I am most saddened to discover Avon Club n/l will end its run this December. So disregard what I said earlier today about joining Avon Club to get its newsletter. (Today was not a good day for me. My car broke down, and while I was walking, I got caught in the rain--among other things.) However, the Avon Club website will still exist -- http://www.avon-paul-darrow.co.uk --and all Avon Club fanzines will be available from Judith Proctor, so that is good. http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/index.html Joyce

Veron in the midfield
by Harriet Monkhouse 04 Jul '01

I keep doing double takes when I open the newspapers' sports pages and find that my football club is trying to sign Veron. That slip of a lass an international footballer... Maybe that's why Servalan was so interested. -- Harriet "There is a place for all at the rendezvous of victory." - Aime Cesaire

Mistral wrote: <I suppose Gambit is just having a friend.> Although it does have that nice little sting of Avon insisting Vila play Speed Chess rather than give up their winnings - it ain't betrayal like Orbit, but it's an interesting moment of expediency (I do think Avon truly believed that Vila was not in as much danger as all that, and that Orac was up to the challenge, but it still ain't nice). Holmes may have loved putting them together, but wasn't ever under any illusion about what they'd do for each other. <Though there's one line in Gambit that doesn't ring true - 'You dummy.' It's too flat and generic for me to take seriously> Oh but I think the tone of voice redeems it :-) Me: <(other episodes have good A-V in them - Volcano, Deliverance, City and Bounty, for starters - but aren't *built* around it).> and Mistral: <Heh. Well, would *you* say that a good A-B episode isn't important? ;-)> Hey, you're talking to someone who's built a whole argument around the two Blake references in Moloch and Rumours, which makes *them* A-B by my admittedly partisan standards ... yes, but there is A-B (Redemption, Pressure Point, Star One) and there is A-B (Duel, Deliverance, Weapon). <I think Bounty and Volcano both have significant A-V development.> Absolutely, but what I meant was it's a smaller *part* of the episode as a whole, <Without those two episodes, I'd be less inclined to interpret the relationship as mutual liking, and more as just being stuck on the same ship.> Up to Bounty, I think it was more the latter; the relationship does take a while to kick in. (BTW, Deliverance is good A-V as well IMO, Vila's gleeful teasing the whole way through is wonderful). My absolute favourite A-V *moment* is in fact in 'Blake' - that oddly gentle "you think you've found Blake" - which is IMO a single moment beautifully poised on everything that's gone before, including Orbit. But then 'Blake' does that on a range of levels ... <Shame on you, neglecting the really important one.> <grin> Can't think who you mean ... but yes, if he could survive being on Servalan's staff, he could survive a measley intergalactic war. <Well, the brown vinyl is a bit dodgy, but I love the blue leather. Oddly enough, I like it far better now I know it's blue than I did when I thought it was black. Black leather and studs is just so ... pedestrian.> The Terminal black-leather-n-studs is nice; the set Dorian buys for him is awful, but I explain it in my own mind as a sort of sartorial mixture of mourning and almost-armour, which fits his 4th series mindset. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: Avon Club zines

I am happy that Judith is offering the Avon Club zines for sale because that makes it easier for people not living in the UK to buy them. http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/index.html I highly recommend a lot of them because quite often Blake gets a good part in the Avon Club zines. For Americans, if you do not mind sending American dollars cash, there is no problem in buying zines from Avon Club. That's the way I have bought all of mine. But if you mind sending cash, then Judith's site will be better for you. I have personally found Ann Bown, the lady in charge of Avon Club, to be very helpful in deciding which zines to buy. I just ask her if there's good Blake and if she says yes, then I buy the zine. And even though I am not an Avon fan nor a Paul Darrow fan, I do recommend the Avon Club newsletter which comes out regularly twice a year because normally there is some nice fiction in the newsletter. Also, I have bought some of the Avon Club coasters and some of the Paul Darrow calendars which are very well done. Avon Club accepts American cash without penalizing Americans so it's easy for Americans to buy things and, also, to join Avon Club. However, there is a big fee for American dollars checks. I don't know how people in other countries join, though I suspect you can send American or British cash. You do not have to be a member to buy things from Avon Club, however. AvonPDS(a)aol.com is the Email. http://www.avon-paul-darrow.co.uk is the website. If anyone who likes Blake wonders what Avon Club zines I have, I have the following zines. (Some Avon Club zines I have sold because they didn't have enough good blake, but I have no record of that. ) These are just the ones I have saved. Avon 1, 2, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, and 20. Avon Special (I highly recommend this. A wonderful 20th anniversary zine that Avon Club put out in 1998. I was most impressed.) Standard by Seven: The Early Years (reprint zines) 1, 2, 3 and 5.

re: tarrant on TV
by Alison Page 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

I didn't video this unfortunately, and he was only on for a couple of minutes. I very much like the way British TV does trial reconstructions. I think it is less intrusive than filming trials live, but it makes very gripping drama. It must be quite a challenge for script-editor, director and actors. The turn-around is obviously very swift, and it must be a challenge to generate drama and characterisation from raw transcripts. In Pacey's case the challenge was exacerbated by the fact that he was representing a very dry academic sort of chap. I could see some continuity with Tarrant - that sort of stubborn 'like it or lump it' face that he puts up from time to time.
