Summary

 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

This is first rate radio sci fi with an excellent cast and two well paced adventures. It's just a shame there isn't more of it! You don't have to be a fan of the series to understand or enjoy these stories, although obviously that adds to the whole expirience.

Better then the TV series?

Written by my uncle, I cannot be more proud of these. I think they are the most authentic radio series recordings. I love the big finish stuff, but somehow this is just soooo BBC.
Good stories, actors obviously having a whale of a time and the interlude between episodes is great; isn't included on the CD versions I note. I love the little winks at the audience re "old quarries", the digs at Beeb props, and Peter Tuffenham... "Let's do some more" that makes me sad because Big Finish took too long for him to do that.

Just a warning, the interlude between the stories has MAJOR SPOILERS if you are coming to Blakes 7 new. Listen to this after the final episode.

But I will just say that rumours of a certain persons death ARE greatly exaggerated. Thanks for clearing that up Paul. ;)

The magnificent seven!
