00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:33.060
Hello, dear listener and welcome to this special hyperspace subbeam transmission from the British Film Institute's Blake 7 screening.

2
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:41.520
We are here in the Space Corridor normally reserved for Doctor Who events, but it's been completely taken over and hijacked by Blake 7 fans, who you will not recognise at all.

3
00:00:41.579 --> 00:00:43.320
We are, I'm Pete.

4
00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:44.159
I'm Cy.

5
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:45.060
I'm Zoe.

6
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:46.140
I'm Mark.

7
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:46.740
I'm Ben.

8
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:47.399
I'm Dan.

9
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:48.780
I'm Tub, and I'm David.

10
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.420
And that's more or less 7 novers.

11
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.820
I mean, but I don't know who's Gan in his...

12
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.259
Who's the new supercomputer?

13
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.840
Super computer of the week.

14
00:00:57.899 --> 00:01:00.179
So, yeah, so we have just been treated too.

15
00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:05.400
Glorious new versions of Siklo Cake, Destroy, and Aurak.

16
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:09.719
And they did show the right versions, lots of jokes about the happiness patrol mishap from last time.

17
00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:16.739
And then lots of guests as well on stage to speak to us.

18
00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:18.420
What does everyone think?

19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.620
Well now.

20
00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:22.920
Get the ball rolling.

21
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:23.280
Okay.

22
00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:40.500
First of all, apologies to everyone who was in the audience who heard me gasp very loudly in the middle of the title sequence of Secular Gate destroyed, when I realised that the model of the Liberator was being used to replace the cutout version, and I had a bit of a moment.

23
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:57.840
Having been here for so many Doctor Who events, it's so fantastic to see Blake 7 being given the same treatment and seeing the series scrubbed up so beautifully for the 1st time.

24
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:05.280
There are things that I found out today that more film exists for this series than we knew.

25
00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:13.439
So basically everything from Cyclocate destroyed to the end of the series series A, not series one.

26
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:18.300
Oh there was a lot of that. exists apart from, of course, projects.

27
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.139
Avalon, obviously, because it's the best episode of the series.

28
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:33.900
And yeah, just seeing the new model effects in Situ was both brilliant and a very odd experience knowing the thing.

29
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:42.419
But also, we found out that when Seclocate Destroy was released on DVD, they put in some of the wrong film inserts.

30
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:50.759
So we're actually watching what is closer to the episode as broadcast than we have done in the last 20 odd years.

31
00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:57.479
Yeah, it's um, it, it, and those film sequences for me were the thing that left out the most.

32
00:02:57.539 --> 00:02:59.520
It was just the colours were so bright.

33
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:06.539
Even when they're going around that base in Seagler Cade destroyed, just even there's like the emergency signs are really bright red and things, things like that.

34
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:12.659
There's a sunset in the background or a sunrise, depending on how early or late they were recording.

35
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.560
Yeah, yeah.

36
00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:18.060
Villa doesn't look very discreet in his bright orange.

37
00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:19.620
Yeah.

38
00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:36.960
I mean, to me, to me, it's so odd to see like a even with Doctor Who or Bloke 7, like a 1970s sci-fi show looking as good as, you know, some of the other archive TV we've seen on Blu-ray, like all the ITC shows and the stuff that was shot on film.

39
00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:40.919
You can almost, there's so much film in Seek, Locate, destroy.

40
00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:41.460
Yeah.

41
00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:46.860
And we don't realise with all the all the E-Ling stuff is on film and that's all been restored.

42
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:55.139
Um, it's almost like you can kind of picture a series which is fully fully shot on film. almost.

43
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:55.919
Was it?

44
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:06.120
And the factor with all the new effects, model shots and bits of CGI as well, they seem to be quite subtly and fairly sort of integrated into everything.

45
00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:09.659
I don't think there was anything that seemed too jarringly different about it.

46
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.340
But there was, but one of the things I like the most was when you saw Space Command.

47
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.399
There was a tiny little model of the Scorpio circling around.

48
00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:19.379
I think you'll find that thing.

49
00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:21.420
Mark full planet, planet hot house.

50
00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:26.160
Oh, right, so canonics, I've cooked, so it's a generic...

51
00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:32.819
So they've added it to that, which I'm being told that while they were refilming that model of server...

52
00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:34.319
I know it's supposed to.

53
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.720
Serverland's donut spaceship was spinning around.

54
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:38.579
There's an episode title.

55
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:46.980
And but apparently a cat was trying to attack it in the in the in the shed in Belfast where it was. called a lazy Susan.

56
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.279
We need to get that in the extras, don't we?

57
00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:51.420
We need actual footage.

58
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.339
Behind the scenes footage, just the new footage beams.

59
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:54.540
The models.

60
00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:55.079
The modding in.

61
00:04:55.139 --> 00:05:01.079
The models are done by the same person that did the Happiness Patrol, Chris Thompson. from our previous trap one.

62
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.800
Who will be coming to do a maximum power with us.

63
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:08.879
Do listen learn for that before as a preview of the boxer.

64
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:17.220
Yeah, you've got us discussing here as a load of fans, but we're actually going to be interviewing some proper grown-ups who've actually been involved in making this thing. in for an upcoming maximum power special.

65
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:18.660
You heard it here, but.

66
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.939
I thought it was quite funny to have both, you know, the new and the old.

67
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:32.279
You had Matt Irvine, who was involved in some of the special effects, although not as many in series A as you'd imagine.

68
00:05:32.339 --> 00:05:34.379
And then Chris Thompson as well.

69
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:42.240
And they're both saying there's never enough time and money to do all these effects even on the new release because there's just there's like 400 odds.

70
00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:45.060
Yeah, there's a lot of shots.

71
00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:46.439
Yeah.

72
00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:51.480
And I think the, one of the best shots is Silvan's house.

73
00:05:51.600 --> 00:06:05.939
When that when that model comes off and they've got all these ships around it, got pursuit ships, it's just been lit and shot beautifully and it's like, you know, it's not a brilliant model effect in the original and it just looks absolutely gorgeous.

74
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.040
Now, all of the novel effects look gorgeous.

75
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.199
Some of the liberator flybys are just fantastic.

76
00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:21.899
It's going to take me a while to get my head used to the idea that we've got this. the crew on the ship and in 625 line glory restored to, you know, may look better than it's ever looked.

77
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.860
But then they look out of the window and outside the window, there's an HDCGI effect going on.

78
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.579
My brain is not yet clicked in on that.

79
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.500
It's like, it's almost too good.

80
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:38.339
But I know they were talking about how they've insisted on getting a real cohesive vibe for the whole year.

81
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:45.959
So I'm sure, and you're watching it through, you're going to see that and sort of sort of just sort of reprogram your brain's expectations.

82
00:06:46.019 --> 00:07:02.819
What I liked was the fact that, because I know the episode's quite well, that what they've done with the new effects is actually recreate the shots that would have been in those places quite well, but with new effects.

83
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:12.240
So, um, in Aurak, for example, where we've got the shots, mostly the 2D animation shots because they've run out of money at this point.

84
00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:14.819
We've got those cheap.

85
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:23.819
But what they've done is replicate those without so many stars in the background, but the general feel of them is the same as those shots at the start.

86
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.839
So it feels authentic in lots of ways.

87
00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:29.160
It's an enhancement.

88
00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:32.639
What I was expecting, because a lot of the Doctor Who, CGI replacements.

89
00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:35.339
There's lots of laser beams added and lots of extra bits.

90
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:36.660
There wasn't anything like that.

91
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.860
When they fire their guns, those effects are as they were.

92
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:51.060
And that's something I got, I was actually quite a little bit relieved at because sometimes laser beam effects that are added in, don't always work. they're like, yeah, they age as quickly as the original.

93
00:07:51.120 --> 00:08:00.660
Yeah, so now, like, yeah, and a 90s laser beam that was added to an 80s Doctor Who looks really out of date now more than the 80s does, but then that's because we've trained our brains to, like, the original, but yeah.

94
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:14.220
I think part of what it comes down to with a lot of these things when they remaster them is the difference between, are they doing it as we do it if we were making it today versus what would they have done then if they'd had the money or that kind of tech?

95
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.420
How did they envision it then?

96
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:16.439
Which is often quite a different thing.

97
00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:18.899
Yeah, it's been done really quite sympathetically.

98
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.199
It's not, they've not tried to do a 21st century upgrade.

99
00:08:22.259 --> 00:08:24.000
They've just gone, can we do that and make it?

100
00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:25.920
Look, there's just been a bit more spent on it.

101
00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:26.579
Exactly.

102
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:35.340
And I think the fact that they went to the effort of doing it as models rather than CGI, because that would have felt jarring.

103
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:42.419
But actually something about models with new background, new space backgrounds that just sort of works.

104
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:47.460
The other thing I enjoyed about today is the fact that we got to see it with an audience.

105
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.700
And who knew that these episodes were quite funny.

106
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.000
There was so much laughter going on.

107
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.240
Even things like in Aurac, when they get the map out.

108
00:08:57.299 --> 00:09:06.059
Someone closely burst into hysterics and I'm like, it was really... they could have put a new CGI mapping.

109
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:07.559
I'm very glad...

110
00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:12.840
Oh yes, that is exactly, yeah, imagine if she'd unfilled it and it had been a three-dimensional CGI village.

111
00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:13.740
I mean they could have done that.

112
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.779
They could have done it. glad they didn't.

113
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.259
How could you?

114
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.259
I think the biggest laugh came from Serverland's last line of Aorak, which is you're in a lot of trouble traps.

115
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.360
Just a brilliant moment, but it's just that seemed to get the biggest reaction from him.

116
00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:30.120
Well, it's overlap, obviously.

117
00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:32.159
And we've all had a line manager who's tried to do that.

118
00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:35.580
But they never did it like Jackie Pierce, did they?

119
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:47.580
But it's lovely seeing the actors in proper HD and on a big screen and you can really see what they were doing and what they were bringing.

120
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:55.919
And Gareth Thomas's intensity really came out of the screen, even if Blake is still wrong. in so many places.

121
00:09:55.980 --> 00:10:09.720
So the scenes where he's there in Seaclocate, Destroy, you really appreciate those location scenes where he's bouncing off Villa. and you've got the comedy of Villa and absolute clear cut seriousness of Gareth Thomas the whole time.

122
00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:15.659
He still feeds the lines, but with absolute sincerity, and Villa's having a bit more fun with it.

123
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.159
Michael Keating.

124
00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:24.000
There was a bit of a laugh in Cyclocape Destroy when Travis is watching Blake's torture video photos.

125
00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:29.460
And the nightmare, someone where he said, is that all the information we've got?

126
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:33.720
Yes. going through the mates of that audience.

127
00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:34.379
Yes.

128
00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:36.059
It was a bit smutty.

129
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.879
Yeah, of course, just me then before that.

130
00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:39.840
No, no, no.

131
00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:41.759
Does someone have to say it out loud?

132
00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:43.500
We've all seen his kung face.

133
00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:47.820
I wasn't going to go there.

134
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.019
Sorry, everybody.

135
00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:53.759
It was a Radakum face.

136
00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:54.179
It was okay.

137
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.539
It was Torax and bangs and leaks comfy.

138
00:10:58.259 --> 00:11:05.639
The bit I'd never noticed before, because obviously they teleport down, and Villas went to speak, and Blake says, you know, basically quiet, you've got to be quiet.

139
00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:10.139
He then launches into basically this detailed set of instructions quite loudly as well.

140
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.659
I was like, you've just told Villa that, you know, silence is essential.

141
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.580
And then you leap into this whole thing.

142
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.519
And they also never notice how wobbly the robot head is.

143
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:19.620
It's in HD.

144
00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:20.639
It's on the big screen.

145
00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:22.440
The robot was not replaced.

146
00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:27.179
The ship robot shipbot 5000 carries on.

147
00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:28.919
You can still see the wire.

148
00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:29.759
You can see the board.

149
00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:34.139
But if they tried, it would have just been sad, wouldn't it?

150
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.440
And it was great having Sally and Jan on stage.

151
00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:43.019
They just seem to have paused the passage of time about quite a few years ago.

152
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:47.940
They just look magnificent. 47 years, I say. 48, there was debate.

153
00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:55.980
And one of the questions they were asked about, I remember someone asked them, what did you notice most?

154
00:11:55.980 --> 00:12:05.639
And it was that thing of the time, I can't remember who it was, who said it, but it was the tiny micro movements in actors' faces that on the big screen looked so much...

155
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.539
Okay, it was Jan, because she was saying, I felt like a telepath.

156
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.919
I'm mind reading them because I can see exactly what he's thinking from that tiny movement of his eye.

157
00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:17.940
Jan Chappell did reveal today that she is actually a child as well.

158
00:12:18.059 --> 00:12:18.659
Sometimes.

159
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.740
Yes.

160
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:25.019
When the plot calls for it, and the budget...

161
00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:31.860
I'd nipped to the loo between episodes, and I was at the cubicle, and suddenly I realised that I could hear voices, and it was the 2 of them.

162
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:36.899
They were in the cubicles either side of me and they were just having a chat and I couldn't go.

163
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:41.460
I mean, this is not something that I prepared myself for.

164
00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:46.919
Sorry, TMI, but yeah, that's a fan experience.

165
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:50.879
But yeah, we had a whole series of guests today.

166
00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:59.639
So we had Matt Irvin and Chris Thompson, which is really good, but we also had Jan Chappell and Sally Nemette and Roger Murray Leach, which was really good.

167
00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:02.700
So Roger had a lot to say about making the series.

168
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:12.360
And about the disrespect with which his sets were treated by the by the scene sisters because they hated them because they weren't flat so they could just easily stack away at the end of the day.

169
00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:16.740
They had to they had to put them in the they were much, much more hard work to put away.

170
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.259
So they tended to just fling them about from the sound of things.

171
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.740
Even Jan looked really, really angry about that.

172
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.879
Just what?

173
00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:24.960
They crashed them into walls.

174
00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:26.639
Yeah.

175
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.500
I mean, watching that, watching the liberator say on the big screen.

176
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.980
I do wonder how they even made Zen or made it all fits together.

177
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:38.399
Yeah.

178
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.860
Because it's so much more complicated than...

179
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.320
And that nobody broke it during the course of the 3 years.

180
00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:44.100
Yeah, yeah.

181
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.159
It explains how battered it looks by the end of the series.

182
00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:49.320
The corridor bits all the little stripes.

183
00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:53.340
They're all coming off. and all the corners of the worktops.

184
00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:53.879
Yeah.

185
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.899
Space Watch.

186
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.720
It stood up quite well considering how big a screen we were watching.

187
00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

188
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:15.600
And it was lovely to hear Sally Nevette talk about the 2 men who were down at the down at her flight seat, holding the angle boys' land so that she could do standard by 4 acting without the set fall into places after she broke it.

189
00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:21.480
I still don't know how the system speed works, because they're fleeing for their lives and they go, and Gang goes, stand up by six. 6 or five. yeah, whatever.

190
00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:22.799
Just saunter away.

191
00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:37.860
And we got one other thing we got was some previews of other moon balloon content coming up on the Blu-rays. including Stephen Grief, getting a full buyer, which looks really good.

192
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.399
There was the original interview footage with him, Intercut with people talking about him now.

193
00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:44.879
As is usual in these extras.

194
00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:46.320
His son is quite beautiful.

195
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.139
It's becoming a thing, isn't it?

196
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.100
Yes.

197
00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:54.120
There was a bit of a...

198
00:14:55.139 --> 00:15:06.299
But no, we've just had the Dot Who fans, the Graham Williams documentary, which was really sensitively handled, had like contributions from his family, from his friends.

199
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:17.519
So to do that with some of the missing actors of Blake Seven. hopefully, again, if there's a series B, Blu-ray, that would be really, really, really good.

200
00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:22.980
Yeah, because as Jan and Sally was saying, they're the last 2 standing now.

201
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.139
So although Michael Keating is still with us.

202
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:26.700
He's not well.

203
00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:32.159
And they're carrying the torch for the for the earliest part of the series now.

204
00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:35.159
And so there are lots of people who need to be remembered.

205
00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:41.100
With Stephen, it's still quite, it's not very long ago that he passed away.

206
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.700
So this would be quite raw for anyone sort of talking about him.

207
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:51.179
And Justin Johnson got to read out on stage letters from Peter Tunham's family and Dave Jackson's family.

208
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.019
David Jackson's wife.

209
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:53.639
That's right, yes, yeah. which is really nice.

210
00:15:53.700 --> 00:15:59.399
Yeah, just to hear how much he loved being in the series because we don't hear his voice so much now.

211
00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:00.480
Really?

212
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:00.899
Yeah.

213
00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:05.879
So yeah, bring on the next three, basically.

214
00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:13.799
Yeah, we had we had a lovely montage of motor work and music, which was really lovely.

215
00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:18.360
So I've got some sneak peeks of what's become in some of the episodes that we haven't seen yet.

216
00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:21.899
Can we talk about the choice of episodes?

217
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.519
Yeah, of course.

218
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:33.179
A lot of people were saying, seeklocate, destroy, you know, such an amazing episode, great re, you know, they use the soft reboot of the series, serve land for the 1st time.

219
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.120
I don't think in the comments anyone was expecting Aurac.

220
00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:38.759
I don't think anyone picked all rag.

221
00:16:38.820 --> 00:16:42.240
No, but I guess, I mean, it's the finale, although, yeah.

222
00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:43.379
And it stood up quite well, yeah.

223
00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:47.340
There's the film sequences, there's a tiny bit of effects.

224
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.740
I guess everyone has their own favourite episode of the series that they like to see on the big screen.

225
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.659
I suppose because it's quite film heavy.

226
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.740
It was maybe what Sweden?

227
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.519
I did wonder that.

228
00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:59.820
Yeah, they've done a lot of work on the, yeah, and it really shows off the work on the film.

229
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:01.139
The sound quality is really good too.

230
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.600
It's not stereo, is it, from what we were saying.

231
00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:06.539
It feels like they're just they haven't probably had the elements to do that.

232
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:07.079
No.

233
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.480
Like, uh, like, they can't be ages got clues.

234
00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:14.460
The raw film sounds, which we didn't know, again, existed.

235
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.180
So Marquez was able to use that to replace dialogue wherever possible.

236
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.799
Yeah, it's pristine.

237
00:17:19.859 --> 00:17:21.240
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's pristine quality.

238
00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:21.720
Yeah, yeah.

239
00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:32.400
I suppose the only downside is you have people like Sally and Paul that didn't really have a great much to do in the episodes.

240
00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:35.579
No, Sally was on teleport duty.

241
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.299
Oh yeah, I know.

242
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.519
And she said in the interviews, didn't she?

243
00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:45.839
But by that point, she'd already been telling them that she wanted to leave and she was not, there's no way to persuade us to stay, but they still, they forced her to stay for another year.

244
00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:47.339
She was contracted.

245
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.740
Yeah, and they, but because of that, they were sort of parking her character. which is really unfortunate.

246
00:17:52.799 --> 00:18:00.539
Such a shame she never got. proper end because it was just, you know, she just disappears and there's that throwaway line in black.

247
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.500
Jenna's gone with play.

248
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:01.859
Yeah, exactly.

249
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:07.500
And then they throw away right in the very last episode in that like, oh, Jenna, oh, she went off and that's it.

250
00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:10.200
It's never really quite, you know, and she was such a good character.

251
00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:12.180
It's so insist that she's still alive.

252
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.440
Yes, that's true.

253
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.700
I've seen her body.

254
00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:17.640
She's concerned Jenner is still with us.

255
00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:21.900
Does that mean the Blake finish, the big finish story isn't Canon?

256
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.359
With the one with their K?

257
00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:26.339
Oh, I don't know what the rules often like.

258
00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:30.000
We've only got 3 hours to go.

259
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.660
So, I hope you've enjoyed this taster.

260
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:34.980
Anything else we've forgotten to mention?

261
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.880
I think we've covered it.

262
00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.119
Yeah.

263
00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:41.819
So, yeah, I hope you enjoyed hearing what we've been up to here today and that you'll enjoy the Blu-rays if you get a chance to see them.

264
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:50.819
We'll be back on maximum power with some interviews with the Blu-ray producers and contributors in a special episode coming not too far away.

265
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:56.519
And following that, The 4th series of Blake 7 is awaiting us.

266
00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:58.559
It's even really interesting.

267
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.059
The D series.

268
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.480
So hope you'll listen again. and until then, we'll see you around.

269
00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:06.180
I would just like to say that breaking news.

270
00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:12.119
I did speak to Lee Binding and complain that series A was not put on the bing.

271
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:21.059
And he did reveal that he did originally on his cover design, put series A, but was told by the BBC that it had to be series one.

272
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:27.059
So it's the tyranny of iPlayer or just people's expectations.

273
00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:31.079
So hopefully we'll get alternative series 8 artwork that we put over.

274
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:32.880
Reversible. stickers.

275
00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:36.839
Goodbye from us here on that bombshell.

276
00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:39.299
Goodbye from the VFI.

277
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:39.720
Bye bye.

278
00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.619
Bye.

279
00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:49.140
Switching to Manny.

280
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.299
Maximum power on all drives.

281
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.819
Maximum power.
