For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Is It an Emu?

Traitor

Series D, Episode 3. First broadcast on Monday, 12 October 1981.

We’re on the planet Helotrix this week, enjoying our successful subjugation of a compliant populace consisting largely of teachers and hairdressers. The occupation is ably enforced by the supremely competent Si and his régime of casually deployed neutron strikes, while Nathan reminisces pompously about past imperial glories, and Pete conducts a surprising clandestine affair with that remarkable new police commissioner Sleer. (And somewhere, in the basement, Simon is devising a galactically effective new kind of roofie.)

Until, of course, our day is ruined by a small band of barely competent outlaws, and then one of us — not sure who, to be honest — turns out to be a traitor.

2:49:22

The Series D Retrospective With a grim air of finality and a total disregard for the attempt to turn this show into a terribly serious Space Opera, we look back over Series D of Blake’s 7 . Kicking off with a single offscreen death and ending with definitively killing off everyone else maybe, we tour a heretofore unexplored part of the Blake’s 7 universe in our clapped-out orange planet hopper. It’s a bold vision of the future where everything is various shades of ocean, military, and gunmetal grey because of George Lucas, and Soolin joins the crew for a reason we should find out any day now. From our new underground base we visit more quarries than ever before, on worlds like Caspar, Domo, Mecron 2, Zerok, Betafarl, some forests on Bucol 2, Xenon, and Gauda Prime, swampy Helotrix, and the studios on Pharos, Virn and Malodar to break up the monotony. Join us as we look back at the time Blake’s 7 was unexpectedly saved from death only to be irrevocably killed again (they really mean it this time) in our Series D Retrospective.…
