Blake's 7: The Beginning

BLAKES 7 THE BEGINNING An all-action space adventure of an interplanetary resistance group battling for survival against a galactic super-power. It's a nightmare world controlled by ruthless bureaucracy which achieves total domination by contaminating the air and water with tranquilising drugs. Any remaining opposition is quickly and effectively silenced for ever. After a rigged trial, resistance leader Blake is banished to the penal colony of Cygnus Alpha. But as the prison spaceship speeds off towards its dreaded destination, an abandoned ship-the Liberator-pulls up alongside. For Blake and his courageous band of convicts it's now their only hope of escape. © BBC
