Gauda Prime Day

[altariel]

kalypso_v remembers that it is Gauda Prime Day - the twenty-third anniversary of the screening of the last episode of Blake's 7.

At the time, I was a bright-eyed nine-year-old, with a hope-filled heart and faith in human nature. Fifty minutes of television changed all that. When the credits rolled at the end of the episode, I sat gawping at the screen for a bit, and then ran upstairs and had a big cry. Hurrah for the Christmas spirit!

I was relatively ancient but still shocked. I don't think any series that was even vaguely good vs bad (and it was, though the good guys were by then fairly tarnished) had ever ended so bleakly, let alone 4 days before Christmas.

No, I can't think of anything like it.

The end of the second season of Robin of Sherwood, and Robin's subsequent (implied) resurrection, was transmitted around Easter. I think there was a flurry of indignation about that.

Bwahaha!

I hadn't heard about that. What brilliant timing.
