Gareth Thomas RIP
Gareth Thomas, best known for playing Roj Blake in the 70s sci-fi Blake's 7, has died of heart failure. He was 71. A sad loss to the TV industry.

That is sad. I count Blake's 7 as one of the most memorable TV series that I watched as a kid. I loved Avon with his massive superiority complex!
Re: Gareth Thomas RIP
He was also in ultra-creepy 70's ITV drama Children Of The Stones.

One of the best kids dramas ever made, in my opinion. Baffling, but wonderful.DJDogfart wrote:He was also in ultra-creepy 70's ITV drama Children Of The Stones.
Re: Gareth Thomas RIP
Agreed Tony. Gareth Thomas was good in that.
Filmed in Avebury, Wiltshire. I stayed there for a weeks holiday a few years back. Very atmospheric on a misty morning.

It should still be possible to obtain Blake's Seven on DVD. I have all four series in box sets, but I have had them for a few years.

I am sorry that I missed this thread.
Gareth also did a few Big Finish Blake's 7 audios. Really good.
