Blake 's 7 is a British science fiction television series that was produced from 1978 to 1981 for the BBC. There are four seasons, each with 13 episodes, all of which were not seen on German television.

The title character is played by Gareth Thomas Blake. With his crew of outlaws he makes the universe uncertain, while the " Federation" is behind them. Their leader Servalan is a strong and fearsome woman who constantly drops its allies in the back.

Unlike series like Doctor Who female protagonists are not only there to provide a beautiful sight or to be rescued by the male hero, but each have skills that they bring to the action, such as Cally (Jan Chappell ) that has psi abilities or Jenna ( Sally Knyvette ), which is a good pilot.
