It seems that Blake 7's return has only now 'officially' been announced. So I guess me mumbling about it for the last 8 months was jumping the gun a bit. Ahem.
Anyway, the announcement has finally been made by Sky for two hour long programmes in preparation for a full series if it goes down well.

And it'll be interesting to see if Servalan remains as strong a character as she was twenty-seven years ago.
Does Angus know whether it'll be framed as a remake or a sequel? A big part of what makes the originals pop is Paul Darrow's Avon, and they won't have that. The stories were intermittently clever too, and they won't have Terry Nation... but I suppose done well it could be "the British Firefly". Well, I suppose the original already was.
Of course this has not been officially announced so it's purely Angus speculation you understand...
Well, they would.
One imagines that this is not a random coincidence...
I won't believe it until I see it.
