About this listen

 Avon and the crew of Scorpio again face the ruthless machinations of Servalan in two thrilling full-cast BBC Radio 4 adventures. Together on audio for the first time, these two radio adventures reunite many of the cast of the classic BBC TV space adventure series. The Sevenfold Crown: Raiding Servalan’s HQ, the crew discover that she possesses a jewel that belongs to an ancient, long-lost crown - a mystical artefact of indescribable power. Suddenly the Scorpio crew are as determined as Servalan to acquire the circlet; but if they do, will absolute power corrupt Avon absolutely? The Syndeton Experiment: Tired of running, Avon and company plan to settle down on the planet Syndexia. But Servalan is ahead of them, on the trail of the man who invented the nanochip, a device which offers total control over human beings. If Servalan reaches Dr Rossum first, she stands a chance of enslaving a whole population...© and (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks Entertainment & Performing Arts Film & TV Science Fiction

I really enjoyed this as a Blakes 7 fan. The original cast are just delightful. The Sevenfold crown is the best of the 2 stories but a bit too much technobabble. I liked the short cast interviews between the two stories.

Very well put together, sounds just like a soundtrack from an TV episode. Some radio shows can be a bit like they were recorded in a cardboard box. Some of the running time is a documentary. Everyone is great a few substitutes for the original cast but as someone who remembers the series well but not a total fan I didn’t notice. Avon and Villa a great combo. Ruthless and loveable coward.

Just like the TV Show

What did you like about this audiobook?

I bought this on a bit of a whim and genuinely wasn't sure it would be any good without the screen shots accompanying the dialogue.

I was so wrong,

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

I'm now looking for more to purchase as I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the full cast perform = those certain nuances& inflections that formed part of the great play between these characters, that only they could achieve has certainly stood the test of time.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

Little bits have been added t explain what would be visible on tv to fill in gaps that would otherwise exist , they do not stick out and are totally in context,

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

Cast performance - spectacular in my humble opinion

Do you have any additional comments?

yes, Paul Darrow's voice is still utterly wonderful- total "ear candy" as my young niece tells me such yummy voices are now called!

Oh the memories!

It was just like the good old days of watching the tv series. If you loved Blake’s 7 you’ll love this.

Loved it

These were a great listen, having the feel of the series with some of the original cast members. If you like these then try Big Finish range of stories again bringing back the original crew and more besides!
