I've just seen this about Blake's 7 being released on Blu-ray with a remastered edition. Maybe the Beeb were listening to us after all! https://gizmodo.com/blakes-7-blu-ray-remaster-doctor-who-bbc-terry-nation-2000489914

It is brilliant, isn't it? Though I have to say, I am starting to get a little annoyed by the disks constantly falling out of the packaging whenever I open it - I might have to get a second boxset as security in case any of the disks get scratched!

If it was only on Patreon then it must have got leaked because I'm not on Patreon and I saw all that stuff on Twitter. From what I recall the first inkling we got that something was up was JMS asking for CGI models on Twitter but not saying why other than it wasn't anything bad. I think TripleF...

Have you ever seen Jonathan Creek, Looney? That's a pretty good mystery show about a magician solving crimes. Indeed, my parents do like watching Dr Blake Mysteries.

I did enjoy Terrahawks as a child, but then again I was only 4. The only thing I really remember about it now is Zelda. Original Trek is in my top three shows of all time, but there are definitely episodes that are so weird as to be unwatchable. Shore Leave, The Alternative Factor, and that...

That counts me out then! Whenever I've tried to watch Space: 1999 I've always found it terribly embarrassing. Cool ships, though. UFO, on the other hand, was decent from what I remember. Always liked Ed Straker. Other than that and Red Dwarf, I generally can't get into British TV science...

I'm curious. Was there ever a reason given for why it was made in such secrecy?

After Michael Mann got bored and went off to do other things, Miami Vice supposedly never manages to recapture its former glories. I can't testify to that yet as I've only seen up to season 3. Sorry I don't have anything to contribute to Blake's 7 discussion, I've never actually seen it. The...

Yes, I think I said that :) I was more just pointing out for our friends in the US that paying the license fee isn't like subscribing to Netflix, it's basically a tax. I'm no particular fan of the BBC. There's very little that they produce that I want to watch or listen to – Match of the Day...

If this were to be done, this would be handled by the BBC's commercial arm, which recently reported revenues of around £2 billion. By law if you have a TV set in the UK you must pay the TV licence, unless you can somehow prove it's not set up to receive the BBC. So we are not customers in that...

@Looney you didn't say what your Koenig experience was! From the guest list for Fall-Con, the only three that I am familiar with are Rebecca Holden from Knight Rider, Eric Roberts obviously and Cynthia Rothrock, and I've never actually seen any of her films, not even China O'Brien.

I saw Jerry Doyle use a great deal of restraint once at a Wolf 359 con at Heathrow. During a signing everybody was using flash photography to take pictures, which began to cause him a problem, so he asked the organiser to put out an announcement asking if people could refrain from using their...

What I meant about SDCC is that (from a distance as I've never been - wrong country) it seems very heavily commercialised, like it's there to allow Hollywood and Disney and toy companies to promote their products, rather than to create a fan community experience. But I definitely agree about...

To a point, I do understand why they sometimes charge so much, because there's a going rate for autographed stuff on the secondary market, and why should they charge so little just for people to then sell their autograph for so much on eBay or whatever? I think the most I've paid for an...

Thanks for the list of contents! On closer inspection then, looks like this new streaming package is the material from the Cast Reunions blu-ray, plus the Space City Con material with the exception of Maggie Egan's panel, 'The Promise' panel from Phoenix, a bunch of new short videos, and the UK...

https://b5books.com/b5-live-streaming-4k-video/ Trying to decide whether this is worth getting. I've already got the blu-ray of the B5 cast reunion. I know there was a big boxset of DVDs (or was it CD-ROMs?) from one of the cons - do they make up the rest of this streaming package? I know...

To be honest, I've not watched The Road Home since it came out, and I even gave it a good review. I think it's just that I prefer live action at the end of the day. And I agree the soundtrack is terrible, Chris Franke could have elevated the movie so much. But I think terrible soundtracks is...

Are you enjoying it? For me it's the perfect microcosm of the 80s. Season 2 had a great episode, Out Where the Buses Don't Run, with another B5 alumni, Bruce McGill.

The B5 books in the UK were published by Boxtree, but I think they had a publishing deal with Channel 4 Books (I'm assuming C4 had the UK publishing license for Babylon 5). David Bassom, Jim Mortimore and Jane Killick were all UK-based writers (they were regulars in magazines such as Starburst)...

Wow, and an absolute bargain price as well! I take it you won this auction? Well done! Yes, this is the UK edition, there was a US edition as well with I think the Army of Light fleet on the cover.
