Amazingly I pulled
this link from Fatty's site;

Hmm, tempting, but haven't all sorts of problems been reported with these discs?

I was tempted too, but I think I'll hold out for the Quantum Leap set in a few week's time on R1 :)
I did hear of a few problems with the B7 sets, although I've no idea how widespread the problems were.

Fairly widespread - basically they've tried something new with the layer change, (linked to seamless braching I believe) which has backfired in that the discs freeze up on the layer change. It seems this problem isn't limited to cheap players - anything from the £50 to the £750 players are having this problem.
There is supposed to be a repressing (although the BBC haven't officially said this), but no-one knows when it's actually happening.
My advise would be to hold - after all, it's only Blakes 7 :)

I'm sure I can divert the funds elsewhere ;)

I shall probably be buying Alias S2 soon, so can live without B7
(who am I kidding with the "probably")
