No, would never have predicted B4 & 1/2 w/o Blake as a Potter cross 
over!

I was a huge fan of Avon in my yoof, even went to see him perform in 
a play ..... MacBeth!!! It was so bad I had to leave the performance 
before the first interval...haven't seen an episode of B7 since....

Have noticed that Rodney in SG Atlantis *is* Vila.

Hum, Avon as a HP fan (secret of course), Vila would like Madame 
Whiplash.....

Thanks for sharing ;)
