What, indeed, do Hoar and Bouch need to get right? I grew up loving these characters, and I've written for Blake's 7 on audio, so I have a few thoughts…

Dear Peter Hoar and Matthew Bouch,

Congratulations on securing the rights to make new Blake's 7, a sci-fi series that I dearly love. I'm afraid super-computer Orac isn't available to set a course that will maximise your chances of success, but here I am instead!

When Blake's 7 was first broadcast on BBC One (1978-1981), the likes of Terry Wogan and Clive James used to mock its wobbly sets and storylines. Wogan even called it "Shaky Spaceships" and organised a whip-round to pay for better effects. But…
