Blake's 7 (series): Difference between revisions

''Blake's 7'' was a {{w|dystopian}} [[science fiction]] series produced by the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]] at [[BBC Television Centre]] from 1978 to 1981. Since it was produced essentially "next door" to ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the shows shared many cast and crew members. Perhaps the most notable connection is that ''Blake's 7'' was created and often written by [[Terry Nation]], a frequent ''Doctor Who'' writer who invented the [[Dalek]]s. [[Paul Darrow]], [[Michael Keating]], [[Jacqueline Pearce]], [[Peter Tuddenham]] and [[Brian Croucher]], who all had starring roles in ''Blake's 7'', have appeared as guest stars on ''Doctor Who''. Notable guest stars on ''Blake's 7'' included [[Robert Beatty]], [[Leslie Schofield]], [[Brian Blessed]], [[Pamela Salem]], [[Deep Roy]], [[Peter Miles]], [[Peter Craze]], [[John Leeson]], [[David Bailie]], [[Julian Glover]], [[John Bennett (actor)|John Bennett]], [[Brian Miller (actor)|Brian Miller]], [[Jane Sherwin]], [[Morris Barry]], [[John Abineri]], [[Kevin Stoney (actor)|Kevin Stoney]], [[Tom Chadbon]], [[Aubrey Woods]], [[Denis Carey]], [[Bruce Purchase]], [[Richard Franklin]], [[Michael Sheard]], [[Michael Gough]], [[Valentine Dyall]], [[Ronald Leigh-Hunt]], [[Stewart Bevan]], [[Lynda Bellingham]], [[Richard Hurndall]] and [[David Collings]].
