Just saw the Blake’s 7 spoof Blake’s Junction 7 on YouTube in two parts starting here:

There is also a look behind the scenes:

Quite a fun spoof of Blake’s 7 which takes place in an unusual environment for the established characters.
Being a spoof the established characters is played by new actors but Peter Tuddenham does reprise his voice role as Orac. Sadly this was released shortly after Tuddenham’s death in 2007 and the film is dedicated to his memory.
Among the new actors playing the established characters was Raquel Cassidy as Jenna. Like Peter Tuddenham, Ms Cassidy has had roles in Doctor Who including quite recently with Matt Smith in Rebel Flesh/The Almost People. In fact there is a Doctor Who reference in the behind the scenes for Blake’s Junction 7.
Bizarre seeing Jenna and Dayna together since Dayna was brought in to replace Jenna and the two characters were never seen together in the TV series.
Despite the fact that Servalan was a woman she is played here by a man Mackenzie Crook. Perhaps an in-joke to the fact that Terry Nation had originally written Servalan as a man.
Quite an unexpected meeting that Avon had and what a way to end this film.
