Liberation: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Blake's 7

by Alan Stevens & Fiona Moore
with a foreword by David Maloney (Producer of Seasons 1-3)

A Telos Factual Guide

From its first appearance in 1978 to its final episode in 1981, Blake's 7 was a series which pushed back the boundaries of what was possible in TV science fiction.

Despite the attempts made by critics over the years to deride it for its low-budget special effects, sometimes-dubious costume design and overly middle-class casting, Blake's 7 continues to remain popular and to gain new audiences, due to its intelligent treatment of powerful themes of human evil, rebellion, love and death.

In this book, Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore go beyond the stereotypes and look at the background to and the writing of the stories.

Including technical details, overviews of the production of the series and in-depth analyses of every episode, together with a number of previously-unpublished photographs, this book is the ideal companion for anyone interested in the development of TV science fiction during the late seventies.

"... a wealth of detail about the early development of the series."

From the foreword by series producer David Maloney.
