![]() Ok, so Bob’s dead. Crushed by Dr Satan’s mechanical room. Get over it. Be grateful we’ve now got a hero we can post. Dr Satan is in mid-gloat when a lackey pops his head round the corner to say the police are here.
Dr Satan runs off to hide his private papers. The Copperhead meanwhile looks at his impending death with a firm, determined expression on his tatty face.
He’d have to do something pretty outrageous to get out of this one. Attempting to bribe a passer by is not nearly enough.
Ok, using the cigarette case as a mirror and firing at the reflected target is quite clever. Who said smoking was bad for you?
The wall has stopped moving. Not something easily spotted in a still photo.
A suspicious looking cove tries to unlock a safe. He hears footsteps.
Why look – it’s the police bumbling through a door they thought was locked but wasn’t.
Bob takes off his mask and looks for a way out. He’s very nimble. Maybe that could be his super power – being very nimble.
Bob knocks three times on the ceiling. Speed doesn’t join in with the song because it hasn’t been written yet. He’s pleased to have almost found his friend though.
Speed activates the trap door control. Given where Bob was I imagine he got smacked in the face pretty hard by it. Which might affect his nimbleness.
"How did you get down there?" asks Speed. "I’ll explain that later" replies Bob. Yes – how do you fall through a trap door? I hope Bob explains because I can’t work it out.
Dr Satan gets the bad news that his confidential records are still in the safe. Dr Satan’s companions are appalled.
Rather than, you know, try and stop them or anything, Dr Satan switches on his Bob-O-Vision and watches Bob attempt to break open the safe.
A ROBOT~!
How can Bob possibly save Speed?
That was lucky.
The robot finds itself in the little room. The panel on the front where a mouth would be if it was a person and not a ROBOT~! flaps open and makes it look as if the robot is swearing angrily.
Bob and Speed find a secret passage.
But men are waiting for them. Do you think…? Might we see…? Is it possible that…?
A fight breaks out.
Meanwhile, the robot is going stir crazy.
Bob wins.
Down in the tunnel, the robot creeps up on Bob.
There is nowhere to go – the tunnel is blocked by something we can’t make out because it’s too dark. Bob is going to die and not even have the decency to wait until the end of the episode to do so.
Bob climbs up a ladder. The robot grips the rungs. I hope he tries to climb it. That would be solid gold entertainment.
But alas no – the robot is trying to tear the ladder to pieces. There is no comedy to see here. Move along.
Although, when the rung he’s pulling at breaks…
Speed and the cops arrive too late to do any good.
Bob tells them to fish the robot out of the water and take it back to the lab. Upstairs, they go through Dr Satan’s private records. I expect it’ll get quite bitchy – going through personal correspondence usually does.
A CLUE~!
Professor Williams only happens to be the man the government hired to find a way to counteract Doctor Satan. He’s like Doctor God.
A plane.
This man can’t get through to flight 7. Which is a shame as his job is to contact flight 7. He is superfluous. His life is worthless.
It turns out Doctor Satan has a control device on board the plane. He is able to watch it on the Bob-O-Vision and bring it down as and where he pleases. And it’s all thanks to agent Z-10. Whoever that may be. This question can safely be made the subject of speculation as it is of no consequence. Or whatever the line in Hitch Hiker’s said.
The plane is taken over. The pilot and his uniformed friend are appalled.
Meanwhile, Bob and Speed are listening to the aeroplane on the radio. Neither seems to have noticed the panic in the pilot’s voice.
Bob tells speed to drive to his hanger. Bob has his own plane. A white one, like the Lone Ranger’s horse. Probably.
The plane is heading for somewhere which sounds like "Superstition Peaks" which I thought meant the number of people wearing lucky shirts before an England match.
Here comes Bob. Just generally.
The two planes dance a merry dance.
Look at Bob’s tail light (the tiny white blob) – he’s using it to send a Morse code message to the pilot.
They fetch Professor Williams. The three of them look like they’re peering through a peep hole in the changing room wall.
Williams finds the control device but it blows up in his face.
The pilot is delighted to have control of his plane even at the cost of a man’s eyesight. I suppose he has a point – it wasn’t his eyes that were burnt to cinders so why should he care?
Bob watches as the other plane pulls up and narrowly misses the Superstition Peaks. You’re probably ahead of the action here. If they’ve pulled up and narrowly missed…
…then Bob’s about to crash into the mountains.
How close? This close.
Bang. Bob dies and does so like Mister Bean. Die with dignity next time, Bob.
It’s almost as if they don’t want people to buy a ticket for next week’s instalment.
