I can't believe that there are people about who have never heard of Blakes 7. What are they teaching kids at schools these days?

The oldset sci-fis I can remember are Doctor Who with Tom Baker, and Galloping Galaxies

From what I hear, Paul Darrow had bought the rights to Blakes 7, and is currently trying to get someone to make a new series.

This has been doing the rounds for ages, it was all set to go at one point but the fans weren't happy as the only original character would have been Avon..it seems to be all on hold again at the moment although there is a new programme looking back at B7 being shown in Scotland around now. Paul Darrow also writes books, but even his fans can't read them as his writing is, how shall I put it, not his forte!

Shh, I might just send you my old tapes.....(You have been warned) :rotfl:

To get this slightly back on topic...it was actually my interest in sci fi that got me started on ebay. The first things I ever sold were magazines and some odds and ends that I had picked up at conventions. If you get the right bit of memorabilia and the right fans interested there is some money to be made. However, the real money has gone now and I personally know of severla people who have spent thousands of pounds on collectables and seen the bottom completely fall out of the market.

Autographs are a good example, the bigger actors and actresses will often charge up to £10 for a signed photo at a convention, it can be difficult to even get a quarter of that back if you try and sell on ebay. Glynis signing on a Soolin photo can be worth money though only because she does it so rarely.

That's Avon played by Paul Darrow, also from Blake's 7. He is happy to be associated with the series and still does a lot of conventions to meet fans every year.

I actually thought it was Christopher Reeve for a long time (until you mentioned who it was when someone implied you were a man ). It always looked to me like a paralysed person as they have to turn their heads in that unusual 90 degree way.

I know Avon was a bit wooden ...
