Second paragraph of third section (a short story, "Energy Eater", by Mike Wild, originally commissioned for the "real" 1982 Blakes 7 Annual before it was cancelled):

Avon picked himself up from the floor and looked around. The others were all there: Dayna, slumped forward over a console; Tarrant, spread-eagled near the weapons station; Vila and Sooh-Ling [sic], half-sat, half-lying against a bulkhead like two rag dolls. Avon scowled, his feelings of confusion turning to anger. They had been attacked without warning. Somthing had cut them down as easily as if they were puppets whose strings had been severed.

Well. Here we are. Forty years on, just in time for the Christmas market, is the Blake's 7 annual we never got in 1981 thanks to the entire cast being killed off on Gauda Prime Day. It's 250 pages of sheer fannish goodness, roughly equally composed of features about the show and original fiction (including by of this parish), also with some gorgeous art. I enjoyed it immensely, including the What Happened to Jenna story, the story of Servalan's daughter, and the reminiscences of people involved with making the show, especially Michael Keating. There are good pieces on the special effects, the locations and of course the magazine. It was also interesting to discover (though I'm aware that this has been well known for years in the community) that the production team were hoping against hope that Jan Chappell would change her mind and do at least a few episodes as Cally before being killed off; originally in Animals, it would have been her rather than Dayna who was Justin's former lover, which would have been a lot less skeevy.

But look, if you loved Blake's 7 back in the day and you wish there had been one last annual in your Christmas stocking forty years ago, go over to Lulu and order yourself a copy. It's not cheap; but it is worth it. I'm nominating this for the BSFA Awards in the Non-Fiction category, and I hope you will too.
