Here in the States back in the early- mid 80s,, PB's showed it late at night. Blake's 7 and Doctor Who were the two shows that my mom would let me stay up late to watch.
I absolutely love Blake's Seven. I remember watching the first episode on BBC One, age seven and three quarters! Once episode two introduced the Liberator, Zen and the teleport system (and bracelets!) I was completely sold. Loved hearing Dwayne here reminiscing about the compilation videos The Beginning, Duel, Orac and Aftermath. For me, discovering The Beginning on sale at WH Smith (a UK newsagents that also served as a books, records and videos store) is a treasured memory because I was desperate to see the series again. Then when Big Finish released the full cast audio War Ship -- oh my ...
In the UK it was featured in the Radio Times for its first episode, so watched it from the off.
Lol - was about to say, "turned on the telly in 1978 and started watching", but you effectively beat me to it :)
I think it was when the VHS box came out in The Netherlands, although it is possible that I’ve seen episodes as a kid when they actually aired here. I recently read the novelizations of season one, by Big Finish and those were awesome. Never seen the other seasons, though.
BBC original broadcast in Ireland and I think it may even have been on RTE too separately which Who never has been.
Years later in 1987-1990 on new cable TV we got Super Channel which allowed us to see the first 3 seasons again. This was great.
Then on VHS in the early to mid 1990s to collect.
Then finally upgrades on DVD in the early 2000s.
I remember awaiting an entire 12 months at the cliff-hanger end of each season as shown on the beeb
I loved the show so much from seeing it on the ABC here in Australia that I and my sister typed up several of the scripts so we could read them whenever we wanted.
Wow. That's dedication!
It got shown at my university by a lecturer.then I managed to watch it on britbox.
The final series was such a glossy overhaul, I'm surprised they didn't go with the Radiophonic Workshop for the incidental music as they did with Dr Who. Might've been a bit of a kick in the teeth for Dudley Simpson, though. Would've meant another BBC lunch to break the news and completely blown the budget of £24.50 an episode.
