Make up piccies
by Steve Rogerson 04 Nov '01

04 Nov '01

This message appeared on the Cult TV list - can anyone help? "I've just come back from Memorabilia at the NEC and think I've managed to stumble across something rather rare from Blake's Seven. I bought 3 polaroid photos, each signed by Jan Chappell, at 4 quid each. The first is a photo from Sarcophagus showing Jan in full make up, signed on the front by Jan Chappell. On the back somebody (Jan?) has written 'Original polaroid for make up purposes Circa 1979'. The second is another photo of Jan in full make up, also from Sarcophagus, also signed on the front. This one also has, in the same handwriting as the signature, 'Sarcophagus Blakes Seven BBC original'. The third is a location photo of Jan from Terminus, again, signed by her on the front. In pencil along the bottom, somebody has written 'Cost. Terminal Down The Hatch' and along the top it has 'Unique BBC costume polaroid 1979'. Would I be right in thinking that these are photos that would've been taken for make up and costume tests and continuity at the time of the productions? Does anybody know if there are many of them knocking about, or have I stumbled across a rarity? Any ideas?" -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

Does the Thing refuse to eat people in dirty clothes or sommat? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I thought to keep them at ease, I mean wasnt it because he was having a bath or sommat that Avon's gun was stolen. They're so busy thanking fate, they don't have time to wonder why there are clothes fit to size, or why Soolin doesn't wonder at all the new-comers. I mean for an intelligent, resourceful woman, how could she miss the large influx of people coming in and lack of them leaving?

Ewwww. Actually, given the very small glimpse we get of his strongly in need of extra strength slime remover excuse of a personality, I'm afraid I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have other hobbies that could form the basis of an Alfred Hitchcock movie or even a couple of episodes of America's Most Wanted. It actually makes me wish he'd had a much more dramatic demise. Or perhaps if the Hommiks had shown up and started singing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead." Hmm, Dorian dead under a house. Now, who should play Glinda . . . ? Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

My personal suspicion was that an alien with a different agenda slipped it into Federations hands. And manipulated the different effects. And kept everyone focused on side issues like headless androids. And kept them from ever making use of headless androids. Or thinking of turning in Servalan. However, even my tendency to take the plot, fold it into origami, and try and bend it into an explantation falls short with Liberator. Between the note and Avon's constant claim of ownership, it seems like there should be a story explaining how he either knew it would be there or arranged for it to show up. Even the fact that he wasn't prepared for the ship's defenses might be overlooked, but how he managed to get it from the System, etc. is a bit of a stretch (I know I once speculated on how Avon might have come from the System, but I'm afraid I didn't find myself terribly convincing).

It would be a good reason to stay in shape. You know - I have 3 leather outfits and if I gain a size I've got 1 (give ot take silver acessories). I figured as Dorian seems to have lured quite a few people - considering his age and his 'need' - maybe he had quite a large wardrobe for all the people he 'rescued' - they should have waited for the local breakdown service. He'd go out for a nice shop and when they were rescued - 'oh yes isnt it handy I have all these clothes in your size which suit you. Well if it wasnt for that large sale on a nearby planet.'

It generates large numbers of viewers; quality and creativity are simply not the point. Cynic that I am, I actually believe the masses in the U.S. prefer mediocre, formulaic television. The big networks usually seem to shoot for one or two critically acclaimed series for cachet, and the rest are aimed at Mr. & Mrs. Uniformly Average. Mistral -- "Who do you serve?
