I have put together a page charting the most popular images in my frame capture library for the year 1999. There are tables listing all the indexed characters & subjects in the library, ordered by total number of downloads and average downloads per image. Also, a list of the year's top 20 images for each show in the library. You can find the page at: http://lcw.simplenet.com/pop99.html . B7 definitely swept the field this year, capturing all the highest ranking scores. Avon topped the total downloads (at over 51000!), with B7 characters taking 10 of the top 11 places. Seven of the B7 characters broke the 10000-downloads mark, while only one from another show did. B7 also topped the downloads-per-image scores, but here it was the hardware that took the top places: Orac, the Liberator, and Scorpio. And Servalan edged out Avon for third place. The top 20 B7 images consist mostly of the Liberator and Servalan, with a few others thrown in for variety. Drop by the page and see how your favorites fared during the past year. - Lisa -- _____________________________________________________________ Lisa Williams: lcw@dallas.net or lwilliams@raytheon.com Lisa's Video Frame Capture Library: http://lcw.simplenet.com/ From Eroica With Love: http://eroica.simplenet.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 17:53:40 -0500 From: Harriet Monkhouse <101637.2064@compuserve.com> To: "INTERNET:blakes7@lysator.liu.se" <blakes7@lysator.liu.se> Subject: [B7L] KBTC starts the New Year right!!!!

Well, when you're done with the 'Moonbase 3' tapes, I'm sure we can arrange a swap and you can take the 'Star Cops' away with you... We'll have to mug Nicola first, tho', as she currently has them.

Well, at least you can buy Chris Boucher's 'Star Cops' novel. Details on http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 I've got copies for sale and the sequel is making steady progress.

And Judith is showing infinite patience with my proofing turnaround, which fell foul of Xmas and a bad cold. Sorry, Judith <wry face> Una ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 18:44:30 -0000 From: "Neil Faulkner" <N.Faulkner@tesco.net> To: "b7" <blakes7@lysator.liu.se> Subject: Re [B7L] Take A Pew Message-ID: <023701bf5556$80ce10c0$b255ac3e@default> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit With thanks for inspiration to Alan Bennett (Beyond the Fringe, 1960) Hello, everyone. It's astonishing, isn't it, to think that this message is being sent to you at twenty minutes past seven on the evening of the 2nd of January, in the year 2000. That's right - exactly twenty-two years since we first saw an episode of that marvellous BBC production, 'Blakes Seven'. And what an episode it was! We met Blake, poor bemused befuddled Blake, striving to make sense of his existence under the wicked and sinful rule of the evil Federation. Aren't we all just like him? I know I am. No matter where I go, whether it's shopping in the supermarket or walking the dog in the local park, I seem to be creeping through an underground labyrinth, hiding from sinister masked guards, only to find them waiting for me at my front door. I'm sure you feel the same way, here, together, tonight. So I want you all to ponder on Blake's very last line in this masterpiece of television drama, ''I'm coming back.'' I'm coming back. Isn't that what Life is all about? We set forth, we venture out, into Life's unpredictabilities, never knowing whether some colossal alien spaceship will come to rescue us in our hour of need. Some of us - some of -you-, I'm sure - are afraid of being sucked out of the transfer tube before we've even set foot on board. And others feel all too certain that a mighty Liberator will never come their way. But it did for Blake, and that is what I want us to think about, here, together, tonight. And as I look back over those four glorious years, when sometimes it seemed that a new episode was being broadcast every week, for as long as three months in a row, I can't help being reminded of something else that Blake once said, something that made a very deep impression on me. And, I'm sure, on all of you. It's in the episode 'Weapon', in the scene immediately after the preceding one. Blake is trying to extract some information from Orac, who is being his usual temperamental self. Finally Blake says to Orac those unforgettable words, ''Well, can you get it?'' Well, indeed! Which prompts the inevitable question, Can -you- get it? Can, for that matter, any of us? Well, I like to think we can. After all, we all have answers, don't we? I know I do. But do we have the right questions? I think that's something we ought to ask ourselves more often. So as I leave you all, here, together, tonight, I want you to plod through the next season of your lives with a little scurry of hope. As you wander through the plot of tomorrow's brand new episode, beset by all the Servalans and Travises that always seem to get in your way, as they certainly do in mine, you could do worse than say to yourself, no matter how quietly, ''Yes, I can get it, and yes, I'm coming back.'' Goodnight, everyone. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 22:54:19 -0000 From: "Una McCormack" <una@q-research.connectfree.co.uk> To: "b7" <blakes7@lysator.liu.se> Subject: Re: Re [B7L] Take A Pew Message-ID: <04e101bf5574$619cb350$0d01a8c0@hedge> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Neil wrote: > And what an episode it was!
