Blakes 7 is one of those series that only the BBC could have made in the late seventies/ early eighties.Its kind of crappy yet I find it very enjoyable to watch. It has good strong characters and a few of the story lines are pretty good.Overall the whole is more satisfying that the parts.Yes, the sets wobble and the dialogue can be a bit stupid but the stories are usually very entertaining and there is a good dose of humour in it. Characters like Avon, Servalan, Dayna and Vila are all excellent and the actors do the best with what they've got. If you have not seen Blakes 7 check it out now on DVD.All series are available in box sets and I recently got series 4 for £19.99 inclusive which is not bad. By the way, like the original Star Trek Blakes 7 got sillier and more pantomime toward the end.Which is why I like the later stuff as it is funnier...in that late seventies BBC way...
