  There 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

  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.
