Yes – why is Jenna getting so little to do at this juncture after being set up so prominently in the opening episodes? Fortunately, this was the script which really allowed Paul Darrow to shine as Avon… and he went for it superbly! The sense of time passing is all over the place isn’t it? I remember that bothering me at the time. And you’re certainly getting the same sense of the characters that I was forming at the time… that Blake wasn’t actually massively interesting, and that Avon was the character who would end up stealing the series from him if he wasn’t careful…

Very enjoyable blog! Brings back lots of very happy memories for me!

All the best

Andrew
