We are sad to announce the death, aged 84, of Barry Letts.

Barry Letts was a talented Actor, Director, Producer and Writer - probably best known as Producer of Doctor Who from 1969-1974. However, Barry was probably best known to the world of Blake's 7 fandom as the writer of the two BBC Radio Dramatisations 'The Sevenfold Crown' and 'The Syndeton Experiment'. His contribution to so many of our favourite shows was far-reaching and he will be sadly missed as a writer and performer as well as a being a charming and unassuming gentleman, as those of us who were lucky enough to have met him would confirm.

Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Welcome to blakes7online.com, the new home of Horizon the Blake's 7 Appreciation Society.


Why have we moved? Please read OUR FORUM POST, which will explain our sudden and unannounced relocation. It will also explain why, if you were a member of the old Horizon site at horizon.org.uk and you want to stay with us, you will have to RE-REGISTER with us.

We are still hurriedly building this new site, but we thought we should restore access to the forum as soon as possible, so put on your hard hats and mind all the builders - this is currently a construction zone!

Any problems and/or bugs you find that are not obviously to do with setting up content (i.e. not just formatting issues or lack of pictures), please report them in the TECHNICAL FORUM, thanks.

Members can now make and vote in their own polls in our new USER POLLS forum - so if you've ever desperately wanted to find out whether other B7 fans loved or hated Og or the Kairopan spider, now's your chance!

Thanks to the incredibly creative Rob Emery (also responsible for the B7 smileys and the Liberator favicon), we are once again able to offer you the B7 cursors to brighten up your desktop.

Non-members can download the "taster" Liberator cursor as a zipfile HERE.

Members who are logged in can download the full set (including the updated Liberator) as a zipfile HERE.

Both zipfiles contain the .cur/.ani files and a .txt file explaining how to install and uninstall the cursors in Windows XP. No .exe files needed or included.

WARNING: These cursors were designed for Windows XP. They appear to work in Vista, but in any other OS than Win XP you use them entirely at your own risk.
