I saw that too - quite young at 71. I loved this show when I was a kid - crap special effects and everything.

๐Ÿ™

Had christened one of my computers ORAC as a nod to Blakes 7.
Better than Siri, anyway!

I reckon Avon was a bit to close to Servalan. He could easily be turned.

True story this:

A guy at work was a big fan of the show, went through a messy divorce, moved out of the house and lived in a double decker bus behind the factory, lost the plot a bit and changed his name to Blake 7
His surname is '7' ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

[i]His surname is '7'[/i]

I used to know a lad whose middle name was "Seven." His mum reckoned one day we'd all be a number so presumably wanted to get ahead of the game.

Surely, to get ahead of the game, you'd choose 'one' (or 'eight' so you could sell it to a wealthy China man)

Just realised the main attraction of Blake's 7 to my 11 year old self may well have been Glynis Barber.... ๐Ÿ˜ณ

R.I.P.

I saw the last episode where they were all killed without knowing beforehand it was the last episode. What a shock when Blake got killed.
