I remember all this as a 6-7 year old...good times.

Good chat and a very interesting man

[@Eltonlaleham]

I always have said had Brian Croucher been given the role of an entirely new character in series 2 of B7, as a new henchman to arch-enemy Servalan who was by far a more interesting villain and character than Travis good as Stephen Greif was as Travis Servalan was by far more interesting than Travis. I say Colin Baker who played the villain Bayban the Butcher in series C episode of B7 City at the Edge of the World went to drama school with Brian Croucher and they are great mates they did a convention in Bedford which I sadly did not get to and also at the convention was David Banks the Cyberleader from 80s Dr Who also Sophie Aldred and Terry Molloy .The fact travis was killed off in the series B finale of b7 was no loss if he had died in series A finale when Stephen Greif was in the role it would have been much better than continuing with an established character played by another actor had Croucher been a completely new character altogether he would have been much better served in billions of ways and series B would have been better as well.

Yes you've said.

[@evacuatedspace6946]

There was another guy that played Travis though?

[@storkythepunk]

Yes, Stephen Grief, he left at the end of Season 1.

[@evacuatedspace6946]

@@storkythepunk I prefer Grief actually!

[@philipedney1931]

You can also see Stephen Grief interviewed by us on @sirensofaudio before he passed away.

[@HariSeldon913]

Nothing against Croucher, but they really should have made him a new character.

[@Eltonlaleham]

@@HariSeldon913 I agree Buddy Greif was much Travis as Roger Delgado was the Doctor,s Time Lord arch-enemy the Master and no actor who played the Master since Delgado has matched or even overshadowed Delgado and really had Croucher been cast as a new character with a new name and also Croucher was better as Borg in the classic Dr Who serial Robots of Death with Tom Baker and also I am surprised Brian Croucher was never on Dr Who again he might do a Dr Who for Big Finish hopefully.

[@Quietstormusic]

Travis as a black woman for Season 3 would have been a good twist and a lesbian.

[@AudioSirens]

Oh fabulous. Any other brilliant ideas?
