Blake’s Seven: Beginnings and Before

by Harry on June 2, 2010

Radio 7 is running this brilliant re-imagining of the origins, and simultaneously running some of these “early years” stories from B7 productions. The first beginnings story is only up for another 24 hours; you have longer to catch the rest. The Avon early years story is especially recommended.

Computer genius Avon becomes embittered by the establishment.

Now there’s a surprise.

I guess this way we can’t see the sets wobble and split.

Sure you can, JM: with the power of imagination. Heck, I’m currently imagining the new Silurians as having zippers down their fronts.

Brilliant. Blakes 7 was surely the apex of the televisual art. As Avon used to say ‘Well, Hooray for us’

I agree re the Avon episode. And Geoffrey Palmer has the plummiest voice on radio.
