BEWARE OF SPOILERS.


Season 1

3 - Martha Kane

  • Martha poses as Ian Thurso's attorney and bases her performance on the stereotype that lawyers "carry briefcases and act like assholes." And she pulls it off.
  • After the Ravens cut the power to the runway, preventing the NNL's plane from landing, Alfred makes his own runway with fire and a fuel truck.

7 - Julie Christie

  • As hard as it is to watch based on the context, it's nonetheless pretty satisfying to see Thomas beat the ever-loving shit out of Jason Ripper to the point of almost killing him.

8 - Sandie Shaw

  • Bet's Big Damn Heroes moment when she stops Alfred from getting gunned down by Aziz and his goons.
  • Lord Harwood is a fascist and the villain of the show, but goddamn does he get you Rooting for the Empire when he commands the Prime Minister's riot police to stand down.
    Lord Harwood: STOP! Officers of the law! This is England! You will respect our ancient rights and liberties and stop this violence immediately! Stand. Down.

9 - Alma Cogan

  • Within moments of being sent to Newgate Prison, Alfred politely asks who is in charge. Although we don't see what happens, when we next see him, it turns out that he is the one in charge now.
  • Alfred helping Thomas and Martha escape the police by shooting out the engines of at least three police cars with a sniper rifle.

Season 2

  • Bet Sykes normally doesn't take shit from anyone, and yet it's a Defiant Captive who manages to provoke the biggest change in character in her yet, simply by way of You Are Better Than You Think You Are. And wins her heart in the process.
  • Sandra Onslow, singing "We’ll Meet Again" over some rowdy Raven Union soldiers' off-key version of "Rule, Britannia." Eventually, the whole bar joins her.
  • The Bolivian Army Ending, with Alfred and other English League combatants charging at the Raven Union soldiers accompanied by a Stormcloud-empowered Gulliver Troy, who blasts enemies left and right with gas-like death rays.
