Blake’s 7

Following on from Blood & Earth, the previous adventure in the Blake’s 7 – The Early Years series from b7media, Flag & Flame by Marc Platt is another “Cally” story.  Unlike the previous one and despite what the CD sleeve would have you believe, Flag & Flame doesn’t feature Jan Chappell reprising […]

Liberator is the third episode of Blake’s 7 – The Audio Adventures by b7media.  Whereas Rebel retold the opening episodes of the TV series, and Traitor gave us three mini-stories in one, Liberator does what it says on the tin. Servalan begins to understand the power and the might of the […]

In Rebel, the first episode of Blake’s 7 – The Audio Adventures by b7media, the new cast effectively took us through an abridged version of the televised episodes The Way Back, Space Fall, and Cygnus Alpha, whilst missing out great chunks of what made those episodes great on TV. This […]
