Blake's 7: Gambit (Sylvia Coleridge Season)

Blake's 7 isn't a series you will have read about on my blog before, and I've got a terrible confession to make: I just don't get on with it. I wouldn't even criticise it, and watching this episode for this post I can see the reasons for its huge popularity, and how it deals well and subtly with so many human emotions and events.

Unfortunately I just don't understand it, don't get the background and really have no business blogging about it, but can still appreciate the magnificent sight of Sylvia Coleridge (at around the age of 70) playing a croupier in a casino in the picture which illustrates this post!
