Blake's 7 was the one show i was allowed to stay up late to watch when i was a nipper. Gareth Thomas was a total ledge as Blake, and it was brilliant how he was omnipresent throughout the show even when he left for (almost) 2 series. Anyone remember Children of the Stones too? Bloody classic. If you have 3hrs to spare, make sure you catch all 3 parts of this docco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQn-iXhepyI

R.I.P. Gareth Thomas! :notworthy:

He was in an episode of the the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes too.

Yeah Children of the Stones was filmed at Avebury. It's possible to pick up a copy on torrent sites.

Sad loss. He was a great actor.

A great program and a key part of my chlldhood..

Anyone else noted the bond between Avon and Orac? Always reminds me of Von and The Doktor...

Taking this to extremes (Sisters in Space) Villa would have to Craig, Gan = Gary and Tarrant (the newbie who was never quite accepted by the hardcore = Hussey.
