| 111 | (Dec. 2003.) On page 14 is a picture of Avon with the headline: Avon
Not Calling! Basically Dreamwatch reprints Darrow's letter of October 9,
2003, and then adds this note which I will type out for you. His announcement has not deterred producer Andrew Sewell, however, who tells Dreamwatch: "I think that you can safely say that whilst Paul's decision is regrettable, it dos not adversely effect the project going forward. We continue to enjoy the full support of Kate Nation (Terry's widow) and the final judgement of our proposed realisation will ultimately rest with the finished production."

These Dreamwatches don't have much B7 in them: 4, 5, 10,11, 36, 40, 43, 44, 46, 50, 51, 52, and 53. 50,52, and 53 have video reviews.
Before this, I believe only TV Zone has had a special article on the anniversary which was late 2002, if I recall correctly.
However, I am sure season 3 and 4 people will be disappointed because the emphasis is almost solely on the season 1-2 cast. For instance, Tarrant, Dayna, and Soolin are never mentioned nor are there any pictures of them.
The big PLUS for me, however, is that there is a second article within these three pages called "Blake's Heaven" which is a Gareth Thomas interview by Sharon Gosling. With this second article are three pictures of Blake and one of Thomas. And while there is also not a lot new with this interview, I still enjoyed reading it.
Following are some brief excerpts:
Q: Do you think a Blake's 7 movie is ever going to happen?
A: I don't know. There's talk of it, isn't there? I honestly don't know.
If it does it's got nothing to do with me anyway, because I'm dead. [Laughs]
Q: You recently returned to the Blake's 7 universe to work on the extra
features for the show's upcoming DVDs...
A: Yes, I spent a day doing some DVD stuff. (I'm not recounting the whole
answer.)
Q: As you mentioned earlier, there's been a lot of talk over the years
about bringing Blake's 7 back as a mini-series or even a movie. Do you think a
revival could work?
A: I don't know, and I don't even know what the movie is supposed to be
about. (I'm cutting the rest of this paragraph.)
I don't think it would work if they called it Blake's 7. If they
tried to do something fairly similar it might work, as long as they didn't call it
Blake's 7. (I've cut the rest of this paragraph as well.)
IF you get a chance to buy Dreamwatch 109, I recommend it. If it is still on the newstands in the UK, I'm sure it's only going to be there for a short while longer. If you are an American, it will probably turn up fairly soon in the local Barnes and Noble type of bookstores. I have no clue how you order this on the internet as I do not have any urls for a Dreamwatch website. I have urls for Starburst, TV Zone, and SFX, but not Dreamwatch.
