This message appeared on the Cult TV list - can anyone help?
"I've just come back from Memorabilia at the NEC and think I've managed to stumble across something rather rare from Blake's Seven.
I bought 3 polaroid photos, each signed by Jan Chappell, at 4 quid each.
The first is a photo from Sarcophagus showing Jan in full make up, signed on the front by Jan Chappell. On the back somebody (Jan?) has written 'Original polaroid for make up purposes Circa 1979'.
The second is another photo of Jan in full make up, also from Sarcophagus, also signed on the front. This one also has, in the same handwriting as the signature, 'Sarcophagus Blakes Seven BBC original'.
The third is a location photo of Jan from Terminus, again, signed by her on the front. In pencil along the bottom, somebody has written 'Cost. Terminal Down The Hatch' and along the top it has 'Unique BBC costume polaroid 1979'.
Would I be right in thinking that these are photos that would've been taken for make up and costume tests and continuity at the time of the productions?
Does anybody know if there are many of them knocking about, or have I stumbled across a rarity?
Any ideas?"
