Episode 3: Disintegrated by Technobabble (Cygnus Alpha)

Now we see the true danger of technobabble.

We’re continuing along our journey, although perhaps The Doctor has buggered with the show a bit, both our show and Blake’s 7 itself. It appears we have a bit of a timeline discontinuity that somebody didn’t notice in the production room. It’s Cygnus Alpha, written by Terry Nation and aired on January 16, 1978.


Show-notes:


4:10 Strangely I couldn’t find anything, but here’s this forum thread where some people tried to create a full timeline of Blake’s 7 episodes and audios/other expanded material.
5:53 The more you know. There are actually debates about this, so don’t take this as the only explanation out there.
21:18 Wow, I always thought this was based on Hunchback of Notre Dame. Guess it’s not.

43: Never Take Advice From an Oceanographer (Fury from the Deep)

On the other hand, I hear they get pretty deep.

Fury from the Deep was so bad that after Kiyan and Dylan talked about it for an hour the podcast episode refused to save properly and allow them to spread this knowledge to the world. And yet here’s the episode, rerecorded and reconstructed in all it’s glory. The serial was written by Victor Pemberton and aired in March and April of 1968. Oh yeah, and Victoria leaves. Spoiler.
