Really got off on this one. What made it so interesting was the interaction between the characters. The male characters spend the whole time arguing with each other and getting in each faces (quite literally sometimes) while the female characters basically ask rhetorical questions, often just repeating what the male character has just said. The robots come off as the only civilized presence, wandering around like civil servants being so polite! I'm sure there were lots of allusions to Asimov (apart from the commander's name) that I didn't pick up having only read one of Asimov's books. Interesting to see Brian Croucher -- later to turn up as Travis in the second season of Blake's 7  -- as Borg.

Downside was some rather obvious use of models.
