| I love the way a recent article in the Guardian about science fiction on British TV just *happened* to use an image from this episode featuring whip-wielding dominatrices to exemplify the series Space 1999. |

| That’s only fair, because you’re not in fact safe. |
The awesome Jean Bardot.

| Aww… look at that little pout. Isn’t she sweet when she’s cross? Better do what the little woman says, hmmm? Just to humour her, you know. You can assert yourself later, I expect. |

| If you want a picture of the future, imagine a sweaty trainer stamping on a human face — forever*. |

| I do. |
*Test time! What is the slightly garbled literary reference? Hmm? Anyone? You! You at the back – hands out of your pockets, boy! – what’s the answer?
Miss, Miss! 1984, Miss!
Teacher's pet!
George Orwell, Miss, he wrote that.
Very good, Nope – if that's your real name. You can clean teacher's shoes as a reward.
Little Miss Atkins, you were later but I will award a merit for adding the name of the author (you would have had two, had you mentioned his real name – no, don't even try, it's too late now). You are therefore rewarded with not being punished.
Everyone else – detention!
Yes recognised it as George Orwell immediately. Loved the Space 1999 pic and recognised it immediately. Star Maidens is worth a look where males are escaping a Gynarchy to Earth. Forgot it had Blake from Blakes 7 in it. He went on to be tortured by Servilan. Me thinks he chooses his scripts and shows carefully.

Yeah, Servalan was wonderful. A proper domme. Did you know that Farscape had essentially a Servalan clone in it? In one episode she even makes someone lick her boot. Got a link dubbed into French here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=megM303CJEk
