadcast of the final episode at the time that after the episode ended there was a trailer for a brand new up coming sci-fi comedy sitcom coming in two weeks which would have been sometime around mid September 1987. Something called Red Dwarf. It wasn’t broadcasted at that time though. It wouldn’t be until February of the following year. Maybes they had the 1st episode already in the can and there was some technical problem or strike that prevented the rest of the series and so they decided to delay it. I don’t know, this was after all 32 years ago and I no longer have those VHS tapes sadly.
My last message, I promise at least for today. I agree with what you guys said about the length of time that is skipped in the first episode. In Warm Blood for example the episode must cover at least a month in terms of travelling. I mean it must take 3 days for the moon shuttle Nathan is on to get to the space lab and he travels there at least twice. Devis’ trip must take 3 days, as does Nathan’s when he visits Richard Ho in the sauna. Unless they have discovered a way to travel faster in this future?
Thanks guys.
