30 Days of Blake's 7 - day 30

Day 30: Would you like to see a modern remake?

Very probably not. The characters won't be the ones we know, they'll make the universe even bleaker and 'grittier', and evil will still win. This is not what we need right now in this increasingly cruel and fascist world.

But hey, they could surprise me and recreate our favourite characters and give them hope, maybe even taking the story beyond Gauda Prime as was once intended. Yeah, right.

All the original questions are on Tumblr.

Sorry to butt in but gosh yes! Servalan and Thatcher could indeed be seen as similar! Thanks for that information about what happened when Blake's 7 was shown, I was about 9 when it came out so I can't remember all that. lol!

Also this is a great point you make:
Sadly it's highly unlikely that a story where the 'terrorists' were the good guys, fighting a cruelly oppressive and clearly fascist government, would get made nowadays.

These days it will be a quandary for the producers of the upcoming Blake's 7 reboot to navigate. We'll see if they manage it!
