It's a full life, if a trifle banal

Cripes, lawks, and lumme, it's thirty - count 'em - THIRTY years since things turned out so terribly well for Our Heroes on Gauda Prime!

Happy Gauda Prime Day, folks! May your rebellions make it to the New Year!

PS If my day turns out as planned, I'll be watching "Blake" tonight, starting at 8.10pm, and tweeting as I watch: #GaudaPrimeDay

A very happy Gauda Prime Day to you all! Twenty-eight years since my girlish dreams were blasted to smithereens, and yet the moment is still so fresh. Happy days!

It is twenty-five years since my bright-eyed and trusting childhood innocence was slaughtered on the dark altar of cynical telly.

Yes, as kalypso_v reminds us, it's Gauda Prime Day! The most important day in the calendar for all good Blake's 7 folk. Gunpowder, treason, plot, and so on. Long may Chris Boucher continue to enjoy being the man who killed Christmas.

Can you believe it's a quarter of a century since 'Blake' was first transmitted? One day I'll come to terms with it.

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!
