Season Three Episode 10- Ultraworld
(1980) Writer: Trevor Hoyle / Director: Vere Lorrimer
The Liberator crew are forced to investigate a metal planet made by aliens after Cally disappears.
If you were to watch one segment of this episode with the sound turned down you might think it was some bizarre version of The Great British Bake Off. An army of lookalike chefs are loading people onto a conveyer belt that runs into a large oven to help create a giant crusty loaf. Perhaps this image burned itself into the minds of dance group The Orb who in 1989 released an ambient track called ` A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld `. It certainly made the episode more renowned than many. So is `Ultraworld` actually any good if you try to take it seriously?
