Rumours of Death - the rewrite
by Harriet Monkhouse 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

Some time ago, Stephen, a tasteful fellow, asked for a few more rewrites with Jarriere in them. And yesterday, I was given some advice by an expert. So: "Rumours of Death" by Harriet Monkhouse [Stand-off in cellar. Servalan chained to wall, Avon and Anna staring at each other. A door opens and Jarriere rushes down the steps.] SERVALAN: Jarriere! Over here! Free me and shoot those traitors! JARRIERE: Oh, hullo, Supreme Commander, no, sorry, it's Madam President now, isn't it? SERVALAN: Yes, yes, just get on with it, you idiot! JARRIERE: Er, I'm sorry, Supreme... er, Madam President, but I can't. SERVALAN: What? JARRIERE: Well, I'm working for Mrs Chesku today. [Avon rolls his eyes in annoyance at ceasing to be centre of attention. Jarriere suddenly swings round and glasses him.] CALLY: Why did you do that? JARRIERE: Because. ANNA (sternly): Because what? JARRIERE: Because I hate him for being English! Because it would be impolite not to! Because he probably plays for Rangers, and anyway when did he invent frogs? Because Iain Coleman said I would! [He pauses, and looks round, rubbing his eyes.] Oh - ah - I'm sorry, Mrs Chesku, I'm not quite sure what's going on here... [As he huddles on the cellar floor, suffering in an entirely realistic and totally unaesthetic manner, Avon is inclined to concur.]

Avon's signature
by Andrew Williams 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

The PDAS once had a membership card (or some other type of hand-out) that was done as Avon's galactic credit card. It came with Avon's signature as signed by Paul Darrow. Can anybody send me a scan of this card as I am after a copy of the "authentic" Avon signature for an idea I am working on. I did ask Ann Bown several years ago but she was not able to find one to photocopy for me. Also, does anyone know if any of the other actors have provided signatures for their characters? Regards, Andrew.

Isobel asked Sorry to bother everyone with this.. I wouldn't except that I noticed Calle is off to London, and so probably away from his email. So maybe someone could mail me with the answer? How do I go about getting on to the Freedom City and Spin lists? (As if I wasn't getting enough mail at the moment as things are!) David writes Further to the general link given by Steve R (43703), the two links that give the information are: http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/Fanclubs/MailNews.html#Spin http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/Fanclubs/Freedom.html#s Subscription to the former is automated but subscription to the latter requires a statement that you are of age. Freedom City has the option of digest format. (Jolly useful is digest format if you are snowed under with email). DC

Has lysator gone down, the instant Calle's back is turned? Or is it just that everyone else is busy packing for Deliverance? Um, B7 relevance....uh, is this how they felt when Liberator was cut off from the outside universe in "Dawn of the Gods"? AVON: There are no stars out there, Tarrant. There is nothing.

My own policy is to read everything and then decide what I want to post replies to, so the somewhat chaotic and exuberant nature of debate on this list is, for me at least, a given rather than a nuisance. Clearly for Fiona and Neil at least, things look slightly different. Could I suggest that if a serious discussion is taking place and someone wants to follow up a Marxist exegesis of "Stardrive" with an observation about Vila's lovely smile they at least append frivolous (or carnal) to their title so people can have some prior warning. Could I also suggest, and I am as guilty of this as anyone else on the list, that when a discussion has changed that the title changes - so Threads entitled "The Federation, really nasty or what ?" do not in fact pertain to the naffest outfit in the show. And that we have a policy of not singling out individuals in titles to personify aspects we are displeased with. (In fairness to Sally and Wendy and anyone else in the future). And finally that when someone thinks of a really good Bon Mot and is so overcome with this that they forget all of the above they don't get jumped on unless they're really egrerious (sp ?) offenders. Frankly the serious and frivolous aspects of this list are both too wonderful to lose. Now take me to Cuba or the penguin gets it !

No putting words in my mouth. I distinctly said what I did in a complimentary fashion, and stated that they were appealing because they were different. I never said the viewers in question were the center of the universe. However, I've noticed that fans/viewers in the UK, exactly like fans/viewers in the US, have a natural tendency to imagine that the entertainment they are used to is the Center of the Universe. They are deliberately conditioned to see things this way by the broadcasters and producers in their respective countries. Leah
