You know … I have to head into town: to pick up some meds!
And I get the impression I’m going to have to rush today’s post as a result!
As I’ve got to look after my nephew, this afternoon.
Heigh … ho!

I’ve also got to confess … that a friend reminded me of something.
That, as I’m claiming a qualifying benefit, I can claim a bus pass that lets me travel for free.
At least in Essex: and possibly on buses run by Transport for London.
That … ?
That’s useful.
It’s just a shame I got reminded about it … on the day the bus fares went up!

Oh … yesterday was the anniversary of the original airing of “The Way Back”, the first episode of Blake’s Seven.
Following in the footsteps of the Doctor Who — The Collection box sets, the BBC have re-released the first series in a set that includes two copies of each episode: an upscaled version of the episode as broadcast, and one with updated effects.
I watched the updated version: which was interesting to watch.
About my only criticism?
Was with the original scripting of this episode.
Blake is framed for assaulting a minor.
Then, when transported to a prison planet?
Mixed, openly, with other prisoners.
There’s my criticism.
From the little I know of these things, any prisoner accursed of those sorts of crimes would not be mixed with the general run of prisoners.
They’d get seriously assaulted, if not murdered* …
