BLAKES 7 ORAC

I take a look at some selective episodes of the late 1970's BBC series Blake's 7 series 1.

This B7 episode is the 4th appearance for female arch-villain Servalan and I suspected when I first saw this series, she would return for more episodes in later series.

As I understand it Jacqueline Pearce was only cast for one episode, clearly having made impact making that episode got to appear in a few more. I suspect it was the viewers who liked her in series one landed her to go on right to the end.

The radiation sickness is lifted from the first Dalek story the Daleks, aired in 1963 with Bill Hartnell where the Doctor and his 3 companions got radiation sickness in Dalek planet Skaro and they needed drugs to cure the sickness.

Just watching that one the other day.

This season one finale would have been an awesome departure for Travis.

Could have ended in a final shoot out between Blake and Travis or Avon ending it.

@@spacehound3355 That would have been awesome and in series two of b7, arch-enemy and recurring arch-villain could then have got herself a new henchman to replace Travis and thus had that been the case series 2 of B7 would have been billions of times better than it was.
