Newly self-appointed leader, Tarrant, is powerless to stop the Liberator and crew from being sucked into a black hole. Therein they find a place which could be none more black, inhabited by a regency fop, a wild west bank clerk and a wee man with cranial varicose veins. When will Avon teleport Tarrant into deep space? When it comes to equations, who is the sharpest graphite writing stick in the box? Will Cally swipe left (or burst out laughing) when she sees the Thaarn? And will Jim and Martin place the episode up among the gods or will it dawn on them that it's a black hole of quality?

29: Volcano
Newbies Tarrant and Dayna are on a mission on behalf of their crew to find someone that only they have never met. And to maybe find a suitable place to settle down and electroshock kids. However, Servalan and Not-Travis have other plans, which involve a posh tramp, a dead dog and a parsnip with a face. Is it medieval re-enactment week on the Liberator? Does Michael Gough have smelly hands? What is the secret of the Yorkshire Moors mincers? And did Volcano light a fire inside Jim and Martin or is their love for the episode extinct?

28: Powerplay
After escaping Sarran, Avon and Dayna arrive on the Liberator where they find some squabbling squatters. A young Blake-alike, Mr Bronson's evil twin and some less-than-crack troopers are acting like they own the place so our two rebels have to act as a castaway couple. Meanwhile Vila develops a split personality and Cally meets a familiar and impatient in-patient. Will the Terran Federation trespassers find out the truth about Mr & Mrs Chevron? Which of Vila's organs will the Chengans discard? Is Steven Toast one of Tarrant's ancestors? And were Jim and Martin in Powerplay's power or did it choke the life out of them? Listen to find out!

27: Aftermath
Series C kicks off with a Tempest of activity (do you see?). Avon gets two snogs, Dayna loses two loved ones and the Sarrans are too primitive to open a hatch. Will Avon really team up with saucy Servalan to rule the galaxy? Who is the random NPC in the dunes? Is there any justification for shaving horses? And do Jim and Martin think the episode hits the mark like Dayna with an arrow, or kicks the bucket like Mike Yates and a Terileptil? Listen to find out (some of the above)!

26: Star One
We finally reach the denouement of Series B but who will get out alive? That keenest of self-promoters, Servalan, is in a flap as her previously moist parts are dry and her melons are freezing. Something's up at Star One where the technicians are more cabbage than kings and the neighbourhood is about to go down the (toilet) pan. Can Blake convince the enemy that he's Travis? Can Brian Croucher convince us that Travis is remotely interested in Blake's death? And can Avon and co hold off the advancing fleet of Space car boot sale leftovers? And do Jim and Martin think the episode is a worthy end to the series or is it more whimper than bang? Listen to find out!
