Blake’s 7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake%27s_7) created by Terry Nation

Blake’s 7: The Audio Adventures
1. Rebel by Ben Aaronovitch | 2. Traitor by Marc Platt | 3. Liberator by James Swallow

Twenty-five years since its bloody climax, the much loved TV science fiction series BLAKE’S 7 returns, re-imagined as a series of original audio adventures.

A bold new re-interpretation of Dalek creator Terry Nation’s original Seventies cult series.
Derek Riddell (No Angels, Doctor Who) heads an all-new cast as the eponymous rebel leader Roj Blake.
Colin Salmon (best known for his film roles in James Bond, Alien vs Predator, and Resident Evil) assumes the iconic role of Kerr Avon .
Daniela Nardini (This Life) as the rebel Blake’s arch nemesis Servalan.
Originally transmitted in 2006 on BB7 Radio (and later webcast on Sci-Fi) in 5-minute chapters.

In this collection I have got all but the 7 Poster mags for you to enjoy & relive a bit of comic history

Wall1885, Thank you SO MUCH. You were as good as your word and I could not be happier.
I have wanted to see those two 1990’s Blakes 7 Magazines ever since they were first released. I live in Sydney, Australia and things take a little time to get out here from the UK. I tried to purchase both mags when I originally saw them advertised. On each occasion I ordered them and both times I missed out. I recall that on one occasion I got sent the ‘Robert Holmes Special’ sent to me instead. I was really, REALLY annoyed. Anyway, thanks to you I can finally turn the page on all that and immerse myself in this long sought after treasure.

Thank you SO much for the share of the B7 annual and magazines… I’ve looked for years for those! Sadly, after getting all excited about it, I find I’m not able to download the magazines, sadly, as it says they’re over the "500mb limit" for the file storage site? Can anyone help?

Also, to any other B7 fans here, I’d also strongly recommend the audios (only ever released as cassettes) at the start of the thread; I own the original tapes and they’re among my favourite audio productions ever.

I used to own all three but they have become lost in time somewhere along the way. If anyone could re upload I’d be very grateful as the links at the start of the thread are sadly no longer active for obvious reasons.

Also, I know it’s unlikely but does anyone know if there are pdf’s out there somewhere for the two other novels "BeforeDeath" and "A Dreadful Outlook"?

to be honest, i don’t have that much confidence in the ability of syfy to give the show a real chance to succeed. It’s all about money, as they have proved in the past with shows like SGU, Eureka and Caprica.

If it goes ahead, i’ll watch it, but if they mangle the characters and stories it won’t last. There are too many BBC fans who enjoyed the old show (even with it’s dodgy special effects) and won’t easily accept a story that’s altered too much. They have more room to play with the minor characters, such as Gan, but too many changes to Blake and Avon will leave fans in revolt. I also hope they don’t go for ‘big names’ for the major roles. They need to pick the best actor for the roles, not the one who has the most followers on twitter.

I suspect it will go the way of the attempted US remake of Red Dwarf.

mooncatt

09-09-2012, 02:50 PM

I don’t think the series needs remaking, it needs a follow up. I don’t understand why people feel the need to constantly try to stamp their mark on someone elses work. I admit, the re imagining of BSG didn’t turn out too shabby but if the re boot of The Questionable Medic had been a re imagining, as in going back to Totters Lane and casting on actor older than Eccleston as The 1st Medic and Ms Piper as Susan, I don’t think many of us would have been very happy.
I worry on the one hand that this will be a right carve up, but then so many have tried before and failed, maybe we should just sit back and see where they take us.

Nobber

09-09-2012, 11:50 PM

B7M didn’t do themselves any favours with what feels to be a bit of a continuity shift with the ‘Early Years’ range. Again, as independent stories they’re fine, but which Vila is the official B7M one? The whiny Reboot one, or the Classic Keating one? Does the Liberator have teleport (classic) or not (reboot) ? That sort of thing.

And what does the Liberator look like for the B7M-Reboot universe? We’re never shown a picture of it, and none of the description we get ever matches the Classic design. If anything given the way we hear it devour that fuel depot (if I remember the story correctly) I sort of imagine something anemone like.

I’d never heard of the RPG before, either. These days I’d just use either BRP or GURPs for it.

I have some fan written novelizations of some of the TV stories if anyone is interested. I have complete season 1 (all as 1 story) plus 5 from series 2, 4 from series 3 & 4 from series 4- all are in pdf format- leave a comment if you’re wanting these & I’ll upload themNot the Trevor Hoyle’s version(s)?
All 52 tv transcripts are online in txt:

ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/blake7/scripts/

Link found at the B7 fan site: Blake’s 7 Novelized Transcripts (http://www.jillun.com/blakes/index.html)
Site also links to Jill Sylvan’s novelizations, which s/he calls "Transliterations". Some have poetic introductions!

All I needed to know about the Universe
I learned from Blake’s 7
by Felina Archer

Reality is a dangerous concept.
He who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.
Trust is only dangerous if you have to rely on it.
There is no logical reason why aliens should be hairy.
Heroics seldom run to schedule.
Civilization has always depended on courtesy rather than truth.
I am not expendable, I am not stupid, and I am not going.
The only thing you can make me do is die.
All that patience gets you is older.
Regret is part of being alive, but make it a small part.
There are other rules – but you’ll find out what they are when you break them.

(This only part of Felina’s list, see spoiler for link to complete list.)

Well that was a lot of fun!

A couple of very minor quibbles (VERY minor. Nothing that really spoils it.)

In no particular order ….

Too short – too many little story strands that could have done with a bit more room to breathe. Vila and Jenna on the hull, for instance, and a criminally underused Servalan.

Thomas – Sorry, but he sounds far too old these days. Takes a bit of mental gear shifting not to imagine him scooting around the flightdeck in a bath-chair! 🙂

Locke – Near perfect as Zen, but not really right for Orac. Someone like Barnaby Edwards would have been better for the ‘prissyness’ required.

But, those aside, great to hear the gang back together and here’s to more Full Cast B7 stories.

I wouldn’t mind Travis 2.0 if he didn’t seem like a completely different character to me. He feels more like a sterotypical toughie, thuggish and more emotional than 1.0. 1.0 clearly had a huge chunk of his face replaced but 2.0 just has a glorified eye patch! Now all I can think of is a pirate when I see him.

I don’t know, but I’m more used to Travis 2.0 as I don’t think I saw much of the first series growing up. I’d associated Brian Croucher more in the role as a result. It’s only when I got the DVD set that I realised that, yes, someone else started in the role. Maybe Travis 2.0 is a bit more of the pirate type. I like both actors in the role though. Though Brian Croucher I still remember in Doctor Who – Robots of Death and can’t help think of him in that when I watch Blake’s 7.
