This is a begging letter... My 13-year-old daughter has just discovered Blakes 7

, but I don't want her to be left distraught by the end of series 4 as we all were

. So, does anyone have copies of Tim Pieraccini's 5th series scripts? I think they first appeared in 'Orbit'. All reasonable (and maybe some unreasonable) prices paid! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou...

The two best 'series' I've seen online are the 'Blake's Legacy' scripts (the new adventures of Avon, Vila, Soolin, Tarrant & Blake's son Nij, aboard a new Liberator) and the 'Jabberwocky' series - which is an alternate outcome to 'Terminal' where all of Series 4 was a psychic vision Cally had during the bomb blast. Cally survives and they escape off Terminal in Servalan's ship, steal an experimental Federation battleship (Jabberwocky) and are reunited with Blake & Soolin.

the 'Jabberwocky' series can be found on www.hermit.org/blakes7 under PGP fanfiction in the Library.

Yep, the hermit B.7 site got a lot of resorces as well as back issue zines to buy.

I saw a fan fiction story where in the end shootdown the Federation guards had used stun-guns and all of Avon's men survived.

I read that in the official cancelled Series 5 it was planned that of Avon and his party, those members would survive whose actors had decided to stay in the series.

The story, as it now ends after 4 serieses, to me it tends to show that in the real world everything that gets into risky situations, in the end gets into one risky situation too many; "nothing lasts for ever".

It could be that why Avon was still alive when the filming stopped was that the guards guessed that the rebel leader was to be kept for interrogation, until the guard squad leader noticed this and ordered his men "Shoot him and make sure the rest are dead. End this.".
