This is in Blake. No Liberator guns. Plot device to explain why some survived and others didn't. Who survived would depend on which actors wanted to do more, but the different weapons set up an explanation.

Blake's 7 - First Time Watching on BritBox
- Thread starter JD
- Start date
The side mission that I think I remember is inside the Big finish story, which i linked to.
As much as I would have loved them just killing the enemy for 2 hours, it would have gotten repetitive.
Ah British scifi.... I remember this show well. Did you get to that episode with the really cheesy robot doing guard patrol in what looks so obviously a disused power or gas plant?
Also yeah one of the few shows to not have happy ending

Actually, some of those power stations weren't disused. Jan Chapell (Cally) had it written into her contract for later seasons that she wouldn't film scenes set in nuclear power stations since she was planning children.
They were all active. You get less radiation there than in Cornwall, or anywhere else with granite, and have badges to track it, but she was still worried.
OMG OK did not know they were filming on active sites
Weren't any disused nuclear stations then. All active, with big protection. Not remotely as dodgy as Chernobyl (Dad first knew about that because the detectors went off. After checking it hadn't come from any UK plants he checked with the Swedes, then rang a backroom channel to the USSR. They said "First I've heard, but then they wouldn't tell me...")
If that was directed at me, then no, I only watched the first three episodes before I got sidetracked by other stuff. I'm gonna go back to it once I finish the other stuff I've been watching like Britannia Season 2, 1883, Y: The Last Man, and Station Eleven. This will probably replace the first one of those four I finish.
And Idris Elba was Blake!
I like that prequel/reboot series. Really nice set up and serious tone. If they reimagine the series I would like something similar to this.
Idris Elba was mentioned as Blake in a lot of rumours about a remade TV series around that time, but Blake in the audio reboot was played by Derek Riddell.
Did anyone see the artwork for the proposed reboot with the grungy looking new version of the Liberator?
Why do all the spaceships and art in reboots have to have this grungy dirty look? What's with that?

Is this it? Google is turning up a lot of dead sites trying to dig into this.

I'm trying to think of some of the other dead projects out there. At one time, Drew Barrymore was looking into a remake of Barbarella. Robert Rodriguez was going to do Red Sonja with Rose McGowan. BSG with Bryan Singer and Tom Desanto. We eventually had pilots leaked of Wonder Woman with David E Kelley and Adrianne Palicki and of John Woo's Lost in Space. Any other might have beens?
That's exactly the one. I hate it
Ah, you are right. I am mixing it up with a magazine cover I saw with Idris as Blake.
There was an audio reboot/recast in 2007.

It's weird that the reboot fazed out instantly, yet 15 years later the original cast is still putting out content.
