Another Blakes 7 fan here. I watched the show when it was stripped on US tv, but I started with season 4, so I'm biased towards that end of it. (The very early episodes remind me too much of early Dr. Who, which is not a plus in my book.)

I've described the show to non-viewers, thinking of course of seasons 3-4, by saying, "Imagine ST:TOS with the Enterprise a fugitive ship on the run from the Federation. Kirk disappears, and Spock starts to crack under the stress of command. Imagine that, and you'll have something a bit like Blakes 7."
