Federation Strike Podcast: A Journey Through Blake's 7

A promotional picture showing the cast of Blake's 7 from Series B.

Our next episode has been recorded for our Series B reviews. We're aiming to start putting these out in the next couple of weeks with a two-episode initial drop. We are loving chatting about Blake's 7 again 🙂

Oh, and a plug for the Northern Horizon convention later this year, which looks fantastic!

What's that? When are we recording our Series B reviews? Well... now! Episode 1, Redemption, is in the bag. Our second season covering all of Series B will land in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

That would be cool (current actors somehow involved). And agreed on US produced TV being spectacle more than story based. Some US TV can be amazing but with certain things like this, it doesn’t really fit.

😂

The crew of Blake's 7 from Series A aboard the Liberator with the text "Bonus: January 2026. The reboot news and thoughts" overlayed.

We're down and safe for our first episode of 2026 to discuss the recently announced Blake's 7 reboot plan, plus other B7 news.

Ha, gotcha. Yeah that’s effectively accurate. Samesies.

Hello Tufty! Indeed we are. Nice to see you still around 👍

We’ve just recorded a wee bonus ep to chat about the recent reboot news and a couple of other #blakes7 bits. Will drop in a day or two.

We LOVED recording and chatting all things B7 again and… we kick off our reviews for Series B soon!

Follow for all the Blake’s 7 goodness.

Wow, that’s fantastic Geoff, really glad you enjoyed it this time around. Sounds very similar to my experience of attempting to watch it before but then something clicks for you and it just takes off (excuse a pun). Look forward to having you with us when we go through season two. Thank you!

Get on them Tufty!

While we wait for the Blake’s 7 Series 2 (B!) Blu-ray box set, check out our review of Series A—plus bonus interviews with the team behind the Blu-ray releases!

Ah ok, cool. Not a terrible Who story that one and of course, Paul Darrow.

Yes! A classic. Looking forward to Badlands?

Sounds interesting, will take a look, thanks!

Nice. You've had a wee binge of a few things and love that you're at McCoy, my fav Who era! I haven't seen any Crown Court, any good?

How are we all doing, Blake's 7 Bluesky fans? What have you been re-watching of late?

When we resume the podcast for our next season, coinciding with the Blu-ray release (and the official Blu-ray launch event at the BFI, London), it's back to the Liberator for more reviews, interviews with the folks making the restorations, and more! Adam and I can't wait!!!

We've landed in August, which means another month closer to the Blake's 7 Series 2 blu ray set! 👍

Sounds great, Chris. Can't wait!

Amazing as always!

Ah ok, missed a couple? Get on it 👍

Yep same, should defo get it done and ready for S2 👍

This week I’ll mostly be diving into some of the special features I haven’t seen yet on the #blakes7 Series 1 blu ray. Who else is drumming their fingers waiting for the S2 blu ray to drop? 🚀

Ha, I read you. Some guests are... better than others at keeping the conversation flowing. Thanks as always for the kind words as always Jim 👍

Sadly, not Jim, due to time restraints. We have other podcasts and Adam runs a YouTube channel and general life stuff so... no time unfortunately. That's why we decided to do this as a seasonal podcast to coincide with the blu ray releases.

Paul is definitely an in-depth guy, ha ha. We enjoyed our chat with him, and yeah, I can understand why you'd switch off.

I said to Paul it’ll probably be about an hour, that’s what we’re aiming for… went out the window lol. It happens with guests sometimes.

Glad you’ve enjoyed this first season of ours Tufty and thank you for your comments, reposts, etc 👍
