Classic sci fi from the 70's, made by the people who made classic Dr Who. Okay the fx are quite poor, but great stories and characters. Some vids to tempt you.....perhaps. Some B7 scenes set to music and a fan video or two.

I only got to see it a few times, but it was good. It wasn't shown in the States nearly as much as Dr. Who. Speaking of, I remember one of the actors who played Dr. Who saying that in Britain TV is an outgrowth of the theatre and in America TV is an outgrowth of movies, thus explaining less emphasis on eyepopping special effects in the British productions. ant-mac , what say you?

It's one of my top three TV series, along with classic DOCTOR WHO (1963) and the original SURVIVORS (1975). You may remember that my "regular" avatar is of Paul Darrow in his role of Kerr Avon from BLAKE'S 7. Terry Nation created SURVIVORS, BLAKE'S 7 and the Daleks for DOCTOR WHO. He also contributed to many other TV series of that era which I deeply enjoy. However, at one stage during the late 1960s, I believe he withdrew the Daleks from DW and attempted to launch them independently in America, but failed. They subsequently returned to DW a few years later.

I always thought this show was ripe for a remake. Apparently there have been a couple of attempts, but they never came to anything. One day...

It was a childhood favourite. I can't recall any TV series at the time, and few since, that had an ending like that final episode.

My husband liked it, but I never got into it. I know a couple who named their seventh child Blake in honour of the show.

Two brothers, big Dr Who fans, watch Blake's 7 for the first time and review the episodes. For any B7 fan it is great to get a new perspective on the show from newbies. These are edited reactions but worth a shout. I'll put the first two up, at present they have done 10 episodes. If anyone hasn't seen the show these vids might make you consider giving it a go.
