Trivia
In an interview, Paul Darrow called Firefly (2002) and its film follow-up Serenity - L'ultime rébellion (2005), "Today's "Blake's 7"".

Goofs
In many episodes the team transport down to a particular place then walk, sometimes long distances, to their final destination past security guards, cameras etc. Also Vila is frequently called upon to use his 'hacking' skills to open various locks and doors.

But in many cases there is no reason why they could not have just transported down to where they wanted to go in the first place. To get past a locked door it is simply a matter of returning to the Liberator and then back to the other side of the door.

Quotes
Vila Restal: [about Jenna] She's a big name. It's an honor to be locked up with her.

Featured review

Stylish substance over insubstantial style

In 1978, America had "Battlestar Galactica" and Dirk Benedict. England had "Blake's 7" and Paul Darrow. England had the better deal.

Sure, "Blake's 7" had a shoddy budget and clunkier sets than "Doctor Who", but the show had more interesting characters. You could not find a more diverse bunch of criminals, freedom fighters, and guns-for-hire - and these were the heroes (or anti-heroes)of the show. Almost every week they fought Servalan, Travis, and the evil Galactic Federation (boo,hiss!) while sometimes barely getting along with each other. The show flagged a bit in the last season, but it had the best series finale of all time in my opinion.
