Gauda Prime Day

[altariel]

kalypso_v remembers that it is Gauda Prime Day - the twenty-third anniversary of the screening of the last episode of Blake's 7.

At the time, I was a bright-eyed nine-year-old, with a hope-filled heart and faith in human nature. Fifty minutes of television changed all that. When the credits rolled at the end of the episode, I sat gawping at the screen for a bit, and then ran upstairs and had a big cry. Hurrah for the Christmas spirit!

So that was what turned you in the bitter and twisted soul that we know today? Chris Boucher has a lot to answer for.

I was perhaps already slightly more cynical, because I didn't believe it. I was convinced that they were somehow going to come back. It took a long time for me to believe that no, they really weren't.

It all goes back to that critical fifty minutes. Imagine what the world might have been like if I had never seen 'Blake'.
