This didn't seem to go through, so apologies if everyone now gets it twice...

David (Seven) asked:

If you, Tavia or Fiona, had the chance to spend quiet time with the B7 Script Editor, what would you ask him?

I fear I'd be the one cowering away at the back waiting for all the people who know what they're talking about to ask the sensible interesting questions. But some random issues that interest me with regard to Chris Boucher as both scriptwriter and editor (tempered by the fact he's probably forgotten totally)...

what were his influences as a B7 scriptwriter (other television, film, literature, real-life issues);

did he see B7 as science fiction, and if not, what genre did he see it as;

did he see B7 as a groundbreaking series or as a hack rehash of, say, Star Trek;

how much leeway did the writer get on producing scripts;

what were the major constraints on scripts (budget / BBC interpretation of audience expectations);

who was the ultimate arbiter on character or background;

did he compile a Sevencyclopaedia-like facts database;

how much did he discuss the Federation &c background with Nation and/or the directors;

how much did he discuss characters with the actors;

did he agree with the direction the series took in season 4, especially with regard to the changes in Avon's character; and how much of the latter was actually driven by Paul Darrow;

did he feel a tension between his/Holmes' scripts and Nation's scripts;

which scriptwriter was the hardest to edit;

which is his favourite of those episodes he wrote, and the least favourite;

was he expecting the mass fan outrage/upset at the episode 'Blake';

is he surprised that there are still active fans of B7;

what (if anything) does he think of fanfiction...

I fear that it might actually be more interesting to present the guy with a written series of questions rather than a live Q&A session.
