I didn't see "Blake" until my teens, when the oh-so-appreciated UK-US fandom connections made mutual exchanges of blurry, fourth-generation tapes commonplace. That's when I fell for Blake's 7 and The Professionals. I'd been warned incessantly about the final episode pf B7, but still I wasn't prepared for the emotional impact. I'm still impressed that TPTB had the courage to pull it off so unflinchingly. And yes, I still haven't recovered.
