It might be the fact that I'm hard of hearing, but I really have no idea what's going on because I can't hear the dialogue. It might be just me. From what I did hear, Avon sounds exactly like Paul Darrow.
Hey ! I don't know about the acting BUT (sometimes) the voices and dialog are spot on. Nice one lads. I have always wanted to go to a Treky convention with a T-shirt with the B7 logo on it and the words " F*@K the Federation"
considering that Liberator was destroyed at the end of series 3....This looks like a Rammstein convention...Btw, my friend has been approached by auntie with a view to a Blake's 7 relaunch in 2010...Can't say much more, but he's motoring through the original show which I loved from 1978-81.
The actors playing Avon and Orac have their voices and mannerisms so spot-on its spooky! And the special effects are as equally rubbish as those in the original show. Quite brilliant.
Ha! The shaky hand-held space shots are worthy of BSG. :-) Orac's voice is superb, Avon and Tarrant catch their originals' intonations and mannerisms well, but Vila doesn't quite get the voice. And a beard and pony tail? Pity abut the lack of lighting, but I suppose it was deliberate so they wouldn't have to mock up a Liberator flight deck.
A B7 fan who enjoyed our B7 Fenidom eppy has very kindly offered to digitally remaster the whole thing using pro-tools. His main aim is to brighten up the flight deck scenes and improve the sound quality on the location footage which has audio drop-outs.
Once done, the new version will be re-edited and uploaded on here as well as Google.
£10 for lights wouldn't have gone amiss.

Makes you appreciate how good the real thing was.............apparently its not as easy as it looks.
Its a slap in the face to all those amateurs who say "I could do it if only I was given the chance."

There seems to be a cardboard egg tray on the wall and Orac looks like a fish tank full of Christmas lights.
Is the one with the ponytail meant to be Vila?

Is it just me or is "femidon" just a bit too close to "femidom" for comfort.

Abysmal acting.
Orac gave the best effort - which makes this simply atrocious.
I mean - Avon - there's a character you surely can't go wrong impersonating.
But this proves that wrong. Awful.

Yes, mimicry is the lowest form of acting, just as sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
This makes Stardrive look like a BAFTA winner.
