Blake's 7 star Jacqueline Pearce dies aged 74 after lung cancer diagnosis

Yes, farewell to the woman who apparently started many men's fantasy of being dominated by a tough woman before they were old enough to know what that actually was

She also was in a couple of Hammer films, including as the title character of The Reptile.

We were just talking about Blake's 7 in the office yesterday (well the handful of us old enough to remember it anyway).

I thought she was sooooo cool when I was a kid. Have they ever reshow them on TV?

I loved Blake's 7. Servelan was integral to it.

Blake's 7 seemed brilliant at the time.. at least the first couple series. It seemed to suffer from half the cast leaving.. Avon, of course, was the other essential character.

ah two threads.

at the OP. Yeah, um, yeah, um.

Sad that she is gone. Brings a smile to my face remembering her.

No more Blake and there weren't seven of them. Other than that the title was completely accurate.

The key point was when The Liberator was destroyed. After that it just wasn't the same.
