Two charms, one general to B7 and the other specific to watching on DVD: Firstly, one reason why I love studio-bound drama is that it makes everything feel like it's taking place on a wet Wednesday afternoon in a tiny room somewhere in west London [2], and I love the idea that Being In Space would be just as crap as ordinary life. Secondly, watching a crisp, clean print on an overlarge television lets you see just how much make-up everyone is wearing. Largo and the dreamheads in particular have trowelled on the foundation. Obviously this is because I'm watching it on a telly of far better quality than was ever intended, but I quite like the idea that in The Totalitarian Federation Future, everyone wears lots of slap to cover over their pallid space-faring or dome-bound complexions.
