This is something I never thought I would have to write to you.

I am sorry to say that circumstances have arisen, that leave me no
alternative but to sever relations with the company formed to
revive, "Blake's Seven".

Terry Nation and I talked at some length about his idea for a two-
part TV Movie that might capture the imagination of a new generation,
as well as pleasing those of you who have so constantly supported his
original conception.

Since his untimely death, I have tried to realise the vision which,
in a sense, he entrusted to me.

However, I have fallen foul of modern business practice, which seems
to prefer exploitation of a, `brand', and therefore, a TV
Movie such as Terry and I envisaged seems as far off as when it was
first mooted.

Otherwise, I must quote, `artistic differences', with those
with whom I was previously in association.

This is not a Damascene revelation – I have been disturbed by the
situation for quite a while and have tried to remedy it, but my
efforts have been overruled or ignored. My position became untenable.

You will know, I hope, how deeply unhappy I am and I'm sure you
will share in my disappointment.

As somebody once said – "Every silver lining has a cloud."

Your affection and support over so many years meant a lot to Terry
– and still does to me.

Thank you.
