Hi all, Twenty years ago, on the 21st of December 1981, at 8pm, the screen fade to black. Then appeared the familiar BBC 1 globe, and the speaker gave voice... "And now on BBC 1", said the female announcer, "The last ever episode of Blakes 7." I remember it well, and how my heart sank to hear those words. So i invite you all to join with me in moment's quiet reverence for our heroes... *********

To the tune of "American Pie", By Don Maclain " Long, long time ago, I can still remember how that programme used to make me smile.

I used to turn off all the lights, And watch their interstellar fights, And then i would be happy for a while.

But late December made me shiver, When that female voice delivered Bad news from the speaker: It couldn't be much bleaker.

I don't recall just how i felt, As i watched their dreams of freedom melt. Their lives were done; the blow was dealt. The day Blakes 7 died.

So bye bye to the Scorpio crew. Fought for freedom for the masses 'gainst the wrath of the few. Flew to Gauda Prime for a final try, Singing This'll be the day we all die." ****** If anyone cares to complete this, or rewrite, feel free.

Cheers, and Seasonal good wishes to you all,
