Looks interesting but it is distributed through an ActiveX media player. Won't play for me on Ubuntu/Linux.
And there I was, thinking for an instant that the SciFi channel were doing it as a podcast.

Wow. Good cast. Looks like it might be worth booting into Windows for.

Blake's 7 Enterprises has completed the recording of the series. Consisting of thirty-six five minute Blake's 7 audio adventures written by Aaronovitch, Platt and Swallow. Described as a "radical new re-interpretation of Terry Nation's original series", the series will star Derek Riddell as Blake, Colin Salmon as Avon and Daniela Nardini as Servalan with Craig Kelly, Carrie Dobro, Michael Praed, Doug Bradley and India Fisher. Beginning in Spring 2007, it will be broadcast on the UK's Sci Fi channel's website.
It's really, really good. I've gone through the 4 parts. I took some time to see if I could find a way to get copies - no dice. So I'll be visiting the site regularly :)
There is some interesting info here about an "update" to the series. Wish I got UK television....
