The Series D Retrospective

Episode 63

Tuesday, 8 April 2025

With a grim air of finality and a total disregard for the attempt to turn this show into a terribly serious Space Opera, we look back over Series D of Blake’s 7.

Kicking off with a single offscreen death and ending with definitively killing off everyone else maybe, we tour a heretofore unexplored part of the Blake’s 7 universe in our clapped-out orange planet hopper.

It’s a bold vision of the future where everything is various shades of ocean, military, and gunmetal grey because of George Lucas, and Soolin joins the crew for a reason we should find out any day now.

From our new underground base we visit more quarries than ever before, on worlds like Caspar, Domo, Mecron 2, Zerok, Betafarl, some forests on Bucol 2, Xenon, and Gauda Prime, swampy Helotrix, and the studios on Pharos, Virn and Malodar to break up the monotony.

Join us as we look back at the time Blake’s 7 was unexpectedly saved from death only to be irrevocably killed again (they really mean it this time) in our Series D Retrospective.
