Once I had seen it on vhs, it was one of those episodes that I rarely returned to, even though it has a few memorable moments. Notably Travis and "THE WORD!!!!" Poor old Vila.

Other than that, it, along with KILLER is one of the very few that I need to have a refreshed viewing of, which I will do before updating this post accordingly. From here on in though I am very familiar with all the remaining episodes.

THE WORD! THE WORD! THE WORD! THE WORD! THE WORD! TELEPORT..I said teleport has to be the funniest lines as written for Croucher and Vila in the entire series! With Vila telling Travis he's not going to tell them despite Travis aiming his laseron blaster at the thief's head!

Poor Vila, lol. Not that he didn’t deserve it for falling asleep on the job.

Strange when you think that the part of Ushton, Blake's old uncle was originally going to be played by Mick McGahey lookalike Duncan Lamont, who sadly died during production and the role had to be swiftly recast!
