If Orac had been given the choice in the so-named episode would it have preferred to go with Servalan or with Blake? Orac shows enough

As it turned out, the choice was between the person who murdered Ensor Jr and then Ensor Sr, and the people who tried to save both men. Orac's protestations of non-emotion always struck me as being about as plausible as Avon's. If Servalan ever does get her hands on the fishtank, she'd better be damned careful.
She's right. That is a very insightful answer. Funny that.
