Yay for Red 17 guest Lynette Nusbacher on new TV - season 2 of Abandoned Engineering started on Yesterday about five minutes ago! I should have given a heads-up, but at least there's a +1 Channel and there'll be reruns over the week.

One of the things that I was thinking on the way home from Redemption is that it'd be cool if there was such a thing as an Old Hollywood convention type of thing, or even a mini-con. With ancient SF like Flash Gordon, the great swashbucklers, silents, expressionism, and all that...
Back from Redemption 17 - was many fun panels and stuff, but very knackering, and messed with the regimen that maintains my blood sugar stability more than I expected (and more than SCA events, because I had less control over what was in the meals), so I must bear that in mind for future conventions. But it was also great to do talks and panels and stuff on things I know about again! (Since I didn't get to any conventions in 2016)
Saturday Guest Announcement
We're also pleased to announce that one of our one-day guests, on the Saturday, will by film archivist/curator Miranda Gower-Qian. Miranda is an independent film programmer and MA graduate in film curation. Having studied under Professor Laura Mulvey, Miranda specialises in silent film curation as criticism and is particularly interested in the materiality - and intertextuality - of film. She has written about the significance and utilisation of the human body in deriving audience perception in silent film, something that she believes translates significantly to ideas about the fluidity of film through time and space. Hopeless cinephile and moustache enthusiast. She was also responsible for programming the Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley's first Silent Film Festival in July 2016, a festival planned to to continue this year.
A quick note that there will be a postal PR for Redemption 17 at the end of this month, which will cover things like travel details to the venue, the membership list, and so on and so forth for convenience, though these will, of course also shortly be available online.

A Redemption 17 guest is on BBC Four tonight - sadly the last episode of the series. And no, it isn't Gregg Wallace - it's Dr Lynette Nusbacher.
We're never going to forget our original core shows, and Red 17 is the closest Redemption to the 40th anniversary of Blake's 7 – which is actually in January 2018. So we'll be celebrating that anniversary a little early, with - among other things - a look at the very first episode, and a vote among attendees as to their favourite episode of the series...
There is a new general Redemption conventions Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/redemptionconvention and a Redemption 17 Event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/494283660742777/
There will be a Christmas Blitz of fun stuff on there, and we encourage people to share and invite and generally talk to us there about the conventions.
