2018 was the year of the 40th anniversary of B7. There were events galore, and I completely went ape and went to the UK four times to take part in five of the events - a theatre outing watching (and meeting!!!) the divine Josette Simon, three location visits and the Cygnus Alpha 4.0 convention. The first of the location visits led us to Box Hill a.k.a. Xenon. While the original bridge where the killer android was electrocuted no longer exists, there is a newer one just a few yards from the former site (this time made from wood so that it cannot be elelectrified). For this outing, we were even accompanied by a very special guest (in the original costume!). Not far away is Betchworth Quarry, the scene of many a planet in B7 (and the site of countless white Jag crashes). See my photos here: https://imgur.com/a/M5CuRqj I hope they will soon be complemented by the photos of my fellow participants in this location visit. There are at least two famous group shots we did on the bridge... |

Love Og being prepared for his wonderful location shot. Think I might have passed out if I had been that close to the headless wonder though...

Many thanks for uploading these, Scott! It's good to see the pictures from the Smith & Western again, and of course the antics of the Oggies! I wonder who has the group photos that we did at the bridge - LittleSue, was that you? |

I wonder who has the group photos that we did at the bridge - LittleSue, was that you? Could well be. I liked the way our friendly android said 'Ow Do? to those two non B7 Fans..... Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Here are our two legendary group photos from the bridge: I thought dear Gary was with us that day, but he's not in the photo! Where did he go every time Muller's android put in an appearance? Vote Og.

While the original bridge where the killer android was electrocuted no longer exists, there is a newer one just a few yards from the former site (this time made from wood so that it cannot be elelectrified). Does anyone have any information about when the old bridge was removed? Various websites make the claim, but they all seem to have taken the information from Judith's hermit.org site, which doesn't give any details. Paul Darrow once said (in an interview with Joe Nazzaro) that Vere wasn't allowed to 'blow it up' because it was famous and hundreds of years old. Paul also said that he knew so because he'd lived in the area, which makes it unlikely he'd confuse it with another bridge. |
