Lines: 39 From: Michi WadaThere are fans of Blake's Seven in the U.S. and they have just recently held Scorpio 3, a Blake's Seven convention in Chicago during the first weekend in July. Guests were Gareth Thomas (Blake), Sally Knyvette (Jenna), Brian Croucher (second season Travis) and Sheelagh Wells (makeup artist, Mrs. Gareth Thomas). Last year in Chicago, Scorpio 2 had as guests Paul Darrow (Avon), Michael Keating (Villa), Brian Croucher (second season Travis) and Terry Nation (Creator of Blake's Seven). There will be a Scorpio 4 sometime in August of 1986 in Chicago. The above named people have promised to come to Scorpio 4, barring any professional committments. Scorpio is the name of both the Blake's Seven club and convention. For further information write to Scorpio 4064 Appleby Lane Richton Park, Ill. 60471 Blake's Seven will be seen in the U.S. starting this fall. Some of the stations who will be showing them are Santa Fe, N.M. ch. 2 local commercial station New Hampshire ch. ? PBS station San Jose, Calif. ch. ? PBS station Bellingham, Wash. ch. 12 ? There are other stations who will be showing them, but my friend couldn't recall the rest of the list. It may be showing in Philadelphia, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Blake's Seven was about 56 minutes long in England. The PBS stations will run them uncut, but the others will probably be cut down to fit in all those commercials.
