Vila is scared. Of course he is. Vila is always scared.
He should feel safe. He is on board the Liberator, the most powerful ship ever constructed. He is home - but he is certainly not alone.
Ghostly figures stalk the corridors of the Liberator. Spectres who know Vila’s name. Revenants. Demons.
And Vila has nowhere to run.
I was so taken when BF started with full cast audios the first season being brilliantly realised.I only missed one episode of the tv show when it was on its original run.What it may have lacked in budget didn’t stop it from being wonderful.This audio realises the potential for this vast ship and its solitude and no one plays scared better than Michael Keating.
I guess it was a major disappointment that Josette didn’t join the crew on their audio adventures no one does cutting put downs better than Josette especially when it comes to Vila.
Tom Chadbons addition to the crew is welcome.
this is a wonderfully eerie addition to the range one of my favourite of the second full cast season

Spooky atmospheric beautifully directed by Lisa Bowerman and a great performance by Michael Keating and the sound designers who make the Liberator almost a threatening presence instead of a welcome retreat and shelter for Vila...Listening to Michael and Paul really does make me realise what a presence both actors are it’s easy to say yes Paul is Blake’s 7 but so is Michael Keating he really is a superb actor.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

He was the heart of the series. For all that Avon is the clear favourite of the show, Vila was the one we all knew we were most like. |

Yes probably though I would like to think if I had to jettison weight related cargo that I would do the decent thing and eject you all from the airlock 😉😜 |

Of the three completed B7 scripts I've written, all three were Vila stories. I like him enormously and I adore Michael Keating's performance as the crewmember I could most easily identify with. Michael was always magnificent on TV and he did great work on the scripts I wrote. So did Paul Darrow. During the writing process, I always watched episodes of B7 and the one I focused on a lot was Orbit. It's probably my favourite episode of the whole run. It gives so much to the characters of Vila and Avon. It's superb.

Orbit is definitely one of the best...I remember first watching and my god I so wanted to cry for Vila so good was his performance in it and Paul’s but by the end it was definitely Vila’s episode..great actors with a good script...👍👍 |
