Can anyone tell me, or point me in the right direction to a source which can tell me, details of (early) US transmissions of B7? Una

heart of Jarvik
by Alison Page 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

My nephew has a neurological problem which makes it difficult for him to speak clearly (among other things) and for several years he has had a speech synthesiser. This doesn't work quite the same as Stephen Hawkings': it is simplified for children's use, and features a large keyboard with a range of pre-recorded phrases, plus a facility to expand this range. So - we have here a big electronic box, that can talk. Of course the makers call it 'Orac' - what else? Anyway, rumour has it that a lot more of these are to be made, and distributed to disabled children in the UK, so look out the Orac's are coming. heart of jarvik, voice of orac. What will medical science deliver next?

However, i can't find any info abt Ben Steed on Google, so... ideas anyone...? kevs ===== "Under an Aussie sky..." http://www.southernsky.fsnet.co.uk "afterglow", http://www.afterglow.fsnet.co.uk Kevin C McCully "The world is what you make it". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: fanfic on the lyst
by Harriet Monkhouse 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

Well, it's not proper fanfic, but a couple of people were misguided enough to enquire how my Scottish friend might fare in a few more episodes... "Sarcophagus" by Harriet Monkhouse [Scene: The Liberator flightdeck, lit by lightning flashes. The Alien is hissing at Avon, while Vila, Dayna and Tarrant crouch on the floor.] AVON: You look so beautiful when you're angry. [Avon kisses the Alien, and tries to take her ring.] ALIEN: You think a girl's going to fall for that old line? [She promptly knees him, and he falls writhing to the ground. Tarrant and co wonder whether to help him, but think better of it. Enter Man with Duffle Bag. Brief vision of Symbolic Masked Man with Duffle Bag, holding up duffle bag in mysterious ritualistic manner.] JARRIERE: Now, miss, no need to get nasty! ALIEN [looking him up and down]: Who are you? Was your presence here predicted? You seem familiar, but you hardly fit the bill of "intelligent menial"... JARRIERE: Well, miss, we'll let others be the judge of that. Now, if you could just come here... [He has been fiddling with the bag, and finally opens it up, to reveal a giant blue egg.] VILA [hopefully]: Oh, is that chocolate? ALIEN: No! VILA: Marzipan, then? [Dayna jabs him somewhere painful until he shuts up.] ALIEN: No!! [Jarriere pulls out of his bag something resembling the tube from a vacuum cleaner, attaches one end to the egg, and waves the other end at the Alien.] ALIEN: NO!!! [Her form begins to distort as she is sucked down the tube into the egg. All that is left is a faint murmur of "Eldrad *must* live!" Jarriere pulls out the tube, reveals that he is holding the Alien's ring, and somehow uses it to seal the hole in the bottom of the egg. Cally staggers on to the flightdeck and gazes at him, tearful but grateful.] JARRIERE: I'm sorry you had all that trouble, miss, but really, you should check the "Display until" notices on alien artefacts more carefully. [He finishes putting the egg back into his duffle bag and slings it over one shoulder. Exit] -- Jarriet Jarriere: [Shakes his head] - Gambit

Jarvik's 7?
by Iain Walker 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

I was reading the grauniad online today, and in a piece on cyborgs (http://www.guardian.co.uk/netnotes/article/0,6729,474637,00.html) they talked about something that set off all my Blakes 7 alarms. In about 1978, the first articifical hearts were used. Their name: "JARVIK-7"! Does this mean that Jarvik's "heartiness" was artificial? Was he supposed to be the leader of a group of seven outlaws? I think we need to be told ;-) - Iain

Traitor script on Ebay going in 20 hours
by JEB31538＠cs.com 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

There's an item not listed on Blake's 7 or Blakes 7 on the US Ebay but is listed in B7 (I think it's Blakes 7 without the apostrophe) in the UK Ebay. That's one reason people should check both Ebays and both spellings because the listings are not the same. In the US, it is listed somewhere in TV memorabilia section --a place I never look. The item number is 1423576780. And it goes in about 20 hours from this post if you get it as an individual Email at the time I'm sending it. It is Wednesday just after 11 AM PST in California now. It is the original camera script of Traitor which the seller claims to have gotten from Chris Boucher himself. The beginning bid is 20 pounds and there are no bids. I frankly don't know if it's worth 20 pounds or not since I'm not into collecting scripts. There are pencil notations on the script. Script collectors might take a quick look at this if you get this Email notice in time. You can get to the item easily by searching for it by item number. 1423576780 http://www.ebay.com/ http://www.ebay.co.uk Joyce
