Blake's 7 is finally getting a Blu-ray release! Series 1 is coming out in the UK on November 11. Here's the trailer.
It'll be six discs, with a ton of extras.
It's largely being handled by the same team that's doing the classic Doctor Who Blu-rays, which have been a treasure trove of video restoration and special features. I'm quite excited.
The updated special effects appear to be new modelwork and not just CGI. That's really neat.
