What’s happening on the FORUM this Ogtober?While we wait for B7 on Blu-Ray in November, let’s hope the people lucky enough to attend the Release event on October 5th remember to report back for the rest of us! This goes for other meet-ups too, such as the recent Brit Sci-F event, and the Bristol Beer and B7. HERE
B7 Rewatches – we’re in Series D already! Join the conversation online as you watch at home. Click
Non-B7 rewatches - after our scary rewatch of Moondial with Jacqueline Pearce, we’re now rewatching The Champions (1967) on Thursday evenings. If you’ve never seen this series before, it’s well worth watching. Three British agents with superpowers taking down the criminals! Click
Ficlet Challenges – Take your inspiration from the prompts and give us your B7-related version of events in about 500 words. Click
Fanfic - we love your longer stories as well! Read some of them here: Click
Horizon Fans Visit the Observatory – the cartoon saga continues... in a parallel B7 universe. Click
Roj Bear’s Adventures – photographic evidence proving who really saved the day! Click
Fun and Games: there’s the jigsaws Click, the captions Click, The WORD, The WORD Click, and don’t miss the various ongoing conversations in Xenon Base. These are for members only, though - we don’t want Federation Security to know what we’re up to.

It's Back!Cast your mind back to 1989. Blake's 7 had been off the air for eight years (after ruining every kid's Christmas by killing off the cast in the final episode). It seemed like there was no - ahem - way back.
But still the flame flickered on. Interest in the series was still high enough for star Paul Darrow to publish his debut novel (entitled Avon: A Terrible Aspect), a prequel. It has long been out of print but, coming in February 2025, an audiobook reading will be released. The new audiobook is read by Alistair Lock, who regular Big Finish listeners will recognise from his roles as Orac, Zen and other characters across the Blake’s 7 range.
Blake's 7 – Avon: A Terrible Aspect has a running time of nearly six hours, and is now available to pre-order as a digital download for £19.99, exclusively from www.bigfinish.com. LinkClick CONTINUE READING for more info

Jan Chappell appears in 2 films which are part of the Without Permission: A Jon Sanders and Anna Mottram Retrospective - September 2024
‘The films of Jon Sanders and Anna Mottram are hidden British treasures, quiet and ethereal mood pieces that creep up on the viewer, as if written and filmed on the wind.’ – Jason Solomons
The 2 films in the season in which Jan appears are: LOW TIDE, and LATE SEPTEMBER
Low Tide - Tue 10 Sep, 6.30pm - dir. Jon Sanders, UK 2008, 85 min.
The story of the last three days of a woman's life. Kathy, who is dying of cancer, is being nursed at home. Jan plays an old friend of Kathy’s in the film. This lovely photo of Jan was taken at Low Tide's original World Premiere back in 2008.
Late September - Sat 14 Sep, 4.15pm, dir. Jon Sanders, UK 2012, 18+, 87 min
Taking place over a 24-hour period, in a beautiful Kent house and garden, the film follows the course and aftermath of a birthday celebration organised by a middle-aged woman for her husband to whom she has been married for nearly 40 years. Jan plays Flick in this film (there’s a trailer for the film on the ICA website) HERE
