Bummer, I loved Blake's 7

RIP Jacqueline Pearce - News - Big Finish

The striking actress will be best remembered for playing Supreme Commander Servalan, the glamorous but ruthless villain in the popular BBC science fiction series Blake’s 7, which retains a keen cult following to this day. Initially appearing in a supporting role for a single episode, the character proved to be so popular that she was invited back for more. Servalan became a recurring villain, appearing regularly throughout the series’ four seasons, from 1978 to 1981 (with Pearce ultimately billed as second lead after Paul Darrow's anti-hero Avon). She would later recall, with delight, how she received numerous fan letters from young men whose passions had been awakened by her sexually charged performance as Servalan.
 
Unfortunately I wasn't one of the kids who had awakenings watching her on Blake's 7 but I did think she was a great villan.

Lung cancer.
 
I had many a restless night after watching her as Servalan, I never equaled Blakes 7 but tried hard as a young teenager!

RIP
