In 1981 the dystopian BBC TV Space Opera Blake's 7 ended with a bang. The fans wiped away a tear or two and withdrew to their rooms to write bitter fanfiction for the rest of their lives. Well, not quite... BBC Radio: The Sevenfold Crown and The Syndeton ExperimentThe first Blake's 7 audio drama was broadcast in 1998 on BBC Radio 4. The Sevenfold Crown is one of those legendary works that few people have heard but most have heard of, mainly because it was so legendarily bad. Barry Letts had been responsible for some of Doctor Who's most well-remembered episodes, but he was unfamiliar with Blake's 7 - the play was a replacement for a Doctor Who story which fell through due to Jon Pertwee's death - and the result was a story that in tone, characterisation and plot bear little resemblance to the original. (His Doctor Who audio dramas have a poor reputation, too, though.) Nonetheless it seems to hold a special place in the hearts of many who have sat through it, perhaps because once you abandon any hope at canonicity the script has enough cheese for a small moon and enough ham to give BRIAN BLESSED heartburn.The Syndeton Experiment, also by Barry Letts, was broadcast the following year. Research happened at some point, resulting in better characterisations for everyone but Servalan, who was transfigured into a seductive housewife: Jacqueline Pearce hammed it up with joy. As in Sevenfold Crown, all the Series 4 regulars were portrayed by the original cast save for Dayna and Soolin, who were replaced by new actors. B7 Productions: A Rebellion RebornIn 2007, B7 Productions, who own the rights to Blake's 7, announced three hour-long episodes to be broadcast on BBC Radio. Rather than wedge the stories into gaps in the canon timeline, as is common in expanded universes, "Rebel", "Traitor" and "Liberator" would be an Alternate Continuity retelling of the first series with detailed world-building and a new cast. Despite the changes (Jenna is American! Shock!) they were well received, and were followed up by a series of eight half-hour prequels, "The Early Years".The episodes star Derek Riddell as Blake, Colin Salmon as Avon, Carrie Dobro as Jenna, Daniella Nardini as Servalan and Craig Kelly as Travis; among the guest stars are Jan Chappell (Cally) and Michael Keating (Vila) from the original series. The entire series is available from Big Finish as a box set and download, while individual episodes can be found on iTunes. Big Finish: The Liberator Chronicles, The Classic Audio Adventures and The Worlds of Blake's 7All this excitement finally came to a head in 2011 when the much-loved Big Finish, producer of Big Finish Doctor Who and many other audio adaptations, announced The Liberator Chronicles, starring the original cast. A basic episode focuses on two characters, with e.g. Avon narrating and Vila joining in on the dialogue; however, several Chronicles have a cast of four or five.Two years later, to much rejoicing, the cast was reunited in Warship, a one-hour special set in the Intergalactic War between Seasons Two and Three. Effectively a pilot release, it proved so popular that Big Finish greenlit a series proper. Where the Liberator Chronicles are character-driven, The Classic Audio Adventures are longer and more dependent on plot. Five six-episode series were produced, the first taking place during Season B and the subesquent four taking place during Season C.Not all cast members returned. David Jackson (Gan) had passed away in 2005. Peter Tuddenham (Zen and Orac) had died in 2007, and his parts were played by Alistair Lock. Josette Simon (Dayna) has distanced herself from Blake's 7, as she felt that her character embodied an unpleasant "exotic warrior" sexual and racial stereotype; her absence was written into the S2 audios (set during Season C) as a plot point, before Yasmin Bannerman took up the role. Glynis Barber (Soolin) has said on Twitter that she would return if asked - it eventually came to light that rights reasons prevented Soolin's return, but Barber did indeed return in a new role. Gareth Thomas did return, but passed away in 2016 - all subsequent stories were set during Series C, when Thomas was no longer a regular cast member.After the deaths of Jacqueline Pearce in 2018 and Paul Darrow in 2019, The Classic Audio Adventures was wound up, and replaced by The World's Of Blake's 7, a new set of full-cast dramas taking place away from The Liberator, each featuring a few of the surviving original cast members (including a return from Colin Baker as the legendary guest character Bayban the Butcher) without recasting anyone other than Zen/Orac, who Alistair Lock continued to voice.

Psychological Thriller | |
| Blake's 7 (Audio Play) / int_23c8a228 | comment |
Psychological Thriller: "Fractures". The crew, split up as they try to repair a power failure, start getting disturbing and contradictory information over the comms. Blake ordered the power cut. Blake is trying to kill Vila. Vila is going mad. Jenna ordered the power cut. Cally is going mad. By the end of the episode, nobody trusts anybody, which suits the hate-feeding alien in the comms system down to the ground. | |

Tomato in the Mirror: The narrator in "Solitude", Vila, is actually a shapeshifting alien gestalt. It's handled rather cleverly, since the story is set to make the other character seem suspicious. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Blake's 7 (Audio Play) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: The first three episodes are a retelling of Series 1. While the basic outcomes and characterisation remain more or less the same (Blake is sent to Cygnus, then escapes on the Liberator), there are major changes to the setting and science fiction elements. Chief among these is the elimination of the teleport, which is replaced by a shuttle as budget is no longer a restriction, and the placement of the series in the 2200s (Blake's 7 had 700-year-old pioneer ships, assuming Federation history is to be trusted). | |

Bavarian Fire Drill | |
| Blake's 7 (Audio Play) / int_62fd5552 | comment |
Bavarian Fire Drill: A serial case in "Counterfeit". Blake bluffs his way into a scientific work camp as a new prisoner. Above ground, Avon uses the power of sheer arrogance to impersonate Space Commander Travis (a man, let us remind you, with one eye and an artificial hand). Eventually, however, they're both unmasked and Supreme Commander Servalan herself arrives to take the prisoners off the Governor's hands. They recognise her at once of course - the way she dominates the room, the white dress, the hair. It's Jenna. | |

Turing Test: In "The Turing Test", unsurprisingly enough, but with a twist. Avon, masquerading as an android, is given the test with what he assumes is a human scientist at the far end. His opponent turns out to be a real, advanced android, which is why the scientists were so willing to accept Avon as one - but he's human. So what is she? | |

Lighter and Softer: The Federation is pragmatically evil rather than cartoonishly evil in this continuity. For example rather than planting memories in children’s heads to frame Blake they use “computer generated puppets” to give evidence by video link in the court case. | |

Divide and Conquer | |
| Blake's 7 (Audio Play) / int_e7bfdba | comment |
Divide and Conquer: The conflict in "Fractures" comes from the pre-existing weaknesses in the Liberator crew, with a shapeshifting alien sabotaging the power system so they must split up to fix it and then slowly pushing each one into paranoia. | |

You Are Number 6: The android 14 in "The Turing Test". Avon wonders what happened to the earlier thirteen versions - turns out they were all sacrificed as distractions whenever the station was raided. | |

Depending on the Writer | |

Depending on the Writer: Or, in this case, Depending On Whether The Writer Has Watched The Show (he hasn't). The result is a severe case of character derailment for the entire cast, including a gluttonous Vila (an accidental substitute for his alcoholism?), a helpless Soolin, and an Avon who wants to take over the galaxy, apparently. | |
