Klegg and the art of being evil
by Sally Manton 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Ran across a memoir by Michael Sheard in the library the other day, and flicking through it, came across: "I saw my episode of B's 7 recently - 'Powerplay'. I was bloody good! Section Leader Klegg ..." <gurgle> might not be exactly modest (as a computer we all know once said, 'modesty would be dishonesty') but IMO he was absolutely right - he *was* bloody good as Klegg, one of the best things about Powerplay for me. I would have liked him to stick around for a bit longer (hey, they could have used someone to fill Travis's place, Klegg was easily scarier than Travis 2). We really were given some wonderful one-off villains ... for me, Alta Morag, Dev Tarrant and Dr Havant(The Way Back); Largo, the Enforcer and the Chairman (Shadow); Provine (Countdown); Klegg; Grose and Lector (Moloch, two of its few virtues); Kostos (Terminal - a small part, but relished); and Arlen (Blake) are rather better than the Travii (much as I like them) and Servalan (much as I accept her as ratings-enhancer). Even Raiker (Spacefall) and Dorian (Rescue) are enormous fun in their own way ... corruption on the Federation's scale may be a Vad Thing, but it certainly makes for good characters, as 'twere ... Sally PS - the quote from Sheard was at the end of a bit about Gareth Thomas; he sees it as amusing that, although his episode came after Gareth left, he sees and works with the *latter* at a lot of cons ... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Jacqui: <What 'general public holidays' would there be in the Federation - apart from 'New Year's Day' and 'Founding of the Federation Day'.> and Marian: <The celebration of the president's birthday - abolished by Servalan, who would never admit to getting older.> No, she'd prefer to declare the anniversary of the coup as a celebration (at least for those in a position to celebrate anything :-)) - goodness knows what she would call it (actually, goodness would have nothin' to do with it) but then she only got to celebrate it once, at the most <g> _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Holidays

Jacqui wrote: <What 'general public holidays' would there be in the Federation - apart from 'New Year's Day' and 'Founding of the Federation Day'.> :-) Much as I'd like to invent heaps of increasingly absurd dictator-style Days of Celebration (President's Birthday, memroial days for a few military and very dead heroes, and a general Space Command dominated Remembrance Day, of course. Numerous large-scale rallies in celebrations and thanksgiving for all the joys of being Federated, oh yes. Anniversaries of every Outer World - errmmm - gathered into the fold (?) etc etc) I tend to doubt that there was actually many of any official or even officially tolerated such holidays in the Inner Worlds, at least - after all, they ain't going to celebrate very convincingly if you keep pumping the drugs into the cakes and ale, now are they? And in the Outer Worlds, I have a feeling any celebrations they'd *want* to have would not be at all to the Powers-That-Be's taste ... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Jacqui asked: >What would have happened if Servalan had met the entity from the episode 'Sarcophagus'?< An interesting battle of wills as the entity had quite different plans for her future than Servalan. Marian (trying to imagine Servalan as the entity's pet)
