Actor Paul Darrow died aged 78.
For those of you old enough to remember "Blake's Seven"
he played Kerr Avon the computer genius.
He's taken his final journey on the spaceship Scorpio.

They should bring 'Blake's seven' back for a remake....as long as they keep the PC t0ssers away from it.

Oh and change that frigging last episode where they turned Blake into a villain.

It ruined it.

RIP Paul Darrow I always though he's was a more interesting character than Blake played by Gareth Thomas who was a major luvvie and claimed never to have seen the program.

My Hollywood remake would be:


Blake: Kevin Costner or Tom Cruise
Avon: Keanu Reeves
Vila: Peter Kay
Jenna: Jennifer Lawrence
Cally: Lena Headey
Servalan:Emilia Clark

FYI
My cousin appeared in a number of episodes

I'm sorry guys but in what universe was Blakes's Seven ever good?
No disrespect intended to the actor but the show was truely awful.
When I think of how many decent Sci fi series have come and gone over the years, some unfairly canned well before their time, I cannot see how drivel like Blakes Seven ever deserves a mention.
I've been watching Space 1999 recently and can't believe how terrible it was. It's entertaining only because it is so bad.

It makes you realise why Star Trek is held in such high esteem.

I watched Charlie's Angels for my adolescent cheap thrills.
