Trivia
This story was not the original one that had been planned, which was to have been the first of a two-part story penned by Terry Nation in which both Jenna and Vila would have been killed off. Because of other commitments, Nation was not able to deliver and so Allan Prior was commissioned to write something original instead.

Quotes
Vila: Don't leave me here! At least leave me a torch. I don't like the dark. I like to see what I'm scared of.

5/10

You can see this was rushed.

Blake, Vila and Jenna land on the planet Goth, in search of the one person who knows a very powerful secret, the location of Star One.

Oh dear, this apparently should have been written by Terry Nation, you can tell it wasn't, penned instead by Allan Prior, and I'm sorry to say it, it's not very good. I get the impression that this was rushed through, it somehow feels a little out of place.

Plot holes galore, I am reminded of Dr Who's The Pirate Planet, in tone, and the presence of a loud oafish central figure, namely Gola, and surprise surprise, it's The Captain. Why on Earth is Servalan there, and why doesn't she have any guards with her?

On the plus side, it looks amazing, I love the sets and costumes, some of the makeup is pretty decent it's fair to say.

Sadly it just lacks the sci fi punch, too many old crones and old fools wittering on.

Fortunately the next episode promises a finale of epic proportions.

Sorry to say, I'm not a fan of this one, 5/10.
