| Alan: The tapes I do came about from a meeting with
Alistair Lock. He's an engineering genius. He has about 16,000 pounds
worth of equipment and has been producing plays and music for many, many,
years. I started doing the audios because it was a chance to write. We had
a ready made cast, we had a ready made audience.

 | Alan: So why not do a Blake's 7 story with Brian Croucher and Gareth Thomas and Paul Darrow and Jacqueline Pearce in. I mean it was a good idea they were good strong characters. The Logic of Empire is actually set after the final episode 'Blake' because the trouble with sequels is often you have a sequel and it ruins the original film. I hope 'The Logic Of Empire' has not ruined Blake, I think it has extended it. |

Lydon: Oh Avon please make yourself comfortable. Kelso: Oh, Hello Avon, I am afraid Elsie didn't introduce us properly early on. Avon: Didn't she? Kelso: No my name is Kelso. Some people call me Slim. Avon: Who do? The blind? Kelso: Eh? what are you inferring? Avon: I'm not inferring anything. Implying. You are the one who is inferring. Kelso: Oh. Could you say that again? Avon: Yes. Lydon: Sit down Kelso keep your brains warm.

 | The tapes are done on a very small budget. It's non profit making. The actors aren't paid, bar expenses. The money comes from Horizon which is a Blake's 7 appreciation society. It's been going since 1980 and it has about 2,000 members and they are very keen on hearing new Blake's 7, so that's who I am mainly producing it for. |
