I was overjoyed to receive a box from the USA this afternoon containing the first copy of The Star Wars Phenomenon in Britain to arrive in Great Britain. Eurospan, the European distributor is very kindly offering members of SWFUK and The Star Wars Phenomenon in Britain book Facebook group, a...

The book is definitely still happening. I've been working with the editor of the book to fine tune it to perfection. The publisher has everything it needs to bring it to print, so I'm sure that they'll get on with it ASAP. There are cheaper deals around so anyone who ordered via Amazon might...

Brilliant memories. I found this advert in a Batman comic in the U.K as a child and it was the source of many toy fantasies. I didn't realise at that time that the Palitoy play sets were different to the Kenner ones, so if I'd received one from my parents, I'd have been pretty disappointed.

This day in Star Wars history. Although Great Britain did not receive Star Wars on May 25th 1977 along with the USA, the public were introduced to the film from day one. The British publicity campaign was such an onslaught that by the time October arrived, the entire country had gone Star Wars...

I feel old, with you saying that your dad was a fan of Blake's 7 and Battlestar! I'm not sure how both will play these days, compared to modern sci-fi. I think it helps if you grew up with them. Both programmes have their fair share of duff episodes but got better as they went along. For me...

I mentioned that the Mission Galactica series was terrible except for one episode. That was the one you remember - The Return of Sturbuck. What a great one, and was the last original cast programme to be made. The only reason I slogged through the entire series and got to see "The Return of...

There have been some good calls here from people and I'd agree with everyone. The saga that meant the most to me growing up was the original series of Battlestar Galactica, that was first shown in mid-1980, timed with the nation-wide release of The Empire Strikes Back. I had already seen the...
