The Way Ahead 40th Anniversary Special (CD)

A brand new two-hour drama celebrating the 40th anniversary of Terry Nation's classic Blake's 7 series. The Way Ahead - by Mark Wright Part 1: Project Aquitar, Part 2: Dissent. Roj Blake. Kerr Avon. Names that sent shockwaves through the galaxy, shattering the foundations of the Terran Federation and giving hope to the oppressed. But what is their legacy? Crusading heroes or dangerous enemies of the state? In the early days of Blake’s rebellion, the Liberator comes to Malanar Delta to aid resistance leader Avalon, but the crew find Space Commander Travis and his Federation forces waiting. An abandoned Federation research project could give Travis the key to finally bringing Blake to justice. Years later, in the aftermath of the Galactic War, Avon and the Liberator crew fight to survive as new battle lines are drawn and alliances forged by President Servalan. Will survival be enough when a symbol of hope is turned into a devastating engine of war? Blake's 7 proves to be one of Big Finish's most popular ranges, with fans of the original late 1970s BBC1 series enjoying many of the TV actors returning to their roles. This set marks the 40th anniversary of this hugely popular and influential British cult Sci -Fi series screening on BBC1 in 1978. The story is set in the past, present and future of the TV series, and includes Glynis Barber (who originally played gunfighter Soolin) back with the franchise for the first time since the series’ dramatic finale. Yasmin Bannerman (Doctor Who, Merseybeat) has been cast as Dayna Mellanby, a character originally played by Josette Simon.
