Terra Firma is the first episode of Avalon from Big Finish. Avalon is a spin-off of Blake's 7 from Big Finish. Coming under the banner of The Worlds of Blake's 7 which came about when Big Finish made an assessment about the future of them making Blake's 7 after the death of Paul Darrow (Avon) in 2019. The character of Avalon was a one-off character in the Blake's 7 TV series where she was played by Julia Vidler in Project Avalon. When Big Finish came to use the character for the 40th anniversary special The Way Ahead they cast Olivia Poulet to play her. Poulet reprises Avalon for this spin-off. Terra Firma also features Sally Knyvette as Jenna. It was established in Project Avalon that Jenna was an associate of Avalon in a time before Jenna met Blake. Terra Firma takes place at that time as it is set at the same time that Blake was on trial as seen in the Blake's 7 episode The Way Back. Terra Firma is written by Steve Lyons. Fascinating look into Avalon with Poulet being able to expand on the character that she first played in The Way Ahead. Definitely a well presented narrative as Avalon makes her attack on the Federation with Jenna also being present in this in Avalon's spin-off debut. Quite neat that in the midst of all this how this set up Jenna's eventual meeting with Blake.
