A while ago I suggested that bringing Blake’s 7 back was a good idea, since the whole “terrorist or freedom fighter?” concept is one that ties in well with nos jours, as they say in pretension-land.
Rumour (and I do mean rumour) has it that the Beeb might be thinking the same thing.
Of course, Blake’s 7 revivals are promised more or less every other week, but this one has a slight hint of possibility to it. After all, if the Beeb is thinking of Survivors, I’m sure they visited Blake’s 7 during their mental journey.

I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe.
