Proposed Blake's 7 Revival hits the news as SKY commissions scripts...
News hit the UK National Press on 24th April 2008 that SKY has commissioned
scripts for two x 60-minute pilot episodes which, if successful, will be
expanded into a series. Sky has suggested a 6-part series, though other sources
suggest that an American backer of the project would prefer this to be longer
(13 or more episodes.)

This proposed TV series would be a re-imagining of the original series, as were
the new audio adventures produced in 2007 by B7 Productions. Andrew Mark Sewell,
co-founder/producer of Blake's 7 Media, told Horizon (during a conversation at
the October 2007 Cult TV Festival) that each production would have its own
distinct identity, with the proposed new TV series being different from the
audio adventures, which were themselves a re-imagining of the original TV
series. However, he did say it was possible that some of the new audio series
cast might reprise their roles for the TV re-imagining.

The news has sparked much debate in the Horizon website forums, see/join in the
discussion
