Armadacon
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2007
Armadacon is probably the South West's longest running Sci-fi Multi-Media Convention. Held in Plymouth since 1988, this Channel is dedicated to the activities of those Conventions. Armadacon is quite possibly unique as it's the only known series of Conventions that has a centralised archive.
Armadacon 2023: Charity Auction (Highlights)
Possibly the strangest Auction anywhere. Sometimes, people don't bid to buy. They bid to palm something onto some one else, at an inflated price!

Thanks to Nev Fountain for the candid behind the scenes story of Death Comes to Time.
What is up with all the rude listeners who can't ever remember to turn their cell phones off and keep their mouths shut at these sessions?
You've listened to all the great Klingon operas, now get ready for Klingon SOAP opera! Excellent work everyone, you've brought honor to your houses
Servalan was the best female arch-enemy in sci-fi ever
I have always been curious about the status of the arch-enemy Servalan,s name she is only known by one name was it her first name or last name or only name she had
I have always said the arch-enemy Servalan was the best character in B7 and I cannot see B7 without Servalan as the arch-enemy in B7 and she was awesome
I wish I could sit in a little pub or in a little kitchen with a fireplace and listen for hours to this Master of stories!
A treasure of a storyteller,a Bard in other times! Huzzah!Huzzah!

Never forget Servelan 💖💖💖💖
Great Stories !
He was born in my home village of Horden in County Durham, North East of England
Life's pretty shit without Jacqueline around.
Great guy.
Wonderful interview. I could listen to him all day.
Ha, 😁
Too quiet, can't hear this
The pig doesn't get up to greet Servalan ?
It would make a better cartoon than a novel but I've learned to appreciate them like I do B horror movies from the eighties fell in love with the pictures on the covers at around age twelve, the pulpiest pulpl I've ever read.
First rule of Fight Club is...
In the age of technology, lousy audio People are such slobs, never dress up anymore, like the whole world is their living room
And this is the one where Lionel auctions the book Powersphere, written by one Leo Brett, with a little explanation as to how the Badger books were written!
It's always nice to hear Lionel sharing his stories!
Good to see Lionel's still hale and hearty!
Tear down the mountains!
It was fun
You might want to spell her name correctly.
Bless her she was a heavy smoker like Blake and Avon, smoking took her life, Blake's life and Avon's legs.
She was 70, a perfectly respectable age to die. Gareth Thomas was 71 when he died. Lots of people that do not smoke die before they reach 70. Why blame smoking for taking their lives? Do you think it is better to reach the age of 95 without having smoked, but living in a care home for over 20 years because you can't take care of yourself anymore and are totally demented?
@@pihoihoi And don't forget the late great comedian George Burns who was 101 when he died and he smoked cigars every day
I hadn't heard that she too was a smoker. What a shame to lose those three from the same cause. There's a lesson...hopefully
@@pihoihoi Gareth Thomas was very ill very overweight with heart disease and was a heavy smoker. Paul Darrow had his legs amputated. You carry on thinking smoking is harmless and did not contribute to their ill health.
Just read your comment, yes you are right smoking did shorten her life, She suffered with emphysema, type 2 diabetes and finally lung cancer all being related to smoking. everybody knows somebody who smokes with no ill effect ! Absolute rubbish.
Finally found a Mary Gentle interview. The Book of Ash books have hooked me.
Lovely charming man
she's like Siouxsie Su really.
HBO should make a tv series out of the Necroscope books.
ANDREW LAWDEN was NOT a stunt double on any of the Star Wars movies, he was NOT taught how to use a Lightsaber, he was a stand in for lighting purposes, ANDREW LAWDEN is a complete fake when it comes to lightsaber fighting and knows nothing whatsoever about it - Don't be fooled. Nick Gillard Stunt coordinator - Sword Master.
