WAAHHHH blakes 7!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Much as I love the original Blakes 7 (and have all 4 series on DVD, and have Paul Darrow's biography) I'm happy to see them remake it.

Hell, if they can revive Dr Who and make it as good as it is now, then I'm prepared to gives a new Blakes 7 a chance.

It's a shame Terry Nation died before he got round to making the final feature-length episode that showed what happened to Avon after Blake and the rest of the crew got shot on Gauda Prime. Apparently it was based around Avon being imprisoned in a Napoleon-style situation by the Federation...

Well, if I was him I would have.

Apparently Paul Darrow didn't want to revive the role, so the sequel got shelved.

even my flatmate and I avoided this 'sub Dr. Who' bollocks in the 70s, where the hell is the attraction?

that is a genuine question BTW

It was the first mainstream British sci-fi programme where the "goodies" weren't particularly good - a bunch of criminals, in fact. Blake was, of course, sanctimoniously annoying, but Avon's sarcastic selfishness and Villa's cowardly selfishness more than made up for that.

If the reworking is as good as Battlestar Galactica or Doctor Who, it'll be great.

However, I have my worries about it being done by Sky (although they did a good job with The Hogfather and The Colour of Magic). I'll reserve judgement until such time as I can actually watch it though.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

I've never seen the original, but--based on the Wikipedia article--I'd watch a remake if it were done well. It also seems that I had a little die-cast model of the Liberator when I was a child, not that I had any idea what it was, beyond a pointy spaceship that we threw at each other with great force.

Is it sad to reveal that I have one - it's a more recent version that came with one of my Blakes 7 DVD box sets...

:oops: :lol:

I understood he quit over money and he fell out with the production team over their plans for the revival :?:
