Thank goodness, we won’t have to hear Blow by the wind Southerly again! LOL

The Quex Bell Tower has twelve bells, actually. Unusual in that it's not attached to a church - presumably it was mainly for campanologists to have fun!

I love that period in history. Helped along by having been an heraldic artist for years. What the rich folks went through to get somewhere.

it's a bit of an oxymoron. Rather like my (not) favourite TV ad at the moment which talks about fatal and non-fatal drownings...

Aw, it's a classic!

Gosh, how extraordinary. But does rather support the idea of Sarkoff behaving the way he does.

That's exactly right. John P liked the sound of bells, and these are for the pleasure of campanology without any religious attachment.

The heraldry is amazing - that must have been a great job. It's the combination of things that are completely universal and human and things that are utterly alien that always gets me about the middle ages (and, before that, about ancient Rome).

They must have enjoyed themselves finding the most unlikely recordings for Sarkoff to revere.

Um…. OK…..

Just while I think of it, Travisina did you manage to find out anything about the BRITs sci-fi event?

My dentist had a notice about joining their Dental Health Prevention Programme. Always worried me.

This room in Liberator with the balsa wood and paper dome thingo is interesting. Wonder what it's meant to be?

I love that Blake has a reason for trusting Vila. I think of this when he says at the end of series 2 that he’s always trusted Avon.

Those must be the most inefficient Federation guards ever - presumably guarding Sarkoff was where you sent all those incompetent troops you couldn't get rid off.

I've wondered whether it's some kind of engine room. It doesn't look like storage. Maybe it's the wardrobe room, and that's the Random Costume Generator?

...and the doctor had one that said 'Interested in Schizophrenia? Call - '

Sheesh! (shakes head).

Sort of not-quite on the subject of bells, one of the most evocative sounds in Jerusalem are the Muezzins at dawn. I was so disappointed to find out that most of the time it was a recording, rather than an actual person!

It looks as if it should spin, a bit like Slave.

There's a section in the original script, that didn't make it on screen - but IS now in the novelisation - about Sarkoff having a cigarette case in his collection and explaining to Blake that people used to smoke.
Given that Terry was himself a heavy smoker (it's what did him in), and how commonplace this was in the 70s, it's quite remarkable that we only ever see one person in B7 smoking.

Interesting too, that the sole smoker appears very late on, in series 4.

LOL Classic.

When I was working, they used to semi regularly send everybody off on harassment refresher courses. I always wondered why they were so insistent on making sure everybody knew how to harass people. LOL
