I'm enjoying re-watching Blake's 7 so much that I decided to start a discussion about it. Who else wants to join in?
I can't remember most of the episodes because I was about 9 when I watched them, so it's like something new, but it is such a good series. High time for a remake.
Me and my friends used to play Blake's 7 in the playground. I was always Cally. We were all girls so some played male roles.
Avon is such a great character! I love his constant arguing with Blake and I realise now why I liked Avon. Apart from the fact he's a handsome man, he is actually a more attractive character than Blake. All Blake does is shout and get angry. It's very tiring. They should have shown a softer side to him. At least Avon is a bit funny sometimes. And they should have just got another actor to play him when Gareth Thomas left. It was a bit stupid having Blake's 7 without Blake.
Also I'd forgotten about Travis in his head-to-toe black leather costume. Well! And I like his hatred of Blake too, the way he is always trying to kill Blake, but Blake avoids killing him in order to score moral points.
A much better series than I remember, at first I didn't want to watch it because it was one of the last series I watched with my dad before he died. But re-watching it is actually making me happy. I can imagine my dad chuckling at some of the silly scenes.
If anyone wants to discuss this series with me, please do!
I've just started watching UFO on the Freeview horror channel.
Do we ever discover who the aliens are? What do they look like? Or what they want?
I watch that sometimes. I get it mixed up with Space 1999. Is UFO the one with the purple hair?
UFO and the purple hair. This is what 1980 was supposed to look like.
hahaha oh didn't they!
Yes purple. Both UFO and space 1999 were made by the same people.
UFO is the 1960s idea of life in 1980.
Space 1999 is the 1970s idea of life in 1999.
Boy, did they get things wrong.
