Blake's 7

There are somethings in life that people prefer to keep hidden but I have now decided the time has come for me to step forward and tell the world "I am a Blakes 7 fan!". The series was originally screened from 1978 until 1981 but the BBC released it on DVD in 2004-2006. I never watched the series when it was screened on terrestrial TV but after I married in 1990 the BBC released it on video and I discovered my husband was a huge fan (amazing what you find out about people) and he bought them all.

Yes, Avon from Blake’s 7 is my ideal man. If you are on Ciao too, look at my profile over there and you will see a photo of him in the role. Although Paul Darrow (the actor) is now 61 and has been married for a long time too, he is still damn sexy. You can blame him and my hubby for my falling in love with yet another camp 1970s TV programme. Let me explain. My husband and I met through our mutual adoration of all things Dr. Who. When we started living together, I ...  Read the complete review

.....or, alternatively titled; my A to Z of Blake's 7; another one of my favourite Sci-fi series. ~~~A is for Avon: My favourite anti-hero!
