Blake's Seven

The BBC seemed to have removed Blake's Seven from their 'cult' zone. In fact the zone now seems to be nothing more than promotion of current series and series being repeated. This is a crime as programmes such as Blake's Seven still have a lot of appeal.

In my opinion Blake's Seven was the best ever 'cult' scifi series. A group of rebels, who rarely numbered seven; led by Blake, until they got rid of him; fighting the federation, has anyone told Captain Kirk. Intelligently written most of the time. Interesting computers and actually quite a strong, understated erotic appeal. Servalan, the evil federation leader, was totally amoral and was one of the strongest female roles ever.

Blake had a strong, idealist moral code, which made him very boring and quite dangerous as the leader of a rebel group. He was easily countered by Avon, who was totally cynical and self interested. Villa the cowardly thief was good for comedy.
