The Straight Outta the Federation Crew talk Roj Blake enchanted by a voice in the past.  Perhaps not enchanted, but definately a pull towards a trick, a trap, or sudden doom?

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 26th 2022 This week we welcome back one of our regular contributors, the encyclopaedic and telly fact-filled mind that belongs to STEVE HATCHER, who has suggested that we might want to talk about the movie spin-offs and adaptations of television series that used to feature prominently in the cinemas in the fifties, sixties, and seventies, several of which proved to be very successful, and some of which were decidedly less so. Some of these films have gone on to become the more familiar versions of series that no longer seem to get much airtime simply through their regular appearances on television over the years and decades since they were made, and for many viewers, they might even have become the definitive versions of a whole host of television favourites. Often these films were adaptations of much-loved sitcoms, but also several drama series were deemed worthy of being transferred to the big screen, in colour, sometimes featuring the original television cast, and sometimes bearing little relationship whatsoever with the source material. STEVE has picked out five dramas (as well as five sitcoms which we're going to talk about some other time), for us to talk about as specifically British examples that demonstrate the various ways in which these adaptations were achieved by the film-makers of those eras, and, whilst our conversation might touch upon a few others that spring to mind, it's those five films that we are going to mostly focus our attention on. So sit back as we mull over the most exciting colourful eccentricities of DR WHO AND THE DALEKS, the colourfully dark and compelling re-imagining of QUATERMASS AND THE PIT in the London Underground Station at Hobb's End, the strangely detached environmental disaster that prompts the DOOMWATCH team to not exactly leap into action themselves but instead nominate a proxy, the government assassin CALLAN somehow managing to revisit his own past, and the bizarre, much-truncated, late 1990s re-invention of John Steed and Mrs Emma Peel in THE AVENGERS. We might not get the time to cover all them in any great depth, so there'll be little in the way of my usual VISION ON SOUND nonsenses of the kind that point out details like the future Roj Blake turning up working at Hobb's End that I might usually start to weave the interconnectedness of all things around to intrigue you with, especially as one of those five films does actually obliquely name-check this very show, but I hope you'll enjoy this quick time-trip through some great TV shows dressed up in their best clothes for their various trips to the ROXY and the REGAL. And once we've got back to base, STEVE will return in a few weeks time for a follow-up in which we chat in much the same way about those sitcoms.

Ian and Dave convene at Ian's swinging bachelor pad to discuss another three episodes of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). In "Paranoia," Jeff and Jeanie are hired by Douglas Milton, a man who has written a book of possibly shocking revelations because he believes someone wants to kill him and he is not wrong. In "A Blast from the Past," Marty graduates as a ghost and gains access to Limbo, but soon finds himself in danger from the ghost of a London gangster who wants revenge on Marty's dad. In "A Man of Substance," what begins as a missing person case in the sleepy village of Haydel Roxstead turns out to have major supernatural implications as everyone can see and hear Marty. They go to war with wasps, examine Marty's kill count, and are reunited with Roj Blake.

Next comic-con I’ll cosplay as Roj Blake, I think. This week we commit sacrilege! I mean, turns out gods are real, we totally just like, ragged all over them, and then they just came on down and struck us down so we regret to inform you that the podcast will no longer be continuing.

You see Roj Blake standing in front of you, what do you do? Chris Boucher is back. Well he never actually left, but he’s back, or something like that. Travis is back too, but he’s gone rogue now, much like Chris when you think about it. First he was doing Terry’s (Servalan’s) bidding, and nowContinue reading →

Rob and Dave occasionally take a look at great TV series and movies they enjoy, broadly from the genres of sci-fi and fantasy. They call these episodes, Alternate Galaxies. In this episode, Rob cedes his seat to Richard, who has a far greater knowledge of today's topic... Blake's 7. Today, January 2, 2018, marks 40 years since the transmission of the first Blake's 7 episode - The Way Back - in the UK. -- Blake's 7 is a British science fiction television series produced by the BBC. Four 13-episode series were broadcast on BBC1 between 1978 and 1981. It was created by Terry Nation, who also created the Daleks for the television series Doctor Who. The script editor was Chris Boucher. The main character, at least initially, was Roj Blake, played by Gareth Thomas. The series was inspired by various fictional media, including Robin Hood, Star Trek, Passage to Marseille, The Dirty Dozen, Brave New World and classic Western stories, as well as real-world political conflicts in South America and Israel. Blake's 7 was popular from its first broadcast, watched by approximately 10 million in the UK and shown in 25 other countries. Although many tropes of space opera are present, such as spaceships, robots, galactic empires and aliens, its budget was inadequate for its interstellar theme. Critical responses have been varied; some reviewers praised the series for its dystopian themes, strong characterisation, ambiguous morality and pessimistic tone, as well as displaying an "enormous sense of fun", but others have criticised its production values, dialogue and perceived lack of originality, with broadcaster and critic Clive James describing it as "classically awful". A limited range of Blake's 7 merchandise was issued, and books, magazines and annuals published. The BBC released music and sound effects from the series, and several companies made Blake's 7 toys and models. Four video compilations were released between 1985 and 1990, and the entire series was released in videocassette format starting 1991 and re-released during 1997, and as four DVD boxed sets between 2003 and 2006. The BBC produced two audio dramas during 1998 and 1999 that feature original cast members and broadcast by Radio 4. Although proposals for live-action and animated remakes have not been realised, Blake's 7 has been revived with two series of audio dramas, a comedic short film, and a series of fan-made audio plays.

Roj Blake. Kerr Avon. Jenna Stannis. Vila Restal. Olag Gan. Cally. Zen. Las seis personas -y una inteligencia artificial- más buscadas del cosmos. Tras capturar una de las naves más poderosas de la galaxia, el Liberator, esta peculiar tripulación inicia un viaje cuyo objetivo es derrocar a la Federación, el siniestro estado fascista que les condenó a cadena perpetua. Casi todos ellos son gente cuanto menos dudosa y no todos se llevan bien; la desconfianza siempre flota en el aire. No todos vivirán para contarlo; algunos se irán y otros tripulantes tomarán su lugar. Bienvenidos a Todo es Rock And Roll, el nuevo podcast mensual que el que esto escribe -Víctor Castillo, o Sr. VCR o como quieran- ha parido de su maltrecha psique. Nueve meses después de cerrar mi anterior proyecto, Ninja Vs Commando, me lanzo de nuevo a las ondas de internet con el objetivo mensual de comentar un tema de cultura pop en general con personas afines a él de manera distendida y con amor por la materia. En el primer episodio me acompañan dos de los habitantes de esta santa casa, Javier J. Valencia y Xavi Torrents. Nos dedicamos a casi reproducir nuestras animadas charlas de bar sobre una serie clásica que en este país sólo se pudo ver de manera muy fugaz hace ya muchos año pero que nosotros descubrimos hace unos años y nos encantó. A Los 7 de Blake -creada por Terry Nation, el "padre" de los Daleks- se la suele llamar el "anti Star Trek", pero creemos que va más allá de todo eso, generando una apasionante mitología y unos personajes memorables que suplían su violenta falta de presupuesto. En los 146 minutos del podcast hablamos de su origen, sus cuatro temporadas y rememoramos los personajes y momentos que más nos han marcado, así como los peores, que también los hubo. Además, al final hacemos unas cuantas recomendaciones de lecturas, televisión y cine para que os vayáis con las manos -y los oídos- llenos. Es genial estar de vuelta hablando de lo que le gusta a uno. Cada mes me tendréis tanto aquí como en el canal de ivoox pertinente, con gente diferente para hablar de, en general, todo. Ya que la música, los libros, el cine, los cómics y la televisión, si tienen actitud para molar, son todo lo mismo; todo es rock and roll.

After two years and 27 episodes, Ian and Dave finally reach the very last episode of Blake's 7. In "Blake," the Scorpio crew have destroyed Xenon base and are on the run. In a last-ditch attempt to try and establish a united resistance against the Federation, Avon takes the Scorpio to the lawless planet Gauda Prime where he believes he will find the only person who can be their figurehead: Roj Blake. They also look back at the highs and lows of series four, discuss why Blake is terrible at explaining himself, and why Slave is the most meta character in the whole show.
