Going through some paperwork and finding a list of B7 credits, I found a new time-waster in making a list of each of the episode directors and which episodes they directed. Some of you probably have this sort of list, but here 'tis anyway:
Michael E Briant - The Way Back, The Web, Project Avalon, Deliverance (with David Maloney)
Pennant Roberts - Space Fall, Time Squad, Mission to Destiny, Bounty
Vere Lorrimer - Cygnus Alpha, Seek-Locate-Destroy, Breakdown, Orac, Redemption, Killer, Hostage, Countdown, Aftermath, City at the Edge of the World, Ultraworld, Moloch
Douglas Camfield - Duel
David Maloney - Deliverance (with Michael E. Briant), Star One, Powerplay
Jonathan Wright Miller - Shadow, Horizon
George Spenton-Foster - Weapon, Pressure Point, Voice from the Past, Gambit
Derek Martinus - Trial, Derek Martinus
Desmond McCarthy - Volcano, Dawn of the Gods
Gerald Blake - The Harvest of Kairos, Death-Watch
Andrew Morgan - Children of Auron
Fiona Cumming - Rumours of Death, Sarcophagus
Mary Ridge - Terminal, Rescue, Power, Animals, Headhunter, Blake
David Sullivan Proudfoot - Traitor, Stardrive, Assassin
Vivienne Cozens - Games, Sand
Brian Lighthill - Gold, Orbit
Viktors Ritelis - Warlord
I tried to discern any pattern, as we can see with the writers, but failed totally (how could the same director perpetrate Kairos and Death-Watch?) I do notice that there are less directors all told in the first 2 seasons, just as there were less writers, but OTOH, Mary Ridge directed 6 (and a mixed bunch they were too), more than many of the earlier ones.
And while I'm at it, here's the writers (which I *know* a lot of you have, but some people mightn't):
Writers
Terry Nation - The Way Back, Space Fall, Cygnus Alpha, Time Squad, The Web, Seek-Locate-Destroy, Mission to Destiny, Duel, Project Avalon, Breakdown, Bounty, Deliverance, Orac, Redemption, Pressure Point, Countdown, Aftermath, Powerplay, Terminal
Chris Boucher - Shadow, Weapon, Trial, Star One, City at the Edge of the World, Rumours of Death, Death-Watch, Rescue, Blake
Allan Prior - Horizon, Hostage, The Keeper, Volcano, Animals
Robert Holmes - Killer, Gambit, Traitor, Orbit
Roger Parkes - Voice from the Past, Children of Auron, Headhunter
James Follett - Dawn of the Gods, Stardrive
Ben Steed - The Harvest of Kairos, Moloch, Power
Tanith Lee - Sarcophagus, Sand
Trevor Hoyle - Ultraworld
Rod Beacham - Assassin
Bill Lyons - Games
Colin Davis - Gold
Simon Masters - Warlord
Interesting that the last four - four of the better episodes from S4 IMO - were all one-offs as far as the writer went.

Thank you, that felt extremely useful, though I've no idea what for. It will go in my file of things that might be extremely useful when I think of something to do with them.
