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. Link

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

Prices for each film - £14 (conc. £12) with Q&A after the screening
