Season Three Episode 11- Moloch
(1980) Writer: Ben Steed / Director: Vere Lorrimer
The Liberator follows Servalan beyond the edge of Federation space where they discover a planet with a secret.
Of course it’s not as exciting as it sounds. The secret at first appears to be that they’ve invented a cabinet but it turns out the planet, Sardos, is run by a super computer that can copy anything including living matter. A rogue bunch of Federation troops have commandeered the whole place and subdued its inhabitants. It’s difficult to know where to start with an episode which is by turns dull or embarrassing and lacks even the unintentional amusement that `Ultraworld` and its giant loaf provided. This is played strictly seriously and that makes it worse.
