Terry Wogan was a big fan apparently – or at least, wanted to know why it was called B7 when there were only five of them and none called Blake.

You can see some confusion in the “Ask Orac” responses, where Orac refers to Avon as ‘his master’ and one of the questioners as ‘sir’. The writers seem to have confused it with Slave. The other noticeable thing is that half the questions (Soolin, clipguns) allow them to repeat details from the series fact sheet wholesale. I think you’ll find the very same details on one of the very first pages of issue one. Look out in future issue for a very strange answer on the origins of the Liberator.

“I skipped a chunk of this once I realised it was referred to a story I hadn’t seen yet”

Honestly, these guys can’t tell Orac from Slave. Don’t trust them not to spoil things. It’s just a day job to them….
