Blake's 7: Fenidom Part One

1993 spoof of the BBC's much loved sci-fi series 'Blake's 7' that originally ran in the UK during 1978 - 1981.
By January 1993, the BBC had released the final episode on grainy old VHS and a group of fans decided to fill the gap with their very own 24-minute episode that featured dialogue from the original series.
'Fenidom' was filmed in Caesar's Camp - a location that was just 20 minutes away from where the BBC filmed the final episode in October 1981.
With a budget of over 70 pounds, new futuristic sets and models were built for this state-of-the-art production.
The budget was even stretched to include a terrifying monster that Avon. Villa and Tarrant encounter on the tree-laden terrain of Kerillian 4 - an outpost planet that has now fallen under the influence of the Federation.

'Blake's 7: Fenidom' written by Bobby Nation is making it's worldwide premier after being hidden away on VHS for over 13 years and is here to celebrate BBC-4's forthcoming 'The Cult Of Blake's 7' - a new making of documentary that will be screened in December.

We all hope that you enjoy our tribute to this unique series which is now available in five parts.

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

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"

@hostroute u mean 'fenidom?

[M1ggins]

£10 for lights wouldn't have gone amiss.

@hostroute I know exactly what you mean!

[coyran]

The model shot are spot on!

[AlbinoCaterpillar]

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.

[YoodellyHoo]

Tarrant sounds more like Sylvester McCoy than Tarrant.

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?

[mthurlby]

I was thinking just the same thing! ;-) Great minds think alike and all that!

[Yakerina]

Can't be sure. But it's not ME.
