The other one, which isn't quite so bad, is the end of Death Watch.
Volcano has my fave Avon-Vila scene, when they're alone on the ship and it becomes clear that without anyone else to impress or act for, (a) Vila isn't remotely intimidated by Avon and (b) Avon doesn't snipe at or patronise Vila. That struck me as a real insight, and I also like the bit at the start when it becomes clear how much looking for Blake they've been doing and how despondent Avon is getting about it. There's also Cally, groping for the telepath equivalent of LISTEN, YOU CLOTH-EARED PRATS!!!
