Somebody call them off!
This time, it's a calendar over a colleague's desk, showing eight of the darn things. Una, Neil, speak severely to the powers that be, will you?

So that's where they got to...
There are two on my calendar, with their backs to me. They really are out of control.

You're complaining about a colleague with a B7 calendar?

You think that's bad? I work for the British Antarctic Survey, for my sins. Can't move for the buggers.

I've read that they've launched their long-planned invasion of South America, with Africa and Australia no doubt to be the next dominos to fall.
Which finally opened my eyes to the deeper truth: penguins are ANDROMEDANS. An early probe reported back merely that the dominant life form was a furless biped that can't fly, which turned out to be too vague a guide when the initial wave of breeders-of-warriors chose an out-of-the-way landing spot to form their breeding colonies.
Obviously we humans will succeed in fighting off *this* invasion (leading to the second effort recorded in Star One) but the damage we will take in the process!
Why, our whole civilization is doomed....

So there I was, putting together material for my Redemption workshop on 'Perfomance lessons from B5 and B7' when I was struck with a thought.
You see, Avon's Beautiful Suffering is undeniably canonical. However, the actual examples of it are things like the Avon/Anna confrontation in 'Rumours', which I think are actually examples of poor acting by Paul Darrow.
Is it really the case that others see the character's iron stoicism where I see only the actor's disregard of some fundamental principles of physical and vocal performance?
The workshop's at 1 pm on Saturday, if anyone wants to bring their cudgels.

There's a lot of Loitering for Purposes of Prosciuttion going on in B7, much of it initialed PD.*

I have to say that one of the few redeeming features of Animals is the bit when they burst into Justin's lab and PD, quite gratuitously, kicks a chair across the room. Sheer Class !

And there was I thinking the Exeter City references were a particularly brilliant way of putting you off the scent.

The award for which must surely go to either Brian Blessed or Colin Baker. Although this admittedly would be the most ham in any one episode.
How about the most ham in a season or the whole show? Any bids?
Now, about tongue.... :-)

But with Brian Blessed that's what you're paying for.

With Brian Blessed you typically get more than you paid for...... but then that's probably why you paid....

Get away, they were both positively understated compared to Bruce "we fight to live and we live to fight" Purchase in The Keeper.

Season 2 would have to be a strong candidate. Apart from the inimitable Mr Purchase, there's Brian Croucher in Hostage, Brian Croucher in Voices from the Past....Freida Knorr in Voices from the Past....Gareth Thomas in Voices from the Past. Mind you , Roger Parkes' inabillity to reproduce anything vaguely resembling normal human dialogue in that episode probably hindered the actors somewhat.
