I have been a huge fan of Blake's 7 over the years, and always longed for the return of the show, however, I'm perhaps glad now that it wasn't, as it seems remakes and reboots don't always do so well.
Four seasons of excellent sci fi drama, if I'm totally honest I would argue the earlier series are the best, benefiting from Terry Nation's terrific writing. Although my personal favourite episode, Sand, would come towards the end of the show's run. Only a few duff episodes in Series Four disappoint.
Don't expect lavish sets of tremendous special effects, but do expect high drama, quality acting and convincing stories.
Marvellous characters, there aren't many shows that survive the loss of a lead character, but it does, although Thomas was much missed. The great Jacqueline Pearce gave us a wonderful character with Servalan, she would haunt The Liberator crew for four years, and wear some outrageous outfits.
Still a great watch. 9/10
