I have recently seen an episode of Blake's 7 on KPBS in San Diego. I thought it was really quite good. The technical aspects and plot development are a lot like Doctor Who, though this particular story line did come right out of Star Trek. Anyway, what I like to know is if anyone out there knows the show and can give me some information on it, such as who are these people? how did they get together? and why? Just what is the basic plot line and any background on the characters. (I was able to figure out that Blake and his crew are the good guys.) Also, Blake and his crew only total to six, who is number 7? :

Germany Keywords: Number 7 is of course ORAK, the marvelous little computer with all the blinky lights. The plot is simple: nasty woman, Servelan, who is a servant to the "Federation" (something nasty like the Empire in Star Wars) always interferes with the rebels (a superset of Blakes 7). Personally I love Servelan. She's so cool and menacing and sexy. Bit of a praying mantis: you fall in love with her and then she bites your head off...(which one is another matter ;-)) She has a tendency to crop up from time to time, giving everyone headaches. Like JR Ewing, she is responsible for most of the nastiness that hits the crew. No matter what happens, she in there somewhere...
