Most fans of BLAKES 7 consider the following episode Animals as being the worst episode of the series 52 episode run but for me this is one is actually worse . Telefantasy strives and struggles to shake off the mainstream feel that it's silly nonsense produced only for stupid people and watching this episode it's difficult not to feel embarrassment
David Sullivan Proudfoot once again shows himself to be the weakest director on the show by dressing and portraying the Space Rats villains as being punk rockers . BLAKES 7 was very much a product of its time and the short lived New Romantic movement probably owes a little to the show but to have a ruthless much feared criminal gang thousands of years in the future having multi-coloured mohican hairstyles is frankly laughable and strains the credibility of both the episode and the series
