#gaudaprimeday +1
Well that's Christmas over for another year 🤷♂️
And now, with the time coming up to a quarter past eleven, a reminder that @cultedge.bsky.social’s titles - including the #Blakes7 Production Diaries for Series A & B - are still available online.
Happy #GaudaPrimeDay, one and all. And please, don’t have nightmares.

I'm glad you made it.

Part of a 32-year-old artificial green Christmas tree, decorated with red baubles and other small ornaments including the Liberator (bottom right) and the TARDIS (top left).
Happy Gauda Prime Day!
Blake has fallen, but fear not, for the Liberator will rescue us from the miserable tree sanctuary, or failing that the TARDIS is approaching.

A happy Gauda Prime Day to all who celebrate. :-) Let us raise a glass to toast Chris Boucher, the man who made this day in 1981 one that many of us will never forget.
#Blakes7 #GaudaPrimeDay
Blake looking confused .. as usual
Avon looking crazy … as usual (for series D, anyway)
Happy Gauda Prime Day to Servalan and anyone else who celebrates. #Blakes7 #GaudaPrimeDay
Vila Restal the man the legend. The glue that kept he team together, a true inspiration and hero.
While we're all celebrating #GaudaPrimeDay let's spare a thought for the real hero of #Blakes7
Avon (Paul Darrow), staring psychopathically
Blake (Gareth Thomas), staring down with scarred eye
OTD 1981: Blake’s 7 B—
Avon’s plan to find a figurehead ends in his most terminal catastrof—k since, well, Terminal*.
The one thing left is Plan B…
The Big B.
Has the Big B finally flipped?
#GaudaPrimeDay
I would say more, but BBC1’s already tempting fate by ending #TheWarBetween on this day…
Where were you 44 years ago tonight? #GaudaPrimeDay #Blakes7

#GaudaPrimeDay recommendation:
This superb in-depth read on George Spenton-Foster
I’ve always though his direction on his two Doctor Who stories was excellent, but that he messed up all four of his Blake’s 7 (all four of which I otherwise love. Yes, even that one)…
Ah. I see it's #Blakes7 #GaudaPrimeDay Happy Day to all who celebrate.
The 21st of December 1981.
44 years ago today.
The day *HE* happened.
Today is #GaudaPrimeDay.
Those who know, know.

A gift shop sign hanging from an awning. It reads “GAUDY & PRIM. Restore. Enrich. Adorn.”
VILA: Sooner or later we're going to drop into one of these gift shops and never come out.
AVON: Sooner or later, everyone does that, Vila.

Doctor Who: The Daleks – The Dead Planet: Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) up against the wall. Point of view of the *something* (spoiler: it’s a Dalek) in the foreground, from behind, pointing its sucker at her
Blake’s 7: B—: Avon (Paul Darrow) stands alone. Point of view of the Federation soldiers in the foreground, from behind, aiming their guns at him
OTD 1963 / 1981: The biggest TV day for Terry Nation’s two biggest TV creations
One starts—the other very much ends.
In Doctor Who, the planet of The Daleks was dead, to begin with
Whereas Blake, in Blake’s 7…

Avon stands over the body of Blake, who he has just shot dead in a tragic misunderstanding born of paranoia and trauma. He is surrounded by Federation troopers, who have just shot the rest of his crew. Got to be honest, it's not looking good.
With the Winter Solstice upon us, it is time to take a step back from the frantic business of daily life and quietly reflect on the true meaning of Gauda Prime #GaudaPrimeDay
🎶 Didn't we have
🎶 A loverly time
🎶 The day we went to Gauda?

One week to #GaudaPrimeDay warning ⚠️
Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.
Our (first) #GaudaPrimeDay has arrived! I feel like Mary Ridge is directing specifically for the creation of natty GIFs by this point
Thank you Colin. I guess quite a few people may also have had to google #GaudaPrimeDay (earlier post) 😅 Now I’ve learnt there is Wiccapedia.
Hoped to do something new with this for today, but a few weeks back I lost my Dad, and... well, priorities. Then it hit me that 43 years ago, watching B7 together, he'd only just said goodbye to his own father. For all the sadness, I felt a little nearer to him.

‘Tis the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the anniversary of when Blake’s 7’s shocking series finale ruined Christmas! Almost. #Blakes7 #GaudaPrimeDay #Christmas
Kerr Avon stands over the body of Roj Blake, who he has just shot dead in a bounty hunter base on Gauda Prime. He is surrounded by Federation troopers. I've got to be honest, it's not looking good for him.
And incidentally, a happy #GaudaPrimeDay to all of you at home.
Happy #GaudaPrimeDay to you!
Come celebrate #GaudaPrimeDay with some @bigfinish.bsky.social #Blakes7 audio adventures. Sadly most of Series D not included.
You know, I think would be a fun idea for the Series D #Blakes7 Blu-ray if they had an alternate version of the last episode’s end credits where Steven Pacey sings Vere Lorrimer’s lyric over the jaunty theme. #GaudaPrimeDay
Happy #GaudaPrimeDay to all who celebrate! The most wonderful time of the year!
As it’s #GaudaPrimeDay ( the anniversary of the final #Blakes7 episode) , why not grab yourself a copy of Scorpio Tales , a collection of short stories based upon the last series (including my contribution: ‘Slave Unbound’ ) .
