Hi,
I just found this out.. too late as usual, but maybe someone else here knew
about it? Apparently there were Blakes 7 out-takes on a BBC programme in the
UK a week ago.. Aunties Golden Bloomers or whatever the silly name of the
programme is! I would give anything to see some Blakes 7 out-takes, and if
anyone happened to video it I will pay for a copy!

Currently there is for auction on Ebay a book by Mat Irvine about his sci-fi
work and B7 is included in the book. It is number 382278481.
When looking for B7 items on Ebay through search, spell it three ways.
Blake's 7, Blakes 7, Blake's Seven
I found this item under Blake's Seven. It might be nice for someone
interested in models and effects.

Indeed I have (preen) - I taped it, ha ha.
There was only one out-take featured, a scene featuring Jackie Pearce & Stephen
Grief. It was great. I can try and send you a copy Isobel but I taped it on
Long Play so I might not be able to copy it, as I am dull-witted with
technology, in which case I can send you the tape itself (but I'll need it back
as I taped it after some of my favourite films). Mail me your postal address
and it'll be on its way within days.
Following on from this: does anyone know if the "Avon's teddy bear" footage
still exists? I was secretly hoping this would be the out-take they showed :(
I heard it didn't exist any more, but my housemate says she thinks she saw it
at a convention, but quite often (like Dougal in Father Ted) she can't tell
what was real and what she dreamed. (The other week she dreamed Judith Proctor
- who she's never met - came to live with us and looked exactly like Kasabi.)
Love,

I know. And Bob Beattie, Mike Myers, Jim Carey... did you know, there was an
American game show years back which had a quiz category entitled "Dead or

dead or Canadian.

actually two searches ought to be enough with most auction sites/search engines:
1: blakes
2: blake's
you might get a few non B7 items, but you certainly won't miss any out.

If I remember correctly, the British Conservative party recently "borrowed"
their latest plans from Ontario. The "Common Sense Revolution" was started
here in Ontario by the ruling Progressive Conservatives in 1998. Got them
elected, so the British lifted a lot of the policies straight from here.
Guess they think Ontario is now similar to Britain.
