"Blakes 7"... well.. where do you start, but back when it aired, it was my favourite show as a child, making my parents tune in to watch it every week, it had wonderful characterisation, delightful banter between Avon and Vila, definitely the best characters of the show. Paul Darrow, what an inspired choice, being a Shakespearean actor, took the role and made it his own. Snarling, sniping... Everyone remembers the wobbly sets... who didn't from that time, didn't Dr Who have the same problem?... Unlike Dr Who you didn't know who was to be knocked off that week? Gan being killed off in the second series at that time, who saw it coming?
Years later, having them all on DVD, thank god someone decided to release them, fantastic!!! And they do get better after multiple viewings... up there with firefly, and Babylon 5, best British sci fi? Not now, back in 1978, god yes!!! it was dark, bleak, a kind of robin hood and his merry men in space, but with bickering... what a good idea, bot like star trek, where everyone is nice to each other..
One word. Brilliant
