OSP, I love that you asked your brothers for their views on B7. Inquiring minds want to know, does the oldest still have a thing for Servalan? Early teens seems to be prime age for getting invested in shows/books. I was bout the same age when I discovered Star Trek and B7. |

Dear OSP, I, too, was a Star Trek fan. Went to various conventions etc. Met James Doohan and George Takie....and then along came ST The Motion Picture..... Then, sometime in December 1977 along came my friend Julie with the Radio Times Double Issue. Hey, she said, there's a new programme starting in Jan. Called Blakes 7 and its written by that Terry Nation Chap.. Now I had always liked Mr Nation's work. Seeing his name on credits with The Champions, Dept S, The Baron etc and of course Dr Who with the lovely William Hartnell. So I read the article in the Radio Times, but couldn't keep it as Julie's parents wanted the RT back. Went to see a new sci film on the Saturday, Dec 31. It was called Star Wars...you may have heard of it. I didn't like it. I thought it had put Sci Fi back years... Anyway, come Monday Evening 2nd Jan at 5.15pm. 1 Child almost asleep... When that Character Blake said, no, I'm coming back straight to camera, I was hooked.. Then an agonising wait for a whole week and then Space Fall.....need I say more. This 23 year old (married with 1 little girl), went all weak at the knees. Who is this good looking fella who is arrogant, rude, nasty... I eventually got to meet said character at Teal Vandor in 1981 and I was a nervous wreck It took a few more years before I got up the courage to actually have a photo take with Mr D when Sarah, Daughter no 2, dragged me up to London and the Cinema Museum. She waylaid Mr D in a corridor and asked if she could take a photo of me and him. Certainly... She had to bark 'SMILE' at him for another shot...he did!!! So yes, after all these years and all the memories I still love the show and now I have another Blue Ray box set to watch after Christmas. I wonder if I can introduce Grandson's new girlfriend to B7 or would it be too old fashioned for her. Thanks for all the memories OSP. It was lovely reading them! Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

WOW! I love this Advent Calender! You all are so clever and such devoted B7 fans! I enjoy seeing the photo's, Tyce's convention report and all the others with everyone meeting our beloved actors. You made me smile with your images, stories and made me thinking with your puzzles. I have to admit that I have very very busy times as always during Advent and Christmas, so I haven't completed all puzzles yet. And for sure, I have to be very careful not to mix the texts of the official carols with the texts I've read here! LOL! *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Good work, BlueyH! I hope the glass in the portholes can resist a cricket ball hit for six at close quarters. I was doing something similar. I told it to create some wrapping paper.  |

Not sure why Servalan was stuck a the end of the row, rather than being the centre of attention, but it's definitely her! Great stuff, BlueyH. And just because you Aussies thrashed us before doesn't mean you'll do it again. Have fun at the cricket!

Lurena - loved your matchup puzzle. I haven’t got to your jigsaw yet but I will. BlueyH - I’m not much of a Simpsons fan but with your Blake’s 7 twist I could easily become one. Virn - sorry but I’ll be using the rebels calendar thanks anyway. ;-)  Ellen York - I love Christmas songs. Thanks for your selection. Also well done Anne Arthur for putting your name down in the last vacant spot. We were struggling a little bit at the beginning there - I’m so pleased to see everyone contributing. You are such a wonderfully creative bunch. :-) |

TT and Og Productions Proudly Present: HEADHUNTER – AN ALTERNATIVE ENDING Excellent story TT, but why did you edit out the bit where Bea Arthur sings “Good Night, But Not Goodbye” to Deadly Dudley’s Jazzed-Up Series D closing title music? It’s almost like you didn’t want to traumatise a whole generation of children just before Christmas! I look exactly as Avon reasoned I would.

I like the puzzles Huggy, especially the indicators for the scrambled words. |

Merry Christmas to all from the Adelaide cell of the rebellion! It’s been an absolute pleasure finding new B7 loving friends from all over the world over the last 12 months. Thanks for making me feel so welcome here  Christmas movie last night was Miracle on 34th Street (original 1947 version of course!) And the ever radient Mrs. BlueyH certainly knows how to keep me happy on Christmas morning!  Have a great holiday all. I look exactly as Avon reasoned I would.

Merry Christmas all! Just to say - as someone who has never contributed to the Advent calendar - a big thanks to all those who do. I enjoy it every year. Maybe one of these years I’ll post something, but I’m a bit wary of how my granddaughter might react… |

Early teens seems to be prime age for getting invested in shows/books. I was bout the same age when I discovered Star Trek and B7. My oldest brother and I share the same love/nostalgia for SF shows of yesteryear. I am well aware of his adoration for several ladies from these shows so Servalan will still be on his list... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I loved the story from Lara about Vila and Avon "conning" the Jeweller to get the money back Very clever.

And I have to admit that I still need to catch up with some of the contributions as this period is always a very busy time for me. *No, I am not.

I’m a bit wary of how my granddaughter might react… Given your username, that granddaughter must logically be - gasp! - Servalan! |
