In reply to Una's question, "How?"

In the Nazzaro/Wells version Jackson's exit is with his knowledge and
Muir says it wasn't.  I wasn't there, but seems the folks who were on
the crew might know more than the folks who only write about it years
later.  A minor point, but sometimes if the small details are off, you
might question the bigger details.

I'm still bopping around the book, checking out my favorite episodes
first.  At least it looks like Muir is thinking about what he's writing
about, even if I may not agree with everything.  In the end, it's all
down to opinions anyway.  He also assumes the reader is familiar with
current sci fi.

If he cut all the thumbnail resumes and irrelevant tangents, he'd have a
tighter piece.

We're working on a redesign of the 'gallery' section of our website and we
thought it might be fun to make it resemble a real gallery with different
collections and displays on different floors.

If we do that, we thought it might be fun to put in an entrance hall and all the
little rooms like the cafe and the toilets.

The question is, what pictures should be on display in such areas?

I think we have a few pictures of the crew eating, but what can we show for the
loos?

Any creative ideas?  I think a nappy-changing area is beyond us, though I guess
Forbus should get the disabled toilet...

Well, the Nazzaro/Wells version is quoting both David Jackson and David Maloney
in actual interviews and they both tell roughly the same story.  David Jackson
says he was told at the start of series 2 and Maloney took him out to lunch to
break the news.

(to those who don't have 'Blake's 7: the Inside Story', all I can say is grab a
copy fast if it's still available.  Lots of photos, funny stories and it draws
directly on the experience of numerous camera crew, actors, directors, etc. 
Sheelagh knows everyone.  I needed to contact Jim Francis, the special effects
designer, a few months ago to verify if a model from the series was genuine. 
Sheelagh knew instantly where I could find him.  The model in question turned
out to be the shuttle from Orbit, made by Ron Thornton.  It will hopefully be
making an appearance at Redemption '01 along with Ron himself.)

I think David Maloney's story is one of Sheelagh's tapes too, as I can hear his
voice in my mind saying that he was worried about what David's reaction would
be.

Blackstar also have the release date of 17th January - I've ordered mine. 
20% off any tape you order prior to release, permanently, so that's L8.79 
for Warlord/Blake. Personally, I never go near a video shop anymore. Could 
anybody else beat L24.99 for the Buffy season 1 box set? Not bad value.

I do, but then, I like browsing. Mind you, I did get Evil Dead 2 from
them, plus Robin of Sherwood #1, when no-one else was stocking it. And
they were nice enough to send me "It's A Wonderful Life" as an xmas
freebie.

I hope you have the good taste to avoid that hideous black thing that makes

We changed all the PAL video links on http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 from
Paradise to Blackstar recently as their prices were better.

Their policy of inclusive postage regardless of destination makes them great for
Australian fans too.

I have finally got around to connecting my new 'puter up to the Net, and
bearing in mind the immense trouble I shamelessly inflicted on everyone when
I first signed up to the Lyst, I'm sending this test message to see if I've
configured Outlook Express properly, or at least adequately.

Please inform me if this post is totally illegible.

I always liked the Web and the moral complexity is exactly why.  (well, that and
the major developments in the relationship between Avon and Blake)  I have the
capability to not see Saymon.  Bad special effects?  What special effects?
