SHIVA PROGRAMME GUIDE
TUNE IN...
Programme Guides explore the most famous of the 7TV Studios shows and their various villainous
protagonists. In each guide we’ll explore the production, fiction and gaming aspects of each cast.
WELCOME TO 7TV
7TV is designed for cinematic style skirmish games.
If you love an old television show or film and wish you
could realize it on the table top – well, now you can!
Designed to work with the
7TV
2nd edition rules, this
guide details SHIVA – a worldwide criminal organization
of silent indoctrinated killers, led by the mysterious Guru.
SHIVA maintains a low profile, only coming out of the
shadows to strike with deadly precision. Their aims and
plan may only be known to the Guru but the effects of
his plots make the world’s headlines, even if the name of
SHIVA is not publicly attached to the thefts, murders and
extortions they carry out.
New CAST LISTs
This programme guide contains one new cast list for
SHIVA. If you choose to play a SHIVA cast you can
only choose your models from the options presented in
these pages.
You can play this cast against any other
cast created using the open casting
rules in the rulebook or with any other
programme guide cast. SHIVA cast
members have the SHIVA genre symbol above on their
cards. Each unit card you are allowed to choose also
allows you to choose any of the models on that card
unless otherwise stated.
The strange behaviour of a cabinet
minister alerts Department X to the
machinations of a mind every bit as
brilliant as Dr Solomon. But even
as they uncover a web of intrigue
reaching the very highest positions
in the country, General Gordon
himself falls under the sway of the
malevolent Guru and declares Solo-
mon and Pandora enemies of the
state!

SHIVA PROGRAMME GUIDE
MAKING SHIVA
SHIVA is an utterly evil worldwide secret criminal organization which exists only to enact the whims of its
mysterious and ruthless leader, the Guru.
The insidious organization that became SHIVA had
an inauspicious start on television when a ‘sinister
foreigner’ made an appearance in an episode of the
Confidence Club serial. Because of favourable viewer
comments, this individual received more of a fleshing
out and then turned up in
Department X And The Hands
of SHIVA
as The Guru, the leader of SHIVA – the Secret
Headquarters of International Villainous Agents. The
positive audience reaction convinced the 7TV studio
production team to develop the idea further, primarily to
have SHIVA act as a global foil to Department X.
SHIVA never had a series of its own but instead
made regular appearances on many other 7TV shows,
including ARC, the Beat and The Daredevils, as well as
starring in several full-length feature films. Early drafts
of scripts featuring any kind of secret agency were
altered to allow SHIVA to star in the plot. Predictably
an attractive female star, Kali, was created to keep the
dads watching. Kali was an English rose turned SHIVA
assassin, played by a remarkably underdressed (for the
time) Carol Munroe.
Indeed such was the prevalence of The Guru on
screen that different actors were needed to play Rodd
Aleggero’s role, this came to crisis point when he died
suddenly filming abroad. The production team turned
these face changes into part of SHIVA mythology by
explaining that The Guru could periodically ‘renew’
himself, taking a whole new body and face. SHIVA and
The Guru were suddenly capable of a lot more evil…
Scripts were developed for The Man From 2000 which
seemed to indicate that SHIVA and The Guru had been
around for a lot longer than seemed humanly possible,
with the MF2000 episode
The Sage Of Steam
strongly
hinting that Lee Christopher’s Victorian megalomaniac
was in fact The Guru. SHIVA was complete – an
eternal overlord in charge of a hidden worldwide cult
of murderers, able to match the heroes' good with
unbridled villainy!

Deep below the surface of the Earth

where the criminal organisation
SHIVA keeps assorted enemy agents,
renegade assassins, failed experi-

inmates and escape to the surface.

THE CONFIDENCE CLUB
Zen And The Art Of Murder
This is the first TV appearance
of the Guru, in a fairly low-
tech, spy-lite story set around
the swinging nightclubs of
London’s west end. Rodd
Aleggero brought a suave,
otherworldly element to his
portrayal of the standard
‘sinister foreigner’ antagonist,
which would stick in both
audience and studio’s minds.
unable to reprise his role
as the Guru due to prior
commitments 7TV stalwart Jon
Bennett was brought in to fill a
mastermind-shaped gap as the
frothing Dr Mao.
A.R.C.
Dock Salvage
In this taught, claustrophobic
game of wits between the Guru
and the glamorous Dr Melody
Lake of A.R.C., the true salvage
operation was conducted behind
the scenes by the 7TV props
department, who built a working
lunar lander from the hulk of a
vintage Churchill tank recovered
from a farmer’s field in Essex.
Book-ended by appearances by
David Nyven, this showcase for
a much younger Hemingford
Grey featured the dashing Tom
Dalton clashing with Joel Grey’s
proto-Guru against a backdrop
of stop-motion lizards literally
chewing the scenery.
THE BEAT
Unusual Suspects
The usually grim and gritty
cop show dipped its toes into
the waters of spy-fi with this
twist on the ‘maniac sniper’
storyline. Leonard Fossiter as
SHIVA’s sleeper assassin evoked
both chills and tragedy during
the climactic stand-off atop a
London double decker bus.

the heroes in the form of the
renegade Envoy Zoi.
THE TRIAL OF THE TIGER

Barron’s kung fu movie featured
Hong Kong B-lister John Chang
chopping his way through an
army of martial artists to reach
the wicked Dr Mao (standing
in for the departed Aleggero’s
Guru) in an iconic hand-to-hand
struggle atop the jungle temple
(in deepest Hertfordshire).
THE MAN FROM 2000
The Sage Of Steam
An all-time fan favourite with
its scenes of foggy Victorian
London, skulking thuggees and
freakish failed experiments,
the legendary Lee Christopher
graces the screen with a
typically smooth performance as
a possible earlier incarnation of
the Guru, complete with brass
and leather time machine.
ESCAPE FROM NAGA LOKA
This big-screen fantasy
adventure was aimed squarely
at the U.S. movie market, with
American action star Doug
Maclure at his ripped-shirt
best battling swinish SHIVA
guards and a gallery of rogues
and monsters. British co-star
Edward Fochs took a nasty
tumble into one of the ‘lava
streams’ between takes and
vowed never to work for Barron
again.
