Yep, it's worthless crap - very inaccurate, and physically badly made.

They were all like that

I can't believe the Nostromo got in and the Klingon Bird Of Prey didn't...

Jenni asked: "Does anyone have an opinion of a book called
"The Making of Blakes 7" by Adrian Wrigglesford (I think)?"
Adrian Rigelsford, actually. Boxtree put this out a few years
ago. It's got some nice pix and an episode guide, but I found it
rather tedious to read. One for completists only IMO. For a
better programme guide, Marvel did a Blake's 7 Winter Special
edited by Gary Russell. It's a magazine with full episode guide
and bits of nice background. There's a B7 comic story in the
middle called Blockade!, plus the planned lyrics for the Blake's
7 theme tune that were written for the fourth series with the
idea that Steven Pacey would sing them. Vere Lorimer wrote
the lyrics, but it was never sung. The magazine often turns up
in dealer rooms. It cost #2.99 initially, but a good condition
one would probably set you back anything up to a tenner.

Tradgedy, isn't it? I can't even remember what the Nostromo looked like -
it certainly wasn't distinctive, or a prominent player or anything. Where
did the spacecraft Thunderbird go? (3 I think it was. And couldn't 1 go
spacebound as well? So that would count)

Yeah, I picked it up at Uncle Hugo's a while back. I wouldn't pay massive
amounts of money for it, but it's worth looking at. Lots of nice pictures,
and it has a nice overview of how filming was done.
