Episode 11

Bounty

By Terry Nation

Blake and Jenna teleport down to an ancient mansion guarded by the Federation looking for Sarkoff, former president of the planet Lindor. Blake wants to persuade him to return to Lindor and re-unite his people before the Federation sends in a "peace keeping force".

Meanwhile the Liberator has been taken over by Amagon pirates who plan to sell it and the rest of the captured crew to the Federation for a huge profit.

Sarkoff and his daughter Tyce agree to return to Lindor so Blake and Jenna plot a daring escape out of the clutches of the Federation garrison guarding Sarkoff. Unfortunately things don't go to plan as the four of them are also captured by the Amagon pirates as they board the Liberator.

...............................

Quite a strange anacronistic episode opening depicting Federation guards patrolling the woods surrounding a medieval fortress, with vintage roadsters trundling along country roads. The story is quite action packed with combat scenes aplenty.

Veteran actor TP Mckenna stars as Sarkoff and his daughter Tyce is played by the lovely Carinthia West, both add extra flourishes to the story.

The story starts to flag a little during the second half and the introduction of the space pirates, all of whom look like they were extras in Lawrence of Arabia, however it never becomes boring but can't compete with the opening half hour.
