	Definition of Blakes Seven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Blake's 7 resembled other BBC science fiction shows (such as Doctor Who), but was characterised by a darker tone and often defied the traditional sharply-defined ethical stances associated with this type of drama, with considerable blurring of the distinction between the "good" and the "bad" guys (and gals).
		Blake's 7 was also remarkable for its range of influences; dialogue inspired by Casablanca and The Importance of Being Earnest was mixed with Spaghetti Western nihilism and pure camp, as well as the odd plot and a major character stolen from Shakespeare.
		Blake's 7 was also arguably unique in TV SF in that it had a major influence on written SF, with the revival of written space opera in the '90s coming from (of all places) the UK at the hands of writers such as Stephen Baxter, Alastair Reynolds, and Iain Banks.

	Blakes Seven
		Blake's Seven is an interesting piece of unpretentious Sci-Fi that typifies a lot of the genre.
		The continuing implication in 'Blake's Seven' is that the Federation is as deluded as its ideological predecessors.
		Nations, we know, are capable of suppressing individual liberties and the idea that a nation is sovereign works to ensure that a tyrant can rule indefinitely as long as he doesn't upset too many of his neighbours or get in the way of those corporations who have the ear of the US government.

	ToyBox \| Blake's 7
		Blake's 7 1979 Annual is a curious snapshot of the BBC's eyebrow-raising marketing of what was supposed to be an adult science fiction drama series.
		It's even made clear, in the opening pages which introduce the characters to young readers, that some of Blake's crew are murderers, thieves, and embezzlers - this is fairly stout stuff for kids.
		But in the 60-odd pages that follow that introduction, two things become clear: the short stories featuring Blake and company aren't intended to be even remotely gritty, and the people who put this book together had been given only the briefest of briefings on the characters and situations of Blake's 7.

	"Blakes 7" (1978) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Blakes 7 was launched in 1978 by the BBC, and in the aftermath of 'Star Wars'.
		The premise of the series was simple; Blake and his band, prisoners of the evil federation, manage to gain control of a powerful alien spaceship, and become freedom fighters.
		There was the fiery passion of Blake, the cold logical Avon, the laid back Villa to name a few.

	Television Heaven
		Ruthlessly crushing all attempts at individual freedom and creative endeavour, The Federation controlled its populace by means of air and water administered tranquillising drugs, and the immediate elimination of any and all dissidents by means of murder or sentencing them to exile to an off world penal colony for crimes of which they are innocent.
		However, Blake manages to start a revolt whilst on the prison ship carrying him and a fresh group of criminals to their life of servitude, ultimately escaping along with a small group of fellow prisoners aboard a technologically advanced, abandoned alien spaceship, which they dub The Liberator.
		The character of Blake himself departed when Gareth Thomas opted to pursue other career avenues, to be replaced by the far less charismatic and interesting standard hero character of Mercenary Del Tarrent.

		When I was younger and living in the 'Ghetto' not everyone had a TV but it nice to go around to someones house for Tea, spliff and Blakes Seven or the Sweeney.
		Farscape is indeed mighty, but Avon is a multi-faceted character whose psychological development (and/or disintegration) forms one of the key threads of the Blakes 7 narrative, whereas Krace is a martinet who shouts at his ship a lot.
		Blake and his crew can very easily be painted as terrorists.

		Blake's 7 S3 - Collector's edition In the third century of the second calendar, after the chaos of the intergalactic wars, a powerful dictatorship has risen to dynamic proportions and engulfed most of the populated worlds.
		After the first two series of "Blakes seven" being about blakes attempts to destroy the Federation, this series took a slightly different direction.
		New crewmembers Tarrant and Dayna are worthy replacements for Blake and Jenna although a baddie in the calibre of Series one and two`s Travis is lacking.

	Mongoose Publishing :: View topic - Worst sci fi ever?
		Lexx springs to mind, but it at least had one redeeming feature, and was no where near as painful as Legend of the rangers.
		Blake's 7 came about as close to being a political thriller as television SF really could; if all that you were watching it for was the effects, (and the space vampires), you were missing the point.
		I just thought blakes seven was amazingly tacky, even taking into account the budget of 5 shillings.

		Series four of "Blakes seven" was to be the last we would see of the space hopping anti heroes who had held us gripped from 1978-81.
		The concept of "Blakes seven" is second only to creator Terry Nation`s other sci-fi innovation, The Daleks, which made the man quite prolific in creating memorable characters.
		There was nothing cosy about "Blakes seven" as anyone could get killed off at any time, which gave the programme a gritty, realistic feel.

		Blake's 7, U.K. toymaker Corgi's nifty little die-cast replica of the Liberator doesn't disappoint.
		It's a little odd to make a big deal out of a toy line that consists of a single toy, but if you, like me, regard Blake's 7 as your all-time favorite SF show, then this one item zips straight up the list to the top of the "cool stuff" category.
		Beware of anyone who takes photos from an angle that deliberately disguises those parts - and then refuses to send you any new photos showing those vulnerable pieces intact.

	The Infinite Matrix \| David Langford \| Week 201
		the classically awful British television SF series Blakes Seven: no apostrophe in the title, no sense in the plot.
		The depraved space queen Servalan, played by the slinky Jacqueline Pearce, could never quite bring herself to volatilize the dimly heroic Blake even when she had him square in the sights of her plasmatic spasm guns.
		The secret of Blake's appeal, or Blakes appeal, for the otherwise infallibly fatale Servalan remained a mystery, like the actual wattage of light bulb on which the design of Blake's spaceship, or Blakes spaceship, was plainly based.'
