Either way, absolutely brilliant series and I started re watching it all a few weeks ago and whilst the special effects can be terrible and sometimes incredible, the ...

Loved Blake 7 as a kid. I know a reboot was in the pipeline a while back before Terry Nation's untimely death. It'll be interesting to see who's cast and will it be faithful to the original series.


I would love it to follow on from the ending of series 4 but expect it to be more of a ...

I've been trying to find the names of the artists who drew those strips in 1967 and 1968 but can't locate any info, and how many Saint strips appeared in the comic too? Thanks.

Thanks for the information!
