Glynis Barber was on Love Your Weekend this morning. They did touch on Blakes 7 and showed a clip from Headhunter
I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Well at least it wasn't Animals!

Nice interview, but I'd like to have found out a bit more about Glynis early childhood in South Africa and her decision to move to the UK. Also no mention of Jane or the horror movie she appeared in, the title of which escapes me now.

It was Soolin and Orac having a "chat". But not the one I would have included!!

"I could fulfill your every desire."
"You wouldn't know where to start."

Is it that one you're thinking of?

Yes. Do you think that was too hot for a Sunday morning?😉

So many "Spotteds" just lately but not enough time to get on here and mention them. The last one, the other day, was Harry Fielder as a Henchman in the original Partners in Crime telemovie Agatha Christie's "Secret Adversary". The same telemovie also featured Alec McCowen, who was Geoffrey Burridge's (Dorian's) life partner. Pat Gorman was also seen in the Partners in Crime series (S1 Ep2, 1983) as a club commissionaire. Uncredited, if course.

I'm not sure whether this counts as a 'Spotted' or not, but the satirical Radio 4 show "The Skewer", which aims to 'remix the news' each week into 'a comedy concept album' included lots of snippets from B7 in last night's episode, as part of a section about a computer system called Horizon.

You can listen and even download the episode here: Click for The Skewer series 11, episode 1

Thanks for that, Joe. So ORAC was behind the Post Office scandal! I might have guessed.

Julius Caesar

Act 3 scene 2

ANTONY
Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,
His private arbors and new-planted orchards,
On this side Tiber. He hath left them you
And to your heirs forever—common pleasures, [240]
To walk abroad and recreate yourselves.
Here was a Caesar! When comes such another?

FIRST PLEBEIAN
Never, never.—Come, away, away!
We’ll burn his body in the holy place,
And with the brands fire the traitors' houses.
[245]
Take up the body.

It's a brief part, merely 'overflowing the cup' for Cassius, but at least his character has a name!

I've put two images side by side here as I'm sure seeing SP when he was younger is our chief interest.

For want of somewhere to put it, I’ve just read that IUPAC named four new elements in 2016. One of them, Oganesson, is named after Yuri Oganessian, creator of synthetic elements. This means, with atomic number 118, Og is on the Periodic Table of Elements!

To quote scientists who know the Periodic Table, “Oxygen Magnesium!”

We've seen the film and it's a must for any Blake's 7 fan. We were amazed to see Steven Pacey so small in it! What's the chances of them both being in the same film and then ending up on a series? Same as both Travi being in that Roman flick as gladiators I guess!

Brad and I got to speak with Michael Keating before the Return to Gauda Prime con in 2011 in Oxford and for some reason unknown to me, he came and sat with Lorna and me in the lobby for quite a time. I had mentioned before on Horizon that I'd be in the lobby to greet the various fans and helped that along by wearing my Del Grant t-shirt so I could be easily spotted. We had a nice chat with Michael about his career, he helping his wife to garden, and things like that. We got the story about the film above and then when Charleton Heston did one of his speeches, he had left out a line and Michael piped up that he missed a line, and Charleton said he had to do it again, and correct this time, which he did. Not much of a surprise there, a British actor knowing the speech as good as the principle actor- but we were enthralled hearing Michael's recollections, although he didn't as I remember encounter the very young Steven Pacey during filming.

I still remember fondly sitting with Lorna, watching for B7 guests to greet and Michael put his hand on my shoulder, leaned in, and said 'Hello' I'm Michael Keating'. Of course you are I wanted to say, but instead invited him to sit and chat. It's one of those rare times where you remember everything about the meeting- and funny enough the exact thing happened to me years later at an American Doctor Who con- I was sitting at a table with some fans and someone put their hand on my shoulder and excused himself for doing so and interrupting- it was Peter Davison. I'm the luckiest fan in the galaxy.

Spotted (actually, heard him first because my head was in a knitting pattern and I went "I know that voice" ) Steven Pacey in 'Hope Gap' as a – as it turns out – redundant divorce lawyer alongside Annette Benning and Bill Nighy.

For any Australians out there, it's available on SBS on Demand.

This used to be one of the regular Midday Movies when we still had them in Australia. That's how I saw it last, on some occasion when I was feeling poorly. Such a terrific line-up of B7 guest actors.

Spotted on BBC FOUR, Sunday 23 June, whilst I was still in the UK: Cy Grant in the 1956 "docudrama" A Man From The Sun, all about new Caribbean arrivals in the UK and their experiences with the locals, local authorities and attempts to get work. Telling, really, given his own earlier attempts to get work as a lawyer. He's pretty cool in this too.

It's annoying the number of TPTV programs not available online. I get their emails and get excited about some obscure thing being on then find it's only available to viewers in the UK and Ireland. Sob`

I think it might be available to watch online via Talking Pictures TV Encore. You will need to register first in order to watch it. Then select it under "War" or "Drama" heading - can't remember which.
