Big Finish celebrated the 40th anniversary of Blake’s 7 in January 2018 with the release of The Way Ahead. The Way Ahead is an inverse in name to The Way Back which is the name of the first episode back in 1978. The Way Ahead is made of two episodes the first being Project Aquitar. Project Aquitar is the sequel to the TV episode Project Avalon. In Project Avalon, Avalon was played by Julia Vidler but in Project Aquitar she is now played by Olivia Poulet. Project Aquitar has a framing device in which Avon in the future recounts what happened in the narrative concerned. The main narrative of Project Aquitar takes place during the first season and Blake and Gan are conspicuously absent from proceedings due to the fact that Gareth Thomas (Blake) and David Jackson (Gan) are now deceased. A very enjoyable episode seeing the return of Avalon and especially the intense encounter between Jenna and Travis. This is an episode in which Jacqueline Pearce reprised Servalan and sadly just seven months after the release of The Way Ahead she passed away on September 3 2018.
In Memory of Jacqueline Pearce (1943-2018)
