But the Liberator is 'slightly' larger than the London, which probably contains 50 persons - prisoners and crew.
Actually, I think Liberator is huge compared to the London-- so much so that in a later episode, footage from SpaceFall is re-used because someone failed to notice the tiny speck of the London model in the footage. So even if Liberator is "only" five times the size of the London, there are six and then five bio-crewmembers in a ship that could probably hold 250 people.
One of the model builders said in an article that the Liberator is supposed to be a kilometre long (something which apparently does not seem to have got through to some of the people who do "how big are the various sf spacecraft" articles...). -- Julia Jones
Some of the Liberator will be used for things not present on the London - eg the weaponry systems (the London is unlikely to have anything larger than 'inconvenient asteroid/equivalent bashers' for want of a better term) etc.
There are probably going to be more storerooms than the clothing and treasure containing ones. Any suggestions as to what they might contain?
(And would Orac have its own cabin?)
