I loved Blake's 7 as a boy. Having been brought up on Star Wars, this was more sci-fi goodness to my young mind. I loved the spaceships and the characters, including the evil Servalan, played so brilliantly by Jacqueline Pearce. It was a wonderful show in its time, even if, unlike Star Wars, it hasn't aged particularly well! Nevertheless, I have extremely fond memories of first watching the show in the 70's and 80's, and Jacqueline Pearce will always be a fundamental part of that.
Rest in peace, Jacqueline.
