Adrian Rigelsford, actually. Boxtree put this out a few years ago. It's got some nice pix and an episode guide, but I found it rather tedious to read. One for completists only IMO. For a better programme guide, Marvel did a Blake's 7 Winter Special edited by Gary Russell. It's a magazine with full episode guide and bits of nice background. There's a B7 comic story in the middle called Blockade!, plus the planned lyrics for the Blake's 7 theme tune that were written for the fourth series with the idea that Steven Pacey would sing them. Vere Lorimer wrote the lyrics, but it was never sung. The magazine often turns up in dealer rooms. It cost #2.99 initially, but a good condition one would probably set you back anything up to a tenner. cheers Steve Rogerson Redemption 99 - The Blakes 7/Babylon 5 convention 26-28 February 1999, Ashford International Hotel, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption/ "The workers united will never be ignited" Guards!

Tradgedy, isn't it? I can't even remember what the Nostromo looked like - it certainly wasn't distinctive, or a prominent player or anything. Where did the spacecraft Thunderbird go? (3 I think it was. And couldn't 1 go spacebound as well? So that would count) Tom Forsyth. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 10:47:47 -0500 From: "Reuben Herfindahl" To: , "Lysator List" Subject: Re: [B7L] The Making of Blakes 7 Message-ID: <006e01bd88bd$ae5ed950$660114ac@misnt> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----Original Message----- From: Jenni-Alison To: Lysator List Date: Saturday, May 23, 1998 7:40 PM Subject: [B7L] The Making of Blakes 7 >Does anyone have an opinion of a book called "The Making of Blakes 7" by >Adrian Wrigglesford (I think)?

I wouldn't pay massive amounts of money for it, but it's worth looking at. Lots of nice pictures, and it has a nice overview of how filming was done.
