Very much so I think. He was in The Strangerers, that slightly funny thing they did on Sky One. Was a bit chubby in that!

Ah, I see. I'll put those hopes on the back shelf for now then, next to Meltdown Man 2, but before Halo Jones book 4 :o)

Yeah, always best to assume these things won't happen and if they do they'll be awful and you'll be fine :)

Hmmm, last I heard Blake's 7 Enterprises were planning on bringing it back as a CGI cartoon (ick) set 20 years after the original that doesn't feature any of the original cast.

Although all they've succeeded in doing so far is repeatedly delaying the release of the DVD boxset on the grounds of 'quality concerns'.

I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.

Umm, not sure what he looks like, fortunately.

Ugh, just checked, I'll vote for him being the first federation guard shot by an unconvincing pulse of light in the first episode :o)

Holly from Red Dwarf for the voice of Orac!

Oh yeah, and Kevin Spacey for Villa!

Kevin Spacey would be spot-on for Villa.

I'd like to see Blake's 7 return, as long as they somehow incorporate a quad bike.

Hooray for quad bikes!

They'd be hard pressed to surpass the quad bikes featured in the original series - New Romantic space pirates on quad bikes led by ex Kray twin bodyguard Nosher Powell and his brother, Dinny...
