Blake's 7 and Redemption

[watervole]

We're pleased to announce that James Swallow, one of the writers of the new Blake's 7 audio series, will be our guest at Redemption this February.

He has written audios for Dr Who and a Warhammer 40,000 novel besides a wide range of other writing and editing work.

Come and see the man who *ISN'T* Barry Letts!

Find out how the new series will tackle the characters we know and love. How will our modern age deal with the freedom fighter/terrorist debate?

He's also written for Judge Dredd, done lots of videogame stuff, and even sold a couple of Voyager TV episodes.

even sold a couple of Voyager TV episodes.

This is a recommendation???

Incidentally, what period are the audio tapes doing? As I happen to think the series jumped the shark around, oh, say Gambit (as there are only three episodes after that point worth watching - Star One, City at the Edge of the World and Sarcophogus - and I can live without them if I have to) I'm really only interested if we go back to the original crew.

I'm hoping the audios will go right back to the beginning and do a totally new interpretation of the story. This is a new cast job, so they're not tied into any bad continuity from the old series.

It's a chance to plan from the start and I'm hoping they've taken it.

I think it's a total reboot a la Battlestar

Have you ever listened to 'The Sevenfold Crown'? He wrote it...

Lucky you! Some of us have had our brains forever defiled. At least I heard it first on the radio and so didn't waste any money on the tape.
