For the benefit of NerdyTeenGirl- the whole story of Del Grant, the mercenary from Countdown being ginger instead of a true blond is from when we were doing a non-B7 rewatch of Out of the Unknown, starring Tom Chadbon (Del Grant) and it was filmed in a sort of orange sepia tone. TT started calling Chadbon a ginger and it stuck- more than 5 years stuck- so it's been a constant joking back and forth between us and the other members of the rewatch that Del Grant is actually ginger. I know, we all need to get out more... and as to the very obscure references to Oldbury Power complex, a backdrop to many a B7 episode, we attended a convention in 2012 in Newcastle upon Tyne and in the quiz we participated in, the quiz master insisted Oldbury was located in Gloucestershire instead of Oldbury near Bristol. We complained and offered to call our friend Lorna because she worked at Oldbury and actually knew it was not located in Gloucestershire. Ah, thank you. Also note NTG that TT NEVER actually explains anything" I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Wasn’t the Commissar in the Stone Tapes,by Nigel Kneale I've got it on DVD because mainly it also has Tom Chadbon in it, but I can't remember if William Squire is in it! Resist the Host

Well thank you for a lovely rewatch. Now to get ready to watch the French Maigret on Talking Pictures. Thankfully they have subtitles because the French I was taught at school, sounds nowt like the lingo they are speaking at all!!!!

Not a great episode but without it this website would have had a different name altogether. |
