He tells the truth sometimes as well, that is also fact (in fact, as with Avon, it's a fun exercise teasing out truth from fiction in his words). The theory is that *this* time he's simply lying, since there's no proof on-screen either way. As I said, I do think it's exaggerated at the very least, but Vila-as-Delta doesn't fit my view of how the system might work. So I'm prepared to give him the benefit of some doubt. Then again, it's all a bit vague and muddled anyway (concrete evidence isn't B7-ish). Strictly speaking, the only character whose grade is certain is Coser in 'Weapon' - even Blake's Alpha grade (which I agree with) is only given by - ironically - Vila. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

No. It's a fact. Vila lies. Haven't you watched "The Way Back"? <g> albeit simpler (but of > >course some of us prefer the complicated stuff). Remember though, "a pro keeps it simple", something that Avon would recognise and appreciate.

re: Paypal (OT)

After several phone calls, my Paypal problem was solved. The Email help line was useless. I still will never use Paypal (my account is closed) nor will I ever encourage anyone else to, but I did want to set the record straight that my problem has been solved. If anyone ever owns me money, do not use Paypal for me. It will not work and you will have a hassle getting your money back. If anyone ever owes anyone money, be advised that you cannot pay them unless they are members of Paypal and that there are money limits per month (it depends on the account and other factors) with what one can do with accounts.

The next generation
by Minnie 27 Apr '01

27 Apr '01

Howdy I just thought I would write to you all and let you know (whether you are interested or not because I like to share <G>) That my goldfish Blake and Servalan have had babies. (is that a scary combination or what!!!!!) Ironically they had 6 babies and I will be interested to see how many of them survive <G> Just thought I would do the grandma thing and pass this info on. It also gave me an idea for my webpage, which is currently in the works and not on my site yet, of doing a series of next Gen images of what the offspring of various B7 couples might look like, starting with Blake and Servalan. <VBEG> Let me know what you think of the idea. Cheers. Min.xxx

Ebay Chris Boucher "Weapon" script
by JEB31538＠cs.com 27 Apr '01

27 Apr '01

Ebay Chris Boucher "Weapon" script Chris Boucher is selling a 1978 original photostat script of "Weapon." He says he will autogragh it if the buyer wishes it autographed. I suspect this means you can get it personalized if you want. The item number is 1138942956 and there is an unknown reserve price on it so I suspect that Boucher wants, at least, fifty pounds or more for it. I frankly now can't remember what the other scripts of his went for on Ebay. I'm almost tempted to bid on this myself, but won't. "Weapon" is one of my favorite shows. Three Blakes for the price of one. Here's a chance to get something nice if you're a Chris Boucher fan, if you're a collector of scripts, or if you like to have original B7 items. I believe there's more than a week of bidding on this item. *** Also on Ebay and almost gone is an original B7 costume. A female guard jacket from "Terminal." That's nothing that would appeal to me. But if you like costumes, you might check this out. But hurry. There's little time left. Now having a nice white or brown Blake shirt is something that I would personally want. Or that gorgeous Blake watermelon sleeve jacket and big wide belt to go with it. Those would be costume items I would bid on if they ever reached Ebay or other auctions or sales. Check out Blake's 7 and Blakes 7. Go to both http://www.ebay.com/ and http://www.ebay.co.uk/ Joyce

SF:UK
by Harriet Bazley 27 Apr '01

27 Apr '01

At the end of last week's edition of SF:UK, it was announced that this Saturday/Sunday's programme would feature Dan Dare, Flash Gordon et al. -- and Blake's 7. Doubtless it will be broadcast somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00 am as usual... the time-slot is criminal, bearing in mind the way the 'Guardian', for one, has been picking out the programme week after week as one of its three Saturday recommendations. I'm not sure whether the prospect is to be looked forward to or not. The presenter is obviously a genuine SF enthusiast, even if he does occasionally resort to the usual gambit of making his subjects look silly, and the format so far has basically been a fairly conservative combination of talking heads and clips from the material under discussion, despite a tendency to occasional weird camera-work, presumably thought to be in keeping with the futuristic theme. To date the programmes have ranged (in my opinion) from insightful -- H.G.Wells, Frankenstein (what I saw of it -- that was the day the cloaks changed), Clockwork Orange, The Prisoner -- to unbelievably laboured attempts to present an argument using material that blatantly failed to back up the hypothesis -- Thunderbirds as sex symbol, Dr Who as acid dream. The Judge Dredd/2000 AD edition sounded plausible, but I don't know enough about the subject to judge whether the punk analogy was fair or not. However, going by the Boys' Own company in which it is to find itself, I would guess that the forthcoming programme means to concentrate on the 'Robin Hood' aspect of Blake's 7 -- rescues, tangled loyalties, and heroics between the stars. Which sounds promising, to me at least; character junkies may have other views! (It could be worse: watching the presenter try to draw parallels between Thunderbirds and the 'auto-erotic' Crash was so dire you just had to laugh. By the time they got to 'Sean Connery in a red nappy' we were literally doubled over gasping in hysterics.) -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie ==
