    Blake 7 Dr. Who 0

    If Dr. Who sets looked like they were made on Blue Peter out of sticky-backed plastic and toilet rolls, then Blake's 7 was contrived by proper carpenters, and appeared on Tommorrow's World in a feature on what life would be like in 1996.

    Where Dr. Who blew bubblegum bubbles, Blake's 7 took a drag on a Capstan Full Strength - this was Sci-Fi T.V. for adults; men lusted after women, aliens killed for fun, women in long white dresses destroyed whole civilisations just to make a point.

    Our hero, Roj Blake, was a terrorist. His alter-ego, Avon, seemed perpetually on the brink of betrayal. The remainder of the seven were con artists, murderers and telepathic extra-terrestrials.

    An altogether more satisfying experience, on the whole, than Dr. Who, even if the crew of the Liberator couldn't decide which lever operated the teleport system (they tried all of them throughout Series 1).

    A word of warning. Don't watch 'Cruise of the Gods' before this, or you will feel deeply ashamed of your trainspotting affection for cult sci-fi television.

    I know it is old, some of it a bit out-dated, but it is still good, clean fun to watch, and brings back all those memories....
