Blake's 7 - 1978 - 1981


Blake's 7 is a science fiction television series that was created by 
Terry Nation and produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation 
(BBC). Four series (each consisting of thirteen 50-minute episodes) 
were made and first broadcast in the United Kingdom between 
January 1978 and December 1981 on BBC

The program is set in the third century of the second calendar, 
and at least 700 years in the future. Blake's 7's narrative follows the 
exploits of political dissident Roj Blake, who leads a small group of 
rebels against the forces of the totalitarian Terran Federation, which 
rules the Earth and many colonized planets. The Federation uses mass 
surveillance, brainwashing and drug pacification to control its citizens. 
Blake discovers he was once the leader of a revolutionary group and is 
arrested, tried on false charges, and deported to a remote penal colony. 
En route he and fellow prisoners Jenna Stannis and Kerr Avon gain control of a technologically advanced alien spacecraft, which they name Liberator. 
Liberator's speed and weaponry are superior to Federation craft, and it 
also has a teleportation system that enables transport to the surface of planets. 
Liberator is controlled by Zen, the ship's central computer. Blake and his crew
begin a campaign to damage the Federation, but are pursued by Space 
Commander Travis – a Federation soldier – and Servalan, the Supreme 
Commander and later Federation President.
