Stam Fine: Blake's 7 (1978-1981). The Great British Blake Off.

Post by Nutso »

Stam Fine Reviews looks at the BBC Science Fiction Classic Blake's 7, created by Terry Nation.
Blake's 7 follows the adventures of the Liberator Crew as they attempt to bring down the authoritarian Terran Federation ruling the galaxy. Blake (Gareth Thomas) is an idealist; Avon (Paul Darrow), a cynical computer expert; Vila (Michael Keating) is a talented thief; Jenna (Sally Knyvette), a smuggler; Gan (David Jackson), a big guy with no particular skills; Tarrant (Steven Pacey), a space captain; Dayna (Josette Simon), a weapons designer; and gunfighter Soolin (Glynis Barber). Then there's their main nemesis: Servalan (Jacqueline Pearce).

Am excellent series, despite the low budget. Terry Nation also wrote for Doctor Who. In fact he created the Daleks and Davros. I watched them all not too long ago. It stood up to rewatching. Which is something you can't say of "Space 1999", a series of a similar age.
