I found the Tony Attwood programme guide and the three Trevor Hoyle novels there. (The novels BTW are based on scripts, written before casting was done - Vila was small dark and ugly, Avon had pale eyes and a high forehead, Dorian had long black hair.) You can search Z-shops from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk and I believe you can still find the books I bought. The Hoyle books are based on screened episodes, but they do have the occasional cut scene (e.g. the toast scene between Vila and Soolin, where Soolin said she comes from a planet other than GP). I have not yet found 'Afterlife', but wouldn't mind checking it out for completion. Oh BTW there's another programme guide called something like 'Blakes 7 - a critical analysis' by someone other than Attwood, can't remember who, but it's terrible - full of mistakes, and not at all well-written.

Tony Attwood

I was incredibly surprised to go to abebooks.com and find NOT ONE copy of Afterlife. (And we're talking an association of 8800 used book dealers!) I can only assume that everyone who ever had a copy burned it.... <g>

OT: PC horrors
by Una Mccormack 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

The crashing PC seems to have been endemic in recent weeks - my own PC fell over (not with a bang, with a whimper) at the end of November. I finally have a PC (not my PC) up and running again. I've picked up all my email since that date, but the contents of my inbox before that date are currently languishing on a hard drive to which I have no access and for which I have increasingly forlorn hopes. If you've emailed me and I haven't answered, a big sorry, and do send the email again. What a drag. Still, it was interesting chipping bits of my thesis onto stone. Una

Blake to all: Season's greetings and a happy new year. Here's wishing for peace, freedom, and justice for all except the convicted felons in the crew. Blake. Avon to all: I fail to see why I should send any of you greetings when I see you on the flight deck every day. Avon. Avon to Blake: I'm not stupid, I'm not sozzled, I'm not sentimental, and I'm not going to your pointless party. Avon. Avon to Vila: It is *not* the thought that counts, Vila, especially not in your case. I expect my present to be expensive, tasteful, unused, and purchased retail, not from your latest dubious haul. Avon. Avon to Santa: I didn't get the scooter I wanted as a child, nor the 500,000 credits I asked for last year, and I bet you don't give me the Liberator this year. Have you betrayed me, Santa? Oh, you can run, but you cannot hide. Avon. Vila to all: Christmas is coming, the still is running hot. An *extremely* merry Christmas to all of you, and a very very very happy new year. Vila. At least that's what the nametag on my cabin door says. Vila to Cally: Happy Christmas, Cally! I've got the perfect present for you this year, nicely wrapped too. And human tradition says you have to be grateful and accept me with pleasure! Vila. Cally to all: A happy Masschrist and a merry old yearly Hanukkah. Have I got that right? Or, as my people say, may all your thoughts be pleasant ones, and if not, may you cry alone and silently. Cally. Cally to Vila: The SPCA recommends that pets not be given as presents, Vila, as so many are abandoned when they grow out of the cute stage. Cally. Gan to all: Thank you to a great team. I'd give everything I have for you all. Gan. Jenna to all: Best wishes to all except the person who put mistletoe over the pilot's station. You know who you are, Vila. Jenna.

When the Christmas fairy shimmered into being on the Scorpio's flight deck, Avon's first thought was that the Federation had developed a teleport. His second was that Servalan had outdone herself in pink gauze with iridescent translucent wings. His third was that Vila had slipped something hallucinogenic into Dorian's wine. "Oh, dear," said the Christmas fairy, "five of you. I've only got three wishes." Four faces looked highly suspicious, but Vila leapt forward eagerly. "I wish I lived on a peaceful planet by the sea and had lots of kids," he said rapidly, not really expecting anything to happen. In a flash he was on Kaarn, reeling from the noise of 5000 Auron babies, about half of them crying, and the assault of 5000 chaotic baby thoughts. Dr Franton and Patar looked frazzled. "Vila!" cried Dr Franton in delight. "How lovely of you to drop in. Several hundred children need changing right now." "Oh, shit!" Vila said accurately. "I wish I was back on the Scorpio!" He was. The fairy was backed up against the wall by Avon at his most intimidating. "What have you done with Vila?" he demanded. He knew what he would ask for - to be so rich no-one could touch him - but he had no intention of charging in where fools had not feared to tread until he had more data. Behind him, Tarrant smiled happily, dreaming of command of the best ship in the galaxy, and Soolin (who wanted to be a notorious Terra Nostra hit-girl) and Dayna (who wanted to blow up the biggest thing in existence) surreptitiously felt for their guns to take out the rest of the crew. "He's back - look for yourself." Avon whirled to see a very disoriented-looking Vila. "Um, who would like the last wish?" the fairy ventured nervously. "The last wish?" Avon's eyes narrowed. "You promised three." "Vila used the second one to get back here." The rest of the crew said as one, "Vila!" and advanced threateningly on the hapless thief, who backed into Slave, thinking that asking to come back was possibly the biggest mistake of his life. "Oh, I wish none of this had ever happened," he muttered miserably. Everyone found themselves glaring at Vila, obscurely angry with him, and Vila stared back, wondering why he felt so guilty. "Um, glass of wine, anyone?" Nico *** This e-mail is privileged and confidential. If you are not the intended recipient please delete the message and notify the sender. ***

a Christmas game
by Sally Manton 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

S'very quiet at the minute, isn't it? Are we all out suffering the Annual Christmas Shopping Torture, or just too full of the spirit of peace and goodwill and all that to think about doom'n'gloom? Anyway, here's a little game, in honour of the season. You're the BBC Christmas Fairy (goodness knows what you look like, probably Frankie Howerd and/or Julian Clary, but leave that for now). You have three - and *only* three - wishes to give out among Our Heroes. No budgetary or plausibility limits, but stuff they actually ended up with is out (so don't give Avon the Liberator, we already *know* what he did with it). Who would you give the wishes to, and what would they be? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
