Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGareth Thomas and Tom Baker always wanted to do a cross-over between Doctor Who (1963) and "Blake's 7" (with the two heroes passing each other in a corridor, exchanging greetings) but this was vetoed by producers of both series. Indeed the invasion from Andromeda at the end of the second season was originally going to be invasion by Doctor Who's Daleks, also created by Terry Nation.
- GoofsIn many episodes the team transport down to a particular place then walk, sometimes long distances, to their final destination past security guards, cameras etc. Also Vila is frequently called upon to use his 'hacking' skills to open various locks and doors.
But in many cases there is no reason why they could not have just transported down to where they wanted to go in the first place. To get past a locked door it is simply a matter of returning to the Liberator and then back to the other side of the door.
- Quotes
Vila Restal: [about Jenna] She's a big name. It's an honor to be locked up with her.
- ConnectionsEdited into Blake's 7: Duel (1978)
Featured review
Wonderfully cheesy!
This is quite simply the coolest sci-fi series of all time. It is easy to laugh at the sets and effects in these days of CGI, but it was good entertaining fun when it came out. Gareth Thomas played the Blake of the title, who whizzed round the universe with his crew of outlaws, trying to avoid the Federation. The leader of the Federation, Servalan, was a strong, scary woman who thought nothing of stabbing her allies in the back. In contrast to series such as Doctor Who, the female cast members werent just "screamers" - they all had their own specific and useful skills, such as Cally (Jan Chappell) who had psychic powers and Jenna (Sally Knyvette), an expert pilot. Watching it now brings back many memories, but it does stand up even now. Inspired!
