It looks like #Blakes7 is coming back. Maybe once @boldoutlaw.bsky.social concludes a certain personal matter hopefully in February, we can get the show back cc @huestone44.bsky.social www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/bl...

Paul Darrow (Avon in #Blakes7) isn’t the only British sci-fi icon to turn up in 1975’s The Legend of Robin Hood. www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/lege... #RobinHood

All this talk about #TheDeathofRobinHood … our podcast took a look at the 90s TV classic Robin of Sherwood. blakes7.libsyn.com/straight-out... Four episodes released and one more to come #RobinHood #RobinofSherwood #TV

Happy Gauda Prime Day to Servalan and anyone else who celebrates. #Blakes7 #GaudaPrimeDay

It’s #InternationalRobinHoodDay. And our podcast covered #RobinofSherwood for the show’s 40th anniversary last year. blakes7.libsyn.com/straight-out... #RobinHoodDay #RobinHood

RIP Tony Caunter (Sept. 22, 1937 - Oct. 13, 2025). Ensor Jr. in #Blakes7. Friar Tuck in The Legend of Robin Hood. We profiled him when we covered Deliverance. blakes7.libsyn.com/episode-12-d... (profile at 1:22:40) #TonyCaunter #RIPTonyCaunter

Mrs. Peel, Servalan is needed… How does one combine #Blakes7, #RobinHood and #TheAvengers? Well, you need … A Sense of History. Spotlight: www.boldoutlaw.com/robspot/aven... #classicTV Special shout-out to the incomparable Jacqueline Pearce.

Thinking about that kinder, gentler Federation on #StarTrekDay and that time we turned our attention from #Blakes7 to #StarTrekTNG #StarTrek

I did mention #Blakes7 in the last class. Halfway done and still telling myself the next week will take up less time.

In case you are wondering, the delay on episodes is totally my (Allen’s) fault. Sorry.

Our sister show looks at #DoctorWho

Avon’s smiling. That means a happy ending right?

And as one of our hosts is teaching the class, you can be sure #Blakes7 will be represented too. #Firefly #Browncoats After all, both shows adapt The Magnificent Seven line as “I was aiming for his head”.

Google’s AI is no Orac. I will tell you that. #Blakes7. Paul Darrow played recurring character Ravina? Miss one episode and you are demoted to recurring character and they get your name wrong?

Want Blake’s 7 back on US Britbox? This is the link to request shows. help.britbox.com/hc/en-us/req... We also reached across the stars to ask for some Star Cops. But it won’t be easy. #Blakes7 #StarCops #Britbox

Gareth Thomas: Feb. 12, 1945 - April 13, 2016. Among his many superb performances was Roj Blake on #Blakes7. We profiled him when we covered Star One, his last regular episode. blakes7.libsyn.com/26-straight-... His performance elevated the role of Blake.

So, it seems #Blakes7 has left the US version of #Britbox. Has the Federation got control of the channel?

The positive buzz around Hooklight has encouraged at least one member of our podcast to buy it. Glad I have only seen the buzz and not any spoilers.

Happy #FirstContactDay! That time we turned our attention from the dystopian Federation of #blakes7 to the utopian Federation of #StarTrek.

And so it should be. The new UK version of V is brilliant and captures the soul of the original.

What’’s the connection between the ##Blakes7 episode Traitor, Peter O’Toole, French circus performers, Pink Floyd and #RobinHood. Learn more in the latest episode of Straight Outta the Federation. www.thehuntresspodcast.com/2025/04/43-s...

We covered Charlie Condou’s Robin of Sherwood episode “Adam Bell” last year. He played the sheriff’s young nephew. www.thehuntresspodcast.com/2024/06/stra... #RobinofSherwood #DoctorWho cc @huestone44.bsky.social @boldoutlaw.bsky.social

A great look at @bigfinish.bsky.social’s wonderful audio adaptation / updating of V. #audiodrama #scifi

Love the art!

Happy 91st birthday to actor, MBE and international treasure Tom Baker - famous for playing the Fourth Doctor in #DoctorWho. And two days shy of the 48th anniversary of this scene written by #Blakes7 script editor Chris Boucher. youtu.be/uqpq9tP14PA?... Sadly, still relevant.

Happy 47th anniversary to #Blakes7. Which premiered on Jan. 2, 1978. Catch our coverage on Straight Outta the Federation. blakes7.libsyn.com I think we’re a bit more positive than some who talk about Roj Blake and his … friends?… allies?

Some #spoilers as @siskoid.bsky.social comes to the end of his #Blakes7 journey. Although there’s always Afterlife, Lucifer and Invictus.

We were privileged to have @andreworton.bsky.social (also co-writer of Maximum Power!) contribute segments to our podcast episodes for #Blakes7 Sarcophagus and the 2nd of our #RobinofSherwood 40th anniversary episodes. www.thehuntresspodcast.com/2024/05/stra...

And then just a few days later on January 2, 1978 - Terry Nation, David Maloney showed British audiences how to do outer space rebels on a somewhat smaller budget.

Celebrating this #Christmas by watching George C. Scott in A Christmas Carol. The production designer is Roger Murray-Leach, the designer of #Blakes7 and #DoctorWho. Great cast including David Warner, Roger Rees, Frank Finlay, Edward Woodward, Mark Strickson and Angela Pleasence among others.

And @siskoid.bsky.social covers the penultimate episode of #Blakes7. Maybe he’ll celebrate New Years by watching what I am sure will be an uplifting series finale.

Our co-host @huestone44.bsky.social joins @siskoid.bsky.social as they cover @bigfinish.bsky.social’s Christmas Special Relative Dimensions starring Paul McGann’s Doctor and Carole Ann Ford’ Susan. #DoctorWho

We also recently set off on our Series D journey. Includes a profile of Mary Ridge. And more respect paid to Cally than the #Blakes7 episode did.

Come celebrate #GaudaPrimeDay with some @bigfinish.bsky.social #Blakes7 audio adventures. Sadly most of Series D not included.

You know, I think would be a fun idea for the Series D #Blakes7 Blu-ray if they had an alternate version of the last episode’s end credits where Steven Pacey sings Vere Lorrimer’s lyric over the jaunty theme. #GaudaPrimeDay

Oh, and we have a new logo created by Mr James Sellwood, and a lovely new website design by Nathan Bottomley Esq: maximumpowerpodcast.com

Welcome back and happy #GaudaPrimeDay where the festive smiles are always wry. #Blakes7

Happy Gauda Prime Day to all who celebrate with an ironic smile. One of our merry band still doesn’t know what awaits. #Blakes7

The brand new issue of #Blakes7 Magazine features the second part of our fantastic comic strip adaptation of the Series D opening story 'Rescue', this time in full colour! Issue 25 of Blake's 7 Magazine will be available in January 2025.

And @siskoid.bsky.social offers a great look at one of the very best #Blakes7 episodes. Check it out.
