Blake's 7 : The Movie - A Message From Paul
This is something I never thought I would have to write to you.
I am sorry to say that circumstances have arisen, that leave me no alternative but to sever relations with the company formed to revive, "Blake's Seven".
Terry Nation and I talked at some length about his idea for a two-part TV Movie that might capture the imagination of a new generation, as well as pleasing those of you who have so constantly supported his original conception.
Since his untimely death, I have tried to realise the vision which, in a sense, he entrusted to me. However, I have fallen foul of modern business practise, which seems to prefer exploitation of a 'brand', and therefore, a TV Movie such as Terry and I envisaged seems as far off as when it was first mooted.
Otherwise, I must quote, 'artistic differences', with those with whom I was previously in association. This is not a Danascene revelation - I have been disturbed by the situation for quite a while and have tried to remedy it, but my efforts have been overruled or ignored. My position became untenable.
You willknow, I hope, how deeply unhappy I am and I'm sure you will share my disappointment. As somebody once said - "Ever silver lining has a cloud".
Your affection and support over so many years meant a lot to Terry - and still does to me.
Thank you.

Can't really blame "PAUL" for this - as "B7E" weren't exactly fair to the members who were registered on their "official website Forum" - which is now closed and which they didn't even to tell anyone it was shutting down, not too mention their "AMS's" evasive behaviour, etc!
