"Countdown" Vere Lorrimer Terry Nation 6 March 1979 6.9 (72)
Blake arrives at the planet Albion to capture Space Major Provine
who is supposed to know the secret location of the moved Federation
Control. Provine however, has triggered an inescapable radiation
bomb in response to a planetary revolt against Federation rule.
Avon, with the help of a mercenary acquaintance of his, Del Grant,
rush to disable the bomb, which is hidden in a bunker somewhere at
one of the frigid poles. Grant however, still holds a grudge
against Avon for the death of his sister Anna, and they must put
the issue aside if they are to stop the bomb in time. Meanwhile,
Blake learns Provine is still alive, but doesn't realise he's
disguised as a resistance soldier and trying to make his way to an
escape ship.
