The web page http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7  has got a lot of minor updates

While watching London's Burning the other evening to see Gareth's parts, I came
across an uncredited apearance by Michael Keating.  Amusingly enough, his
character was ACO Howard, which put him at the same rank as Gareth's
semi-regular character ACO Bulstrode.  The picture is under Michael Keating in
'Who's Who'.

Carol's trip report to England is now loaded in its complete form.  It can be
accessed from Syeven Pacey in 'Who's Who' or from the section on Convention
reports.

The 'fan club' section of the page now has a photo of the Lysator building and
Calle's explanation of the origin of the name.

There's some new filks, mostly by Chris Blenkarn, but also Harriet's Basil Brush
filk (Travis Space Commander). 

There's various minor updates on the fanzine pages.

The video section is working, but is not yet in it's final form.  We've now got
links to on-line sources for all the Blake's 7 tapes in both PAL (European) and
NTSC (American) format.  Please note that we CANNOT tell which design of cover
you'll get as some of the tapes held by the on-line bookshops are old stock from
the previous release.

We'll be adding an episode guide to this section before long.

We're also working on links to suppliers for Dr Who videos and other popular SF
shows.  (We got frustrated by the bookshop's habit of listing videos
alphabetically or by number only with no episode title, so we're working on
getting a more informative listing.  We've not yet done everything we want to do
here, but even it the current form, we hope it will be of some use.)

I Wanna Lead This Band
A Filk for Avon
(to the tune of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand")



Oh Blake, I'll tell you something
You may not understand,
But it's very important
That I lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.

Jenna, say to me
You'll let me be the man.
Cally, say to me
You and Vila and Gan
Will let me lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.

'Cause when I'm in charge,
I feel happy, inside.
It makes my ego so large,
It can't hide.
It can't hide.
It can't hide.

'Cause I have an idea
How to stop Servalan.
But I will not tell ya
Unless I lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.

Blake's said we'll crush her,
Then we run and hide.
We need a victory that'll finally
Turn the tide.
Turn the tide.
Turn the tide.

With me, we'll have the power
The Fed'ration'll understand.
They'll run, run and cower
If I can lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.
I wanna lead this band.

But we still don't know for certain how it got from the System to Blake,
only that it was drifting abandoned after an unexplained battle.  It might
have been stolen (from the System) to the future and then sent back again
(double manoeuvre slightly complicated, but the System Blake and co visit
appears to be in the present).  The intermediate owners would then be
responsible for the provision of that extensive and very un-Altalike
wardrobe.

Thanks.  And thanks to everyone else who's told me here or in private

7x7?  I'm not familiar with those.  I learned about drabbles on
alt.drwho.creative and found a niche (As of today, I've written over a
hundred of the things, including 89 Who-related.).
   Incidentally, these three B7 ones and the dates listed give a partial
timeline of my experience with the show.  I wrote the first after seeing
"Deliverance" for the first time (I've made it a point to only watch the
eps in order.) and the second after "Weapon". This third one, then,
heralded the completion of my task; I've now seen "Blake".

I also want to do some longer stories with Jenna the Vampire Slayer,
but that might be too silly.

This was something I suggested in the summer. Most of the response was on
the sister list to this one, space city. 49 words (7*7) seemed an
appropriate arbitrary figure. It was very impressive how people managed to
work within the restrictions, but also produce something which was very
distinctively their own. 

My idea - which is not dead only resting - was to make a web site of these
7*7 snippets. The idea was to randomise them. The Java I used spoiled the
formatting though and many people had used formatting to good effect in
their snippets, which I didn't want to lose. I thus got into a bit of a
dead end and got stuck.

If .. this is very much cheating .. but if anyone has enough spare time and
inclination to help me with this I would of course be very grateful.

I know they didn't do it first but Bangor's teleporting is still 
significant as the photon they managed to teleport is a lot bigger than 
whatever the other team managed.  (Was that an electron or something?  
I'm not sure.)

I don't care anyway, I live in Bangor and it's not often I can find 
something interesting to brag about!

Yeah, you could be right. Tarrant and Og are so easy to mix up, you know
with depth of personality, that sort of thing
