Blake's 7 (1978-1981). Part One: The Great British Blake Off.

#Blakes7 #TerryNation #doctorwho #blakesseven Stam Fine Reviews looks at the BBC Science Fiction Classic Blake's 7, created by Terry Nation. Blake's 7 follows the adventures of the Liberator Crew as they attempt to bring down the authoritarian Terran Federation ruling the galaxy. Blake (Gareth Thomas) is an idealist; Avon (Paul Darrow), a cynical computer expert; Vila (Michael Keating) is a talented thief; Jenna (Sally Knyvette), a smuggler; Gan (David Jackson), a big guy with no particular skills; Tarrant (Steven Pacey), a space captain; Dayna (Josette Simon), a weapons designer; and gunfighter Soolin (Glynis Barber). Then there's their main nemesis: Servalan (Jacqueline Pearce). In Part One, we take an overall look at the show, its characters, origins, developments and its legacy. In Part Two, we look at each of the series' 52 episodes. If there's anything not in this first video, chances are it's in Part Two.
