Another UA-cam channel is stealing UA-cam fan videos and is touting them as their own work - @lego4281 .
What I love about this trailer, is that despite it being such an old TV series, you haven't put any spoilers in it. Fantastic work.
Thank you. I've done my best to avoid them. A newby could watch series 2 trailers without any spoilers, but after that they should avoid.
Blake7 remade very well in the right hands with a budget it deserves, alien, dark and dystopian would be a killer.
It was in the right hands until Paul Darrow died 😢
Now, who knows?
A remake would be a disaster. What is it that people don’t understand when we had the best cast already, no matter what was thrown at a remake it would be so much less. Specially in an age of virtual signalling. Just look how Dr Who has been all but ripped apart.
@@xr6lad Yes what made it work and resonate and still have a huge following is the writing. And the cast. It was perfect. There is no one else who could play Avon, Villa, Blake or Servalan....no one close. Gan, Jenna and Calley were also truly unique and fantastically played and the first Travis was a stand out. The BBC would never make it as well as it was done then. All the diversity boxes would be ticked over writing and talent...
That was BRILLIANT ! How series trailers should be done.
Essential viewing growing up. I’m not sure a modern remake would work today - there’s something very special about B7 just as it is. Just awesome! CONFIRMED! ;)
They tried to revive the series several times, but it always fell through. Maybe it was fate trying to say something.
@@Goodiesfanful yes I think so. Let’s face it - a new B7 over 40 years after the original would need to be so removed from the original you might as well not call it B7! What made it so great wouldn’t work today.
I sometimes think that FarScape was a B7 remake for the 2000s. Ok, Maybe not a remake so much as "inspired by". It certainly felt like B7 had a lot of influence on it anyway.
Oh, this was beautiful and brilliant - a wonderful tribute. I got shivers watching this one.
Brilliant work.
I always go back to 'The Story of Avon and Blake' over the years - I cry.
And I always go back to Blake's 7 Hollywood Style and cry again.
Thank you for these great tributes.
Me too! I do that. And I go back to zukalis fanvids. Her very best This Is The End , is down, but This Is War, so good and lots more, I think
Fantastic work again SciFiAssassin!
Thank you!
Was looking for Commander, Nah Supreme Commander's " MAXIMUM POWER!!"🧡
Madame President!
Blake,s Seven was an awesome science fiction series in billions of ways a shame it ended and also a shame the arch-enemy Servalan herself was omitted from the final ever B7 episode and also she was the best character in B7 having a female arch-enemy was awesome
Servalan wasn't visible in the final episode, but I always felt like she was there in the background. That setup had her high heel marks all over it.
The upgraded effects are great.
I got shivers.
OMG!!! Our current movies can't compare!
Not sure the legality but really surprised no major studio has acquired the rights. The late Paul Darrow tried his hardest as I recall to get momentum and its a huge shame he never got to reprise his role in one shape or another. Then again with all the ideological maelstrom surrounding much of the big studio management and content it might be best to run silent until someone with a deep passion gets to grips with B7 once more.
He did get to reprise the role in the audioplays, which featured most of the original cast
First one was called Warship, and filled in the gap between seasons 2 and 3
The quality of the material is great, he absolutely would have been the man to helm a remake/reboot and keep it true to the original
That last bit with Zen just gets you in the gut!! 😢
That scene is the only moment of sentiment in all 52 episodes.
Excellent job! Congratulations. Loved this show when I was a kid and your triler makes me love it all the more.
Very nicely done.
Wow!! Love it!
Thank you for commenting!
Awesome!!
Servalan - sexy forever!! ❤
good stuff
Awesome... Are you going to do series 4?
Yes, and it's a fiddle. Doing the pretentious cover of a classic song with BWAAAHS style this time.
I
Love
😍 BLAKES 7 🎉
Forever!
Series C is my least favourite, but you have made it look amazing :)
Thank you, but it was easy as it's the best looking of the four series.
@@SciFiAssasin That's interesting, why do you feel like that?
@@medievalist Production design and lighting are fantastic.
@@SciFiAssasin Oh, interesting to hear :) I tend not to notice things like that.
I thought Colin Baker was awesome as Bayban in city at the edge of the world IMO he should have been cast as Blake he would have been an awesome Blake in billions of ways and had Colin played Blake he would have been a completely different Blake from Gareth Thomas and also Colin Baker had he played Blake would never have left B7 after series 2 and that would have meant that series 3 and 4 if we got a series 4 would never have had Tarrant in as a member of the crew .Tarrant only came along because Blake went
Colin is fun as Bayban, but Gareth is perfect as Blake. Yeah, he wasn't committed to the role as Terry Nation would've liked, but it mostly works.
Colin Baker was a horrible Doctor and would have made an even worse Blake. He was fine here hamming it up in a one note role, but that's as much a contribution to Blake's Seven as we needed from him.
Great stuff.
I certainly would have said series 3 of B7 is definitely better than series 2 and also the arch-enemy Servalan as the president is awesome in billions of ways and I am glad Servalan as the regular villain no longer as to deal with Travis who should really gone out of B7 at the end of series 1 instead of been continued in series 2 with a different actor. I would always say that series 2 of B7 would have been better served if a different character with a totally new name had been created to replace Travis as the arch-enemy Servalan,s henchman that would have done series 2 of B7 more trade in billions of ways
Season 2 had the cool overarching story about finding Star One, but season 3 was overall better (and did a great job carrying on with the serialisation, very ahead of its time)
