RIP Paul Darrow- It might have been called Blake's 7, but the real star was Avon. Hewas also in Doctor Who and voicing a Star Wars animation- how cool can one man get?
Avon suffered from the sphinx like smile. He could never be Federation, even Blake knew that, Avon was too much the individual. Avon was always too curious about what was it was to be a man or to be human. He could never be Federation, try as hard as he might? He had the motivation of honor, now that didn't suit the Federation at all.
Girl, I knew there was something I liked about you. I ve had the same fantasy more than once I can tell you. Fanning myself just thinking about it. And he does move like a cat, I m not the only one who sees it. He s so lithe. Have you watched how he runs? Like he s pushing the air back with that one hand. Ohhh how sexy is that?
And yet, do you know, they say he is famously clumsy. This might account for how graceful he is, paradoxically, because he wouldn't see it himself. I find myself comparing him to Rhys-Meyers because he is sculpted and haughty too, but he is a pale copy, really and I am sure that comes from him being very aware of his looks. In B7 days, men didnt focus on being beautiful and now they are vain and not in a good way.
And, Avon really really has that androgynous thing going on. That thing that is slightly female but never feminine. You cannot put your finger on it (but you know you would like to).
Lol!!! I m sorry , but I just don t see the andogynous thing. Although I do know Paul is a bit clumsy. He broke some of the props way back in the days.
how can you not!! Its that whole way of standing and moving. He stands like a girl. Hands on hips, or one hand arranged on some nearby chairback...he and Servalan are mirror images. Plus, now did you notice this, right, he is always caressing phallic objects. I swear he doesn't know he's doing it. It can't be contrived, they didnt do enough takes for that.
The late Paul Darrow a brilliant actor. On stage and on tv. What a character to play in Avon. A pretty good fit to the music here too but he must have some regrets ,he just dosent admit to them in Blakes seven. A brilliant portrayal. Cally must have known but that will remain unknown unless its covered in any fan fic about Avon ;-)
this bond song of thunderball is our dear avon = avon for bond not a bad idea = great to find out that paul knew also the best bond ever in roger moore = thank you yours kat leicestershire 2021
i do wonder if dear paul ever knew ed bishop = the great commander ed straker boss of shado control = zukalis your upload is most excellent thank you = see you soon yours kerr leicestershire 2021
Paul Darrow and Patrick Mcghoohan (sorry drunk) the best non Bonds discuss? If the spelling is amiss it's 0:20 and I'm 2 bottles of Sambuxo Black Aniseed amiss and in need of a Paul Darrow fix.
Timely weighing in here 8 years on. That would be Disdainful Avon vis-a-vis Cavalier Danger Man. Like them both. Secret Agent has the cultural palette of a Goldfinger-era Bond, whereas Avon has the deadpan humor of an Octopussy-era Bond. IMMHO. Not holding my breath for a reply, but this was a great proposed discuss. C'mon people...
zukalis have just started to watch blakes 7 on the forces channel not bad at all = may i reccommend to you the series of ufo to you = i think that avon would do well as a member of shado = my commander ed straker would gladly recruit him = thanks once again yours kat leicestershire 2021
my namesake what a bond 007 avon would be = not bad i think = just like my best ed strakers paul foster = of shadon control = of gerry andersons ufo = yours kerr leicestershire 2021
Who ever put this together was a genius.
Great tribute to Paul Darrow, very well done

I've just started watching and I'm still on Series One, but so far I think Avon is the best character. I doubt I'll change my mind!
Great!
Teacher: Who was the true hero of Blakes 7?
Me: Avon!
R.I.P. Paul Darrow.

Just the best from Blakes 7. Avon was the real leader
That's Avon for ya.
A VERY fitting song for him!!!!
James Bond or Kerr Avon? I would hardly call that a dilemma. Avon. Avon. Avon. Every time.
Better looking and more charming in real life.
Brilliant! Avon was always my favourite! Thank you -x-
oh god those eyes. A face like a fallen angel. And those moves, he is so feline, almost female, even. Sure wish I could be chained in his dungeon....

revisiting many of my favourite fan videos - and yours are right up the top
I love the montage to the 007 Thunderball theme. Well done!!
What a Christian Grey he would have made. And Paul Darrow could make even a terrible story compelling
