At the base, a technician named Coser, together with a slave girl called Rashel, has escaped after stealing his own new invention - a revolutionary weapon known as Imipak. At Federation headquarters, Servalan and a psycho-strategist named Carnell have employed an alien race known as the Clonemasters to make a duplicate of Blake, as part of a plan to seize control of Imipak. After Travis locates Coser s location, they programme the duplicate Blake and then journey there;  Blake then makes contact with Coser, who, just as Carnell predicted, is too insane to question the sudden and unlikely appearance of his hero. Coser gives Imipak to  Blake , and demonstrates the weapon s capabilities: the victim is  marked with an initial shot, and then a remote-control device is used to destroy the victim whenever the assassin desires, from any distance.  Blake hands the weapon over to Servalan, who tests it by killing Coser. The real Blake then arrives, and together with Avon and Gan, they enter the complex, only to be  marked by Travis using Imipak. However, Rashel manages to gain control of Imipak, and she  marks Servalan and Travis as well. The cloned Blake breaks his conditioning, and he and Rashel force Servalan and Travis to leave under threat of death, while Carnel, fearing Servalan s wrath at his failure, decides to desert. <BR><BR> Gareth Thomas (<B>Blake</B>), Sally Knyvette (<B>Jenna</B>), Michael Keating (<B>Vila</B>), Paul Darrow (<B>Avon</B>), David Jackson (<B>Gan</B>), Jan Chappell (<B>Cally</B>), Peter Tuddenham (<B>Zen / Orac</B>), Jacqueline Pearce (<B>Servalan</B>), Brian Croucher (<B>Travis</B>), Kathleen Byron (<B>Fen</B>), John Bennett (<B>Coser</B>), Candace Glendenning (<B>Rashel</B>), Scott Fredericks (<B>Carnell</B>), Graham Simpson (<B>The Officer</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by George Spenton-Foster <BR>Produced by David Maloney</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR> 23rd January, 1979 @ 7.15 pm - 8.10 pm <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Roj Blake, Kerr Avon, Jenna Stannis, Vila Restal, Olag Gan, Cally, Zen and Orac <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
