[vilakins]

Richard Calla, who has a major B7 site, was informed by the BBC of a new SF programme coming up, and he posted about it to a B7 mailing list.BBC Scotland are making a series of six SF retrospective programmes for BBC4 to be shown in October. The six shows are Blake's 7, Adam Adamant Lives, The Tripods, Doomwatch, Star Cops, and Survivors

My ability to record stuff is very unreliable, though I'll try if someone reminds me.

I hope someone lets us know when it's on! The other programs should interest a lot of people too, though I only saw The Tripods. I should watch the ancient Star Cops tapes I got in a job lot once.

I should watch the ancient Star Cops tapes I got...

Yes. Yes, you should :)

I'd like to see the retrospective series, too.

[vilakins]

Yes. Yes, you should.

The thing is, we keep buying more DVDs than we have time to watch. I might watch a couple or eps and see if I like them enough to get on DVD. Those tapes are pretty old and I'm not even sure they're a full set.

Ooohh... if there's the slightest possible chance it might screen here (yeah, I'm optimistic!) I know I would like to see 'The Tripods' one (and B7, of course).

[vilakins]

Yes, that's the only other one I've seen. :-)

[imhilien]

Same here... I was always sad though that they never filmed the third book of the Tripods series. :-(

[vilakins]

I wonder why they didn't. I suppose the SFX got too expensive.

Ooh, wow, thanks for the heads up. That sounds really interesting.

[vilakins]

It does!

My copy of Radio Times arrives on Tuesdays, so I may be able to give you a few days advance warning.

[vilakins]

Thanks! The whole series sounds interesting.
