Blake's 7 (audio drama)

There have been three producers of Blake's 7 audio dramas: BBC Radio, B7 Productions and Big Finish Productions.

In 1998, the series returned to the BBC on the radio. The stories were set during the fourth series between the episodes Stardrive and Animals. They were broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

In 2006, B7 Productions announced that it had recorded a series of 36 five-minute audio adventures. The new series was broadcast on BBC Radio 7 as three hour-long episodes.

Freedom and Justice are things of the past.

Roj Blake stood up for the ordinary people. When the establishment tried intimidation he laughed in their faces. When they tried to crush him he fought back. When they tried to brainwash him into obedience, he broke their conditioning. Finally they framed him and sentenced him to permanent exile on the notorious prison planet Cygnus Alpha.

The Federation thinks it has seen the last of Roj Blake.

The Federation will wish it had...

B7 Productions also produced series of 30-minute prequel audio episodes, which explored the earlier histories of the central characters. These were broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra from 2010.

In 2011, Big Finish Productions, under licence from B7 Productions, announced that it would be producing a series of audio dramas which would be " ... a series of exciting, character-driven tales that remain true to the original TV series. We’re aiming for authenticity – recreating the wonder of 1978 all over again!”

For Avon it’s the opportunity to renew life without Blake.

But can Trent be trusted?

She prescribes drugs and the use of the alleviator – a device that will dig deep into his memories – to unlock the truth about Carlin Guzan.

But the truth that she exposes is far more shocking than she bargained for...

Some time ago, Blake and his crew were helped by a revered Auron scientist named Gustav Nyrron. He stayed aboard the Liberator for a time, and then disappeared.

Cally wants to know what happened to Nyrron, and only Servalan knows the answers.

These are a series of Big Finish Productions single CD releases featuring the complete cast of the TV series reprising their roles.
