The title card for a Blake's 7 episode called "Rumours of Death", written by Keir Starmer.
A federation official wearing a watchman — a small handheld player attached to VR goggles. Lights are flashing, and according to the caption he is doing some space grooving.
Dayna, Avon and Vila are sitting in the gently rocking cockpit of a flyer. Vila says: "Sooner or later we're going to drop into one of these holes in the ground and never come out."
A very still Avon gives a sudden tight-lipped grin.
Tarrant is on Scorpio's flight deck. There are a lot of explosions and things falling from the ceiling, and, alarmingly, his console appears to be rolling round the floor. Flashing text at the bottom of the image reassures us with the words THIS IS FINE.
Servalan stands on the flight deck of a spaceship, wearing an uncharacteristically simple black dress. "Really?" she says with visible scepticism.
Egrorian, a fat, bald and very unattractive man, falls at the feet of Servalan, who is wearing a glamorous black dress which exposes a reasonable amount of sideboob. "Servalan", he says, "my steel queen! my empress!"
Keeler, Tarrant, Soolin and Dayna are pushing a trolley down a corridor into an airlock. But what we mostly see is their bums jiggling up and down.
Avon angrily taps Orac's side and says "COME ON! That's a simple enough question."
Blake's 7's Vila incredulously asks "What?!". GIF from maximumpowerpodcast.com
It's a man in a spangly lime-green biker's outfit with a big gun. He has a lot of hair, a fat nylon mohawk, and has clearly been drawing on his face with a sharpie. He's pointing the gun at someone — he says "It goes bang, and you go splat". Michael and Josette look at him, unable to work out how to react.
It's Commissioner Sleer, oh, okay, Servalan wearing dark eye makeup and an astonishing outfit made of black feathers. Behind her is a young man with a high forehead, who is stroking her shoulder as if she owes him something. "Anything is possible," she says.
