Discovered it in college... reception from a PBS station on the other side of the mountains, I watched it on a black and white sscreen. Thanks to the poor, grainy recption it was often like listening to a radio play. Sometimes I deliberately blurred my vision to lessen the effect of snow, which made it easier to make sense of the picture. At least I didn't know how bad the effects were in Dawn of the Gods. Fortunately, on summer break I discovered a friend had 6th generation copies of it, which were poor in color, but otherwise viewable. OTOH, he didn't have all the episodes. Happily, these days I have the entire series on professional tapes. Let's see, the original question was age; I was 17 or 18 when I discovered Blake's 7. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 17:24:40 PDT From: "Jason de Rooy" To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: [B7L] First Contact Message-ID: <20000519002440.6888.qmail@hotmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Jackie talking about Sand: >Trouble is, I hated this one the first time I saw.

I should point out that one-word titles in Dr Who are generally best avoided. 'Timelash', for example.

'Timelash', for example. Yeah, but Timelash had Paul Darrow! Every whovian on Earth realizes that Timelash is the worst episode of Dr. Who ever made. We each came to this conclusion independently. But Paul Darrow talling us all about how the Borad banned all mirrors is CAPTIVATING. We were all at the EDGE OF OUR SEATS when he pulled out his little medallion. We all expected him to throw off his flowing white robe and jump out at the baddies in his lobster outfit! We were waiting for Paul to KICK SOME ASS. The tension more than made up for the historical level of idiocy that Timelash showed otherwise. -- CrackMonkey.Org - Non-sequitur arguments and ad-hominem personal attacks LinuxCabal.Org - Co-location facilities and meeting space Pigdog.Org - The Online Handbook for Bad People of the Future You are not entitled to your opinions. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 11:13:25 -0700 From: Nick Moffitt To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: [B7L] First Contact Message-ID: <20000519111325.N11235@zork.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii begin RCalla6725@aol.com quotation: > Hate to be pendantic about all this, but I checked and there's only > been 16 Doctor Who stories with a one-word title.

If you want to see Gareth Thomas in a music video, read the following. GARETH THOMAS - on 2nd May Gareth spent the day at Glasgow University dressed in Judge-like robes to record a promotional video for pop group 'Belle & Sebastian''s new single 'Legal Man' (due for release 22nd May) Gareth's companions on the video were some belly dancers, some drag artists, a girl with a python and other assorted weird people singing along to the music in what was decked out to resemble a Soho gentleman's club from the 60's! The video is around 2 minutes long and if you have cable/satellite TV and watch the music channels for long enough you'll be bound to catch it!! To help you, look out for: 'Long Play' on Sky TV - it will be shown every day as a 'new release' the week of 22nd May (it's a late night/early hours of morning show); It will also be getting 5 plays a week on MTV Channel, specifically on Tuesday nights between 11pm and 1am on the 'Alternative Nation' show. It's been shown on the Jo Whiley Show on 17th May and also Video Tech on 11th May (both Channel 4). If the record gets into the charts, it may also be shown on BBC 1's 'Top of the Pops' Joyce Bowen ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 16:42:08 EDT From: RCalla6725@aol.com To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: [B7L] First Contact Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 19/05/00 19:17:13 GMT Daylight Time, nick@zork.net writes: << > Oh.
