    OK, well you picked the more obscure one but nevertheless a correct answer. The other was The Nostromo from Alien. Dan O'Bannon wrote Alien and co-wrote Dark Star.

    Well that would explain why I didn't know it.
    I consider Alien(s) more of a horror film than a sci-fi film. I'm not really into horror.

    OK. keeping on a Sci-Fi theme:

    Name the ship from "Blakes Seven" ?

    Can't remember but it should have been called "Spaceship constructed from a tatty old hair drier" because that's what the FX crew used as the framework for the model ship used in the location shots.

    I have a feeling it was called the "Liberator".

    I'd love to see the series again. If Dr Who gets airtime why not Blake?

    Still on sci-fi. Why no try another ship's name?

    What was the name of the time capable ship in Heinlen's "Number of the Beast"?

    What? No takers?

    Aren't there any Heinlen fans out there?

    From memory the ships name was "Gaye Deceiver".

    Ok. Let's go back to Blakes 7.

    What was the name of the little smart-**** computer? (All clear perspex and flashing lights and totally full of itself.)

    For those of you who remember the series, the name of the Liberator's main computer was "Zen". Zen is not the one I'm asking about.

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    Bob,

    At last!!!! Someone who's read it.

    From memory "bounce" had a different meaning to "jump". (20 years dulls the memory.)

    Gay bounce was an instruction to go straight up 20 miles or so, so the three bounces took them 60 miles up when their house exploded.

    The name of the computer in question was Aurac ( or Orac, the spelling was not spelt out )

    Bob your response to the earlier question re Gay looks good enough to me.

    Over to you Bob
