Re: Blake\'s 7
yep it was made by BBC and played 1978-1981. It was a huge hit both in Britain and in New Zealand and has been replayed many times. You are correct about the production values, they were typical BBC i.e. do anything you want as long as it doesn't cost too much! The series was created by tery nation the man behind Dr Who (not sure how popular that show was in USA?) but was far more dark and menacing. It was most noted perhaps for its habit of knocking off the stars of the show. Even the main character Blake didn't make it past the 2nd series.
I thought the stories were great and i liked the way there was a continuos thread to the series and the fact that the good guys sometimes lost (and infact all get killed) by the badies.
Maybe it was crap and I am just being sentimental?
Anyway - enough ranting from me!
