Cable and Wireless - I hate them, I hate them with a passion!
This morning of all mornings when UK Gold were showing 'Blake'
Cable and Wireless _lost_ several channels for a few hours -
including UK Gold.
I always video the B7 to watch in the evening in peace and quiet
but today when I went in to check that the recording was working
OK I discovered the awful truth. I don't have a recording of it in any
other form so I am buying the videos as soon as they come
out - however given the rate at which they are released it will now
be months and months before I get to see Blake again.
I rang Cable and Wireless to complain and was kept waiting in a queue
for 30 minutes before a depressed sounding man called Doug came on
the phone, listened to my outraged blusterings and then said someone
would call me back. I have heard no more since. I fully intend to
demand compensation - Ok nothing can really make up for the disappointment
but I just want someone to feel punished <snarl>
Has anyone else been let down like this by C&W?

Well at least you found the tapes.
I have been on holiday for a fortnight and before I went the local
WH Smith still had not got the tape so I asked for one to be
put aside.
At 10.30am Saturday I put down on British soil (tarmac) and by
1pm I was in there asking for my tape. "Sorry" they said "they are
not in yet". Same story at Woollies.
Until I read your mail I thought there must have been a general
delay on the release - now I know it is just all video retailers
in Macclesfield being totally useless.
Sorry to sound so cross but, what with this disappointment plus
Lost in Space (which I had set the video for) and then the crowning
glory of C&W cock-up making me miss Blake (see previous mailing)
I am just a bit fed-up.
Nice hols though.

Message-Id: <698210120MCR1@MCR1.poptel.org.uk>
I'm having great difficulty finding a suitable copy of tape five
in the new releases of the B7 videos. My quest is not helped by
the local Woolworths and WH Smiths not stocking it.
However, Virgin and HMV that do stock it have a problem. Let
me explain.
I'm going for the darker chocolate paper style wrappers.
Apparently on these the barcode doesn't show up very well, so
they stick a white barcode sticker over the original, and it looks
ugly. Now on tapes one to four this was stuck on the outside
plastic cover where it could be removed without too much
trouble. But on tape five it is stuck on the inside paper cover. I
asked the woman at HMV to remove it for me and she started
to and then stopped saying it would, as I suspected, tear the
paper. What I don't know is if these are stuck on by Fabulous
Films, in which case they will all have this problem, or by the
warehouses of the shops concerned. What have others found?
Am I going to have any luck finding an unstickered copy?
cheers

I was there! It was a fantastic last night, and Paul was wonderful. The
applause was thunderous, with yells and shouts too. The cast were all very

Perhaps this is why Gan seems to be viewed as the best leader available.
Remember how reluctant most of the crims on Cygnus Alpha were to take
advantage of Blake's offer of escape? Sure, there was the drug they
thought they needed, but perhaps it was something else, as well?

Yet, the crims we see (except for Arco, who I suspect kills women and
wears their skins while he shags men) are non-violent. Political
prisoners, smugglers, thieves, embezzlers, etc.

I expect a number of those on board had been "framed." They in

As some of you may recall, my daughter, Missy Rose (age 6) went
trick-or-treating as Avon last Halloween. Their kindergarten teacher
prepared a video show of still shots she had taken throughout the year,
and of course, Missy as Avon appeared in the Halloween party shots. The
little girl sitting next to me leaned over and said, "What on EARTH is
Avon?"
Ah, the innocence of youth...

Someone asked about fanfic dealing with the accusation of child

several of the children who were molested, as adults. They wander in

Pat Patera made a few interesting comments about the criminals on the London:

>prisoners, smugglers, thieves, embezzlers, etc.
The problem with this is that these are, to quote Villa, the 'nice people'
aboard. I'm sure that there are a goodly number or rapists, child abusers,
and serial killers amongst them.
She also said that
>I expect a number of those on board had been "framed." They in
>particular would believe Blake had also been framed.
The only person we saw replying to Blake's assertions of innocence was
Villa, who gave the cynical reply that they were all victims of a
miscarriage of justice. As far as the B7 crew is concerned, we must accept,
in the face of any assertions to the contrary, that they were guilty as
charged.
My own belief is that the Federation justice system was a fair one,
at least as far as ordinary crimes were concerned. This way, the
administration could trumpet that it was a fair one, and that only the
guilty were punished. Political offenders like Blake, however, were another
matter. As his trial showed, they were quite prepared to fabricate the
evidence to get the result they wanted. It was the fact that the system
appeared to work fairly (because it did, a lot of the time, as long as there
was no politics involved) which explains the shock of Blake's lawyer when he
finds out that his client _was_ framed.

LOL. But I rather fancy Soolin as a
vampire herself - Soolin as Carmilla
Karnstein, now that's an image to get
my juices flowing. Soolin has her cold
beauty, lethargic power and mystery -
she'd be perfect. 'Twere I the virginal little
Laura, I would not hesitate for a moment -
those interfering male bastards would find
the stake in their *own* hearts before I'd
acqueisse to their self-righteous destruction
of the goddess. But 'twere Soolin
Carmilla, they would never have caught her
sleeping in her coffin in the first place.
The quickest canines in Eastern Europe...
Oh, Carmilla! What sweet delusion, what
dark delirium, what marvellous sickness
consumed my very vitals! Even now my
lassitude lingers and, glancing up
quickly, I seem to hear her soft footfall
outside my door...

You could think of it in this way - before, he was
in Blake's shadow, either literally - being the dark
influence and nea-sayer - and then figuratively,
always under suspicion of just being a temporary
fill-in 'till the great leader got back. Once Blake's
return proved to be an illusion, he was free to blossom
into all that delicious mildly s-m paraphenalia and
show his true potential as a top... Of course, he
blossomed one episode too early, but maybe he
was unconsioculy psychic. Or something. <g>

That's so. And, once again, Vila reacts so

Apologies if this has been posted before while
I was not reading, but here's the Cream of TV
listing for B7 (http://tv.cream.org):
<<ROBUST POST-WHO space opera, With well-documented cast of renegades
(Blake, who buggered off at the start, then buggered back on towards the
end), Avon (ooh, nasty, cf Jason in BATTLE OF THE PLANETS), Villa (bald,
comedy), Gan (big), Cally (telepathic po-facery) and Jenna (dodgy crim).
Later replacements were Sulin and (yes!) Tarrant. Like we say, there's more
detail on this at a million other sites. JACQUELINE PEARCE was
shoulder-padded Servilan. Also Zen, large hexagonal computer with disco
lights, and Orac, nasal talking fish tank with fairy lights. Spaceship
Liberator was made (by Matt Irvine!) out of three tennis balls and some
bogroll.Nice one.>>
OK, so the special effects descriptions are
cute, but they mispelled two goddesses and
failed to mention an acolyte - even though she's
named in a captioned piccie!

Take a look at Judith Proctor's website,
http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7
which has a huge database of zines, prices and publishers' addresses,
plus a links page with the web addresses of several ezines and mailing
lists.

Can you find a suitable solvent to remove the label without damaging the paper?
Difficult to rest non-destructively though...
