Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGareth Thomas and Tom Baker always wanted to do a cross-over between Doctor Who (1963) and "Blake's 7" (with the two heroes passing each other in a corridor, exchanging greetings) but this was vetoed by producers of both series. Indeed the invasion from Andromeda at the end of the second season was originally going to be invasion by Doctor Who's Daleks, also created by Terry Nation.
- GoofsIn many episodes the team transport down to a particular place then walk, sometimes long distances, to their final destination past security guards, cameras etc. Also Vila is frequently called upon to use his 'hacking' skills to open various locks and doors.
But in many cases there is no reason why they could not have just transported down to where they wanted to go in the first place. To get past a locked door it is simply a matter of returning to the Liberator and then back to the other side of the door.
- Quotes
Vila Restal: [about Jenna] She's a big name. It's an honor to be locked up with her.

Featured review
Fantastic mix of Dr. Who meets Star Trek.
"Blake's 7", whilst being somewhat of a misnomer, is a great series. The first few episodes (maybe even the entire first season) are rather shoddy and have a *very* low budget look, but it only gets better from then on in.
The most memorable bits of the series are the cynical, sarcastic, clever, and down-right rude comments from Avon, delivered in a beautifully scathing voice, and the equally sarcastic remarks from Orac, the talking fish tank.
Definitely a must-see if you like Dr. Who and can get the entire series (26 two-episode videos) at your local video rental library.
