Also, Blake's 7 is one big lost Shakespeare play anyway. In space. And Blake and Avon are Brutus and Cassius, except not. ;-p There's a lot of Henry V stuff going on sometimes with Blake (leadership and responsibility and who's to blame for the fighting and death and so on.)

(You know the BBC Shakespeare also has Servalan as Mariana in Measure for Measure... so when I watched it I spent a lot of time considering how she was most likely to murder Angelo once she got him home, because obviously she's not going to put up with that kind of crap.)
