I did get that vide, but I usually like ot ask first just out of politeness.
'Tis appreciated, thanks.
re: Blakes 7. Oh, it's marvellously awful, but still an important show in its own right. In many ways, you could sorta see it as the Torchwood of its day in that it was the Beeb's go at doing a more serious, more adult SF show than Doctor Who - which at that point was firmly entrenched as family viewing, skewed a bit towards the kids.
I've been re-watching B7 lately and had forgotten how bleak it occasionally got - I remembered the wobbly sets and frequently silly dialogue, and not the actual strengths of the show that kept it going for four seasons. Definitely check it out, but start with the first season. By the end of the final season, it had collapsed into camp.
