One of my favourite episodes of Blake’s 7, a British sci-fi series that had a four-year run in the early 80s. “Terminal” is Episode 39, the last episode of the third season, notable because during this episode the crew – what was left of “Blake’s 7″ and a couple of new people – traveled in their loyal ship The Liberator for the last time. I apologize for some quality defects in the video. This is a digitized copy of a very old video tape, but it will have to do until we can get the series on DVD.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

This was originally written on the assumption that it MIGHT be the final episode. Only later did the Beeb decide to commission a fourth series. (The day this was broadcast, in fact.)
It probably would have been better if this WERE the last episode. The fourth series had a few good eps, but it was a bit of a mess, and the characters didn’t seem to have any real motivation.

And so sad that Zen’s final words are: “I have failed you…”
Cally was gorgeous
I remember watching it on a Dallas television station in the mid 80s.
Any Amercians out there who have seen, or even know of, Blake’s 7?
When did it reach your screens?
It came to Australia in early 1979.
@jlmww Quite right . No Terry Nation, no Daleks!
Where would DW be without Mr. Nation inventing what turned out to be the Doctor’s most famous and greatest adversaries?
Cooooooooooooooool… Thanks for the upload. Sure brought back my old memories :=)

I am gutted.. the remake
@nickmctrick
Not enough people ever saw this series. Fortunately, the PBS station in Dallas showed them all years ago.
Terry Nation started his career as a comedy writer, but then he wrote a series of scripts for DR WHO — creating the Daleks. Later he created two science fiction series of his own, BLAKES 7 and THE SURVIVORS, which I’ve never seen.
Sadly, never heard of this. Didn’t Terry Nation do some Dr.Who as well?
one of my favorite shows when i was a lad!!!
My favourite episode. Saw this as a kid was well gutted when the ‘Liberator’ was destroyed. One of the coolest looking space craft ever!
Love Blakes 7!!!
why shows like this never got US DVD treatment is truly anybody’s guess
@SuzanneCromie nothing could get me away from the tv when this show was on back in the eighties, I can remember getting excited just before the show started.
I share your feeling. I used to do the same thing with Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Yes, would make up excuse to watch Blakes 7 and not go out
Do you mean you would rather make up any fabricated excuse to stay in other than: “Sorry, I’m watching Blake’s Seven”? Were you embarassed?
I never missed an episode of Blakes 7. Its is the best thing to come out of Great Britain. Back in my Uni days, I use to make up any excuse to watch Blake’s 7 rather than go out. Well done BBC and cast.
Blakes 7 is still worthy watching today, in same vain as Hogans Heroes, whose humour is still funny 40 years on

I’m glad I could help.
After all, I have a great many I’m-right-and-the-rest-of-the-world-is-wrong moments myself.
Fab! I ‘m not crazy…. none of my lot can remember this.. It was one of my favorites.. Ha Ha.. now who’s lost it. :0)
Thanks for putting them up!
Evidently not. These clips I put up get many more comments than I’d expected.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who appreciated Blakes 7.
Ooooo. I’m intimidated by “in-depth” quizzes, but I’ll give it a go.
