What is Blakes 7?

Created by Terry Nation, who is most often associated with Doctor Who, Blake's 7 was a British Science Fiction series that ran for four series from 1977-1981 on BBC1. Blake's 7 was set in a future run by the fascist Federation and followed the exploits of a small group of freedom fighters led by Roj Blake.

The series ended with possibly the best ending ever for a Sci-Fi series.

Who are the 7? Damn good question!

Cast of Characters

Blake was the leader of the Freedom Party on Earth but was captured an mind-wiped by the Federation. Blake began to regain his memories. Rather than have him killed the Federation tried to discredit him by having false charges, of attempting to corrupt minors, brought against him. Blake was sentenced to life on the Cygnus Alpha penal colony. Blake was able to escape the prison barge and escape on an alien spaceship named the Liberator. Despite constant objections from his crewmates Blake was determined to get revenge against the federation and bring an end to the tyrannous rule.
