Podcast Overview

Blake's 7 is one of British television's most compelling sci-fi series. Created by Terry Nation and broadcast on the BBC from 1978 to 1981, it followed a ragtag group of rebels taking on a ruthless authoritarian government that controlled the galaxy. Gritty, morally complex and frequently brilliant. Federation Strike covers it from start to finish. Every episode, every season, every twist. Hosting the show are Garry, watching Blake's 7 for the very first time, and Adam, a lifelong fan who has seen it all many times over. Between them, you get two very different perspectives on the same show, and that gap is where most of the fun happens. New episodes drop weekly throughout each season.

B09: Countdown: The Bomb Was Never the Problem

<p><strong>Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!</strong></p><p>A spoiler straight out the gate from us: Countdown is the best episode we've covered in our entire Blake's 7 journey so far, and we're calling that without hesitation. It's a Terry Nation script with a cold open that throws you straight into a firefight, a ticking clock that builds real tension, and loads of character work packed into 50 minutes.</p><p>The Avon and Del Grant thread is where we spend the most time: what's actually driving Avon in those scenes, what Blake quietly stepping up for him reveals, and why a seemingly throwaway scene between Provine and a rebel is one of the most morally loaded things the show has done.</p><p>We also talk about Vila getting some brilliant moments, our ongoing frustration with Jenna and Cally being sidelined for what feels like the fourth episode running, and the Blu-ray's new effects, which genuinely impress us more here than anywhere else in Series B so far.</p><p>We're teleporting out for now! Thanks for listening, and don't forget to follow and subscribe on your preferred podcast app so you never miss an episode.</p><p>You can also join the conversation and stay updated by following us on <a href="https://x.com/Blakes7Podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter/X</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/blakes7podcast.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>.

B08: Hostage: A Trap, A Traitor, and a Very Tired Vila

<p><strong>Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!</strong></p><p>Right, Blake fans: Hostage, and the verdict is in early: this is a thumping good episode. The script is razor-sharp, the crew actually gets equal footing for once, and the stakes feel real from the opening battle sequence. Later on, Brian Croucher gets a scene that Blake fans have been quoting for decades. You know the one. Ha!</p><p>We dig into the Avon twist that neither of us saw coming, the Servalan and Travis scene that somehow makes the episode slow down and speed up at the same time, and the slightly eyebrow-raising farewell between Blake and his cousin. A lot to love in this one, with a few things to poke at too.</p><p>We're teleporting out for now!

B07: Killer: Robert Holmes Brings Dark Sci-Fi to Blake's 7

<p><strong>Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!</strong></p><p>The first Robert Holmes script for Blake's 7, and Garry and Adam both agree it has a noticeably different tone to what the show has been doing. Robert Holmes's fingerprints are all over it, and that, concerning this episode, is a good thing.</p><p>The big talking points: why the Avon and Vila pairing works so well here, what Tynus's betrayal says about the kind of company Avon keeps, and whether Blake's inexplicable calm in enemy territory is great character writing or just a quirk of the production order.</p><p>Plus: outfits that not even Paul Darrow can carry off, Gan's ghost in the production timeline, and Garry very nearly ordering the Blake's 7 DVD set after a couple of Guinness.</p><p>We're teleporting out for now!
