Great sequence from 'Blake's 7', featuring some nice model-work (despite the piss-poor budget) and a John Barry-esque score from Dudley Simpson.

First shown on BBC 1 in September 1981.

  • People can say what they will about the special effects budget of this show, but the modelwork was fantastic when they got it right. I always thought Scorpio and the underground base was one of those times.

  • @Coillscath It annoyed me that they redid this in CGI for the DVD menu. It was the one effect that didn't need redone. But it is only for the DVD menu though, so oh well.

    No.

    I think the mixture of brass, percussion and radiophonic instruments was a classic sound. The "Blakes 7" sound. It was right that it should go on as long as the series went on for.

    It's a unique sound. You could be blind, but you would know that a piece of classic BBC sci-fi was on TV just by the music.

    To want to replace that with generic pap is just wrong.

  • One of the all time great Sci-Fi shows. Just one thing though, the music for BBC Sci-Fi programmes by their radiophonic workshop had become too generic.

  • the problem with scorpio was the interior just looked soo dull following on from the liberator

  • @SciFiAssasin model and miniature work will win everytime over CGI in my book. With the exception of Jurassic Park. In the case of this scene, you KNOW its real, because you KNOW its something tangible, its not a load of pixels created by the guy that works down the hall in cubicle with Computer Shopper mags on his desk.

  • @SciFiAssasin I dunno, I liked the new CG stuff. It was only for the menu though. We still got to see all the delightfully old special effects in the show itself.

  • very nice modelling!

  • It would be great to have a underground base of my own, with a Wanderer Class starship to match!
