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...

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?

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

you're really not selling it to me yet Paul, keep going...

hey, I'm not saying it was perfect, but it had a certain charm...

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'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...sultan2075 wrote: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.
