Other bits & pieces

Some nice things:

1. I have been catching up with some Big Finish, and have been listening to some more Eight and Lucie (I wish they weren't so much shorter - it makes them terribly more-ish!). I got to The Zygon Who Fell to Earth and was interested to see it had Steven Pacey in (who is, of course, Tarrant in Blake's 7). I wondered what he'd

Heehee!

Eight'n'Lucie are awesome!

[lost_spook]

Oh, they are! I've listened to The Skull of Sobek, Grand Theft Cosmos, and, as I said, the one with Tarrant the Singing Zygon Wurzel. :-)

LOL

I've spent 5 hours today listening to 'Galiifrey IV'... It was BRILLIANT!

[lost_spook]

Cool! I am so far behind on all BF's main ranges, I don't think I will ever get to any of the spin-offs, but Gallifrey always sounds fun.

(I have actually been listening to something else, which will be my next post, cos oh my, I managed to get my hands on Pt 5 of Kaldor City! :-D And you know my insane love of Blake's 7, The Robots of Death and Image of the Fendahl...)

Who is that in your icon? Because she is gorgeous...

[lost_spook]

:-D She is, yes. That is Josette Simon as Dayna in the rather old and creaky (but v wonderful) UK sf series Blake's 7.

LUCIE ♥ Oh, how I love her. I don't want Eight to rejoin the main range and get a new companion :(

I am not sure about the existence of video (my guess is no, if only because historically, West End shows are a lot harder to film than Broadway ones), but there is a cast recording from that production (which I can probably procure if you'd like).

[lost_spook]

Heh. I am still not quite at the end of S2 with them, so I have a way to go yet, so that won't be a problem for a while - can't he take her with him to the main range? Hmph. I'd rather he could get Charley back if he rejoined the main range, because I am not happy at her ending. It was very unsatisfactory. (And I remember you prefer Lucie - I love them both! - but there is something about the combination of Paul and India's voices that I just adore, never mind anything else.)

And thanks! I shall have to investigate, but will let you know if it proves difficult! I suspect you're right about the video, and I don't know how long ago it was. There is a Steven Pacey fan website and they have pics, but no video clips.

Thread jumping to say Eight can't take Lucie with him because Sheridan's MUCH too busy having a FABULOUS theatre career, darling!

(She won an Olivier for her role in 'Legally Blonde' and she's now in Terrance Rattigan's 'Flare Path'.)

B7 IS SO OBVIOUSLY A POP GROUP. Definitely. ;-) This explains masses of stuff.

...what about Orac?

[lost_spook]

Oh, yay! Have you been watching more of it? :-D

Orac... um. Either the crazy manager/agent or the really random technical guy who blacks out the lights in the middle of a concert when he's miffed. Or bored.

ETA: Which I suppose would make Zen the laid-back, enigmatical driver. Who is later replaced by Slave, who is probably an East End criminal and ex. London cabby. Or something...

B7 is hard rock, not pop, just going by Avon's black leather, LOL. I remember that the American fans and fanzine producers, Leah Rosenthal and Ann Wortham, wrote and drew a whole series of wonderfully bizarre B7 tales (satirical, but not far off the mark in how they played with details already there), including Avon getting the chance to be a snarly, spiky, punky rock star. Great stuff. ;-)

[lost_spook]

Yes, sorry. It's definitely glam rock... :lol:

Heh, I can believe it!
