Blake’s 7: An Oral History of the Classic UK Sci-Fi Series

by Joe Nazzaro

From 1978 to 1981, the cult sci-fi action-adventure series Blake’s 7 ran on British television, often attracting as many as ten million viewers, who were hooked on the adventures of freedom fighter Roj Blake and his band of intrepid rebels as they battled the evil Federation. When the series ended after four seasons, it was with a stunning cliffhanger, that saw Blake and his cohorts seemingly killed off, assuring B7 a place in TV posterity.

Blake’s 7: An Oral History chronicles the show’s development through the eyes of dozens of cast and crew members, including series creator Terry Nation, as well as actors, producers, directors, makeup, costume and special FX technicians.

Joe Nazzaro is an American journalist, who has covered Blake’s 7 for nearly four decades. He has written countless magazine articles, as well as books about Star Trek, Red Dwarf, Babylon 5, Neverwhere and Farscape.
