Thank you for your comment, it means a lot to us and to the fans of the series. We are truly saddened by the loss of the cast and crew members of Blake's 7, they were all incredibly talented and dedicated individuals who brought the series to life. The Liberator and the characters that it carried have become a true sci-fi icon and will always be remembered as one of the greatest series ever. We're glad that you enjoyed the video and that you share our appreciation for the series, its characters and its legacy.
@@Advances_in_Perspective Nice Video And A Great Tribute To Blakes7 BUT You Forgot To Mention That The Liberator Was The Fastest And Most Powerful Ship In The Galaxy And The Evil Federation Had NOTHING That Could Touch It Or Match It's Very Impressive Specifications!!!
@@Advances_in_Perspective Very Nice Video BUT Please Do A Video About ORAC Who Quite Rightly Deserves A Video Of His Own!

The Liberator is my favourite spaceship of all time (and Blake's 7 my favourite sci-fi show of all time). I particularly like how when the crew were lost the ship travels around the Universe finding them and picking them up.
"The Liberator is my favourite spaceship of all time (and Blake's 7 my favourite sci-fi show of all time)". Same here. The program had some dodgy episodes, and the fourth season was largely a let down (though the final episode was superb), but at it's best, I think, Blake's 7 is probably the best science fiction TV program of all time. In the past, I was disappointed that the occasionally rumoured new series of Blake's 7 never came out. But then I realised that whoever made it would probably mess it up totally, like they do with seemingly all remakes or reboots (especially because so often they massively reduce, or even remove altogether, what was so good and popular about the original show), so overall I am just glad that they didn't tarnish the original with a very substandard remake or sequel.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Blake's 7 is your favorite sci-fi series. We're passionate about bringing fans of the show together and sharing our love for this classic series. We appreciate your support and are glad that we could bring a smile to your face.

well it wasn't intended to be a rebale warship, more like a ship of exploration for which the tiny crew should be comforible as they inteded the computers to do all thw work. ,In fact it builders try to take it back at one point. Its computer Zen had its own ideas about how it wanted to be used and when it was boarded by Blakes 7 it named the ship Liberator from the thoughts of one of its members.
It's lucky that they did have that nice conversation pit in front of the controls, because the crew from another show came in and smashed the "living quarters" set in between seasons 2 and 3.
Blake and his crew, The Liberator, the opening credits. after all these years one of the best sci-fi tv shows ever made. at 49 without having seen this show in some decades, even now i can hear that opening tune :) and everytime i hear John Miles hehe there can never be a remake but at least get this on a streamingservice please!
The more I watch the series the more I disagree with Blake's method of fighting the federation and not caring that his actions means the death of millions. See Star One. He only changes his mind because of the invading aliens.
@@daviniarobbins9298 Moral ambiguity was often a key feature. Jacqueline Pearce Saud that she thought Servalan would actually make a good president; that her scheming and plotting were all to do with gaining power and that once she got power she'd probably be a fair and just ruler for ordinary people. I'm not sure, myself, but it's an interesting observation.
It impressed me that for a ship with a hand held microphone for its engine and hypodermic needles for weapons it was quite good...zen was key to keeping the episodes consistent...
The Liberator never had a cloaking device. Avon device was more of a disordering mirror that reflected a slightly larger version of the attacking ship (making it look bigger, faster or better armed/ defended). It was an analogue version of a rock looking lifeform he discovered. Also Avon's device was never installed on to the Liberator but a short range craft (think the Apollo Luna Lander). It was used once to recapture the Liberator then forgotten about
@@jasonsimms7958 Yes, I'm sure we all know that but the video said that the Liberator had a cloaking device as well. Which it did not, the closest thing it did have was what Avon built for that single episode.
i always thought Zen the master computer was the most iconic piece of technology on the ship. and the ship didn't have a cloaking device, it was more of a stealth system/sensor jammer to hide from long and medium range scans
"Blake tells the crew that he was starting to believe in their legend but Gan's death has shown him they aren't invincible. He feels they need to restore their legend by attacking Servalan's base. Using a deflector shield devised by Avon to avoid detection, the Liberator launches a hit and run strike just as Samor is sentencing Travis to death." From the fandom site. It's obviously been too long since I saw the series last. :)
How come the female android didn't mention the second identical ship that appeared in the show as well as the smaller pursuit ships that had a similar design.
Do you remember, when they were first attacked by the red ball smaller ships, they didn't even recognise the similarity in the design? It struck me as odd at the time, I was only 10 years old. But, that aside, that episode, the atlas in their skin tight, blue lycra jumpsuits. mmmmmm. One of them was in the R White's Lemondae advert!! Their was life after The System!
"The crew was diverse..." But not diverse enough for today's BBC. I dread to think what the show would be like if ever it was remade (for remade read reimagined!) Will we ever be free?!
I really, really want to reply, but I fear I can't because I would be crucified! I dread to think what it would be like too, but cannot express my feelings. Great statement though.
the teleport was added to make it cheaper than showing a shuttle landing on different planets each episode, so the teleport was a Star Trek innovation.
You make a good point! While the use of the transporter on Star Trek was largely a budgetary consideration, it has since become an iconic part of the franchise and a staple of science fiction. It's interesting to consider how practical and budgetary constraints can often drive innovation and creativity, leading to some of the most iconic and memorable moments in sci-fi history. Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts with us!
Thanks for commenting! The concept of the singularity refers to a point in time where artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and leads to rapid and unstoppable technological progress. It's an exciting and sometimes controversial topic, and we're certainly interested to see how AI will continue to evolve in the coming years. Thanks for bringing this up!
DSV2/Liberator DID NOT have a Cloaking device!!! it had a "Force Wall" which acted similar to star wars deflector screens and was only effective for a limited time due to power requirements. the ships primary defence was its sheer speed at full power it could outpace most other ships in canon..
IF THE PRISONER TRANSPORT SHIP LONDON WAS 55m IN LENGTH THEN THE LIBERATOR MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 2500 FEET IN LENGTH FROM THE POINTED FRONT BACK TO THE FURTHEST PART OF THE GREEN POWERPLANT/PROPULSION DOME ! ! !🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I've stayed awake in more interesting power point presentations & in all the repeated droning information regarding the teleport, the various decks, you totally overlook the master computer\AI system Zen of the ship, that was often more fixated on the ships survival. I've watched non-fans express misery at it's "death" & you totally ignore it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the video and Blake's 7. I can understand why you feel that the video may have overlooked the importance of Zen, the ship's master computer and AI system, in the show. While the video may have focused more on other aspects of the show, it's important to acknowledge the crucial role that Zen played in the series. As you mentioned, Zen was often fixated on the survival of the ship, and his death was a poignant moment in the show. It's understandable that non-fans would also feel a sense of loss at his demise. In future videos, it might be worthwhile for the creators to delve more deeply into the role of Zen and other aspects of the show that may be overlooked. This could provide a more comprehensive and satisfying analysis for both fans and non-fans of Blake's 7.
I hate robotic voice videos and I hate this kind of video. It smacks of laziness. It looks like someone just went to the wiki page and did a copy and paste job. Also the video repeats itself several times.
Wow AI, is that all you got in making the case for Blake’s 7 Liberator one of the most powerful space vessels of its size and type of all time? What about those Neutron blasters? One of those has OVER FIVE TIMES THE VOLUME OF THE ENTIRE VOLUME of the Constitution class USS Enterprise (if you hold to HMS London being 55m long). Lieutenant Chekhov once said of the Enterprise that one photo torpedo could destroy HALF continent! So, ONE of Liberators Neutron Blasters (‘Neutron Blasters Cleared for firing’ - Love that phrase) must be able to RIP A CHUNK OUT OF A MOON IF NOT A PLANET! And all three blasters must be able to render any populated planet uninhabitable if not TOTALLY DESTROYED - DEATH STAR STYLE. Even thought not ventured in the Blake’s 7 series Liberator was a PLANET BUSTER NO DOUDTS. Plus, the Herculanium hull - Toughest metal in that galaxy (I believe able to repel lazar fire with the force wall NOT ACTIVATED. Plus, was not the green globe power source housing some sort of STAR? Plus, did not the Liberator routinely leave the galaxy on several occasions? A feat so incredible to STAR TREK, they dedicate whole episodes to it. YUP, Liberator is such a refreshing departure from STAR TREK saucer section secondary hull or block spaceship design which has dominated Sci - Fi spaceship design over the last half century. Liberator is a good old British NUTS AND BOLTS creation, designed to enter the battle-space, with insurgency, espionage capability; provided THE TWO MOST POWERFUL GALACTIC COMPUTATIONAL constructs encountered by man - ZEN and ORAC; or just plain blast the opposition to smithereens with QUADRILLION FOLD NEUTRONIC ENERGY BEAM WEAPONS. If anything, like SUPERMAN, BLAKE’S 7’S THE LIBERATOR IS OVER POWERED EVEN FOR ITS HUGE 2000 FT SIZE, MAKING IT FOR ME THE BEST SPACE SHIP OF ALL TIME - ONLY ONE WEEKNESS THOUGH; WE NEVER GOT TO SEE HER MAKE PLANET FALL OR COMFORTABLE SUBMERGE BENEATH AN ALIEN OCEAN - THAT WOULD JUST BE TO MUCH FOR MY GEEKY LITTLE HEART TO TAKE. YOUR MOVE A.I. P.S. Liberator should never have been destroyed, but maybe lost down a black hole or something P.P.S. Amazing that the Liberator was an accidental design, now wonder it still looks good moving BACKWARDS!!!
That AI is so damn irritating. She looks real enough but her voice - eugh. And you might have edited out the typos before she read them out verbatim. The Liberator is a beautiful ship. But it owes a massive debt to the design of the Enterprise from Star Trek, more than a decade previously. The teleport system was also a direct steal. I still prefer Blake's 7 to Star Trek though.
Wow! That was embarrassing and insulting. Who's idea was it to use a rubbish computer voice that could say "late 70's' properly. Please stop now. The Liberator & Blakes 7 deserve better.
The liberators design was an accident, the model maker misread the artist design and built the ship backwards, what are the 3 primary weapons were suppose to be rocket thrust ports, the glowing bulb engine was supposed to be the cockpit. This mistake created my most favourite spaceship of all time. It would have given Star Treks Enterprise a run for it's money.
Always felt that the Star Trek Federation too nice and clean and must be a facade and that underneath it must be a dystopian hell where everyone that didn't believe in its wonderfulness was taken away for re-education.
I wouldn't say "greatest". There are more "realistic" or practical designs out there, but the shape is recognizable and captures the imagination. It surely beats some of the greeble-encrusted bricks that are out there.
RIP Liberator, Paul Darrow, Gareth Thomas, David Jackson, Jacqueline Pearce and everyone involved with this great series.

hi the liberator is very much the best space ship and design of all others ever
i always thought Zen the master computer was the most iconic piece of technology on the ship.

Yes.
And the Liberator didn't come with that - it was one of Avon's inventions.
1:45 I don't recall the Liberator ever having or using a cloaking device. Can you point to the episode or episodes where this feature was activated?
I think this whole thing is AI-generated. It's hallucinating.
In the Season 2 episode "Trial". But it didn't come with the Liberator - it was one of Avon's inventions.

I LOVE BLAKE'S SEVEN IT WAS A SIFI SHOW LIKE NO OTHER
The System made this video about DSV1
Yes, I was about to say, that woman is an Alta.
ALTA ONE & ALTA TWO ! ! !👍
Could have done without the AI woman in the corner.
And the video never mentioned the Liberator's superior speed, shield or weapons.
How come the female android didn't mention the second identical ship that appeared in the show as well as the smaller pursuit ships that had a similar design.
DSV2?
Do you remember, when they were first attacked by the red ball smaller ships, they didn't even recognise the similarity in the design? It struck me as odd at the time, I was only 10 years old.

The Liberator is the greatest ship in any Sci-Fi show, ever made.
It's design is certainly unique and stands the test of time even today.

I presume the creepy AI narrator was a nod to Liberator's AI and ORAC.
It is in my mind. A spaceship that looked real. Unlike Enterprise's.

Battle Computers Online
The liberators design was an accident, the model maker misread the artist design and built the ship backwards, what are the 3 primary weapons were suppose to be rocket thrust ports, the glowing bulb engine was supposed to be the cockpit.
This mistake created my most favourite spaceship of all time.
It would have given Star Treks Enterprise a run for it's money.

Needs serious editing. Too much ai.
Over use of certain words was the worst.
Expand yr diction or get a thesaurus.

It's a great one but the all-time most iconic is still the original U.S.S. Enterprise.

In other words...Enterprise. This bloody women has never watched it.....she's a robot😮
The Liberator was an ugly design. But it was a good sci-fi show.
For me its the worst of all time...along with the show itself.
This women is a bloody useless autocue.....not. A head of is time it's a rip off of the Enterprise...dduuurrrr
