Gareth Thomas who played Blake, died 13th April 2016 aged 71.
First, I have to say that we are tired of the way people attack people, without knowledge of the people they are talking at, and when in all likelihood, they are doing the exact same thing that they are accusing you of, that you aren't in fact doing.
#Hypocrites much?
That you are trying to spread #truth and #Science doesn't matter, because you've done something wrong.
These people need to grow up. Fast!

Blakes 7 is a science fiction television series made by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation, which means they can't use police at your door as regards your license, since it's a civil matter, not a criminal one!), that first aired on January the 2nd 1978, and is set in the Third Century of the Second Calendar, at least 700 years in the future.
The series follows the exploits of political dissident Roj Blake, who leads a small group of rebels against the forces of the totalitarian Terran Federation, which rules the Earth and many colonised planets.
The Federation uses mass surveillance (twitter @safety bot), brainwashing and drug pacification to control its citizens. Blake discovers he was once the leader of a revolutionary group and is arrested, tried on false charges, and deported to a remote penal colony.
En route he and fellow prisoners Jenna Stannis and Kerr Avon gain control of a technologically advanced alien spacecraft they call The Liberator.
Her speed and weaponry are superior to Federation craft, and it also has a teleportation system that enables transport to the surface of planets.
It's on board main computer Zen was artificially intelligent and answered to voice commands.
The Liberator also had battle computers, and repair systems that could fix the ship up to a point.
Orac (the transparent box) was discovered later in the series, as was Slave in another ship the crew found.
Zen was capable of protecting "his" ship, and also knew when to keep quiet, for the sake of the ship.
Zen, Orac & Slave
The voice of Zen was provided by Peter Tuddenham.
In the new B7 audio series, the voice is that of Alistair Lock.
Blake and his crew begin a campaign to damage the Federation (Twitter #ShadowBanning #ShadowBlocking), but are pursued by Space Commander Travis (@Jack) – a Federation soldier – and Servalan (Sarkeesian), the Supreme Commander and later Federation President.
It was created by Terry Nation who also created The Daleks of Dr Who fame (you may have heard of it?)
It was watched by approximately 10 million people in the UK and was broadcast in 25 countries.
It's a fantastic series, and we don't want it to be forgotten!

The composition of the titular "seven" changes throughout the series. The initial group of six characters – Blake, Vila, Gan, Jenna, Avon and Cally – included Zen as the seventh member. At the end of the first series, they capture a supercomputer called Orac. Gan is killed during the second series, after which Blake and Jenna disappear and are replaced by new characters Dayna and Tarrant. In the fourth series, Cally dies and is replaced by Soolin. Following the destruction of Liberator a new computer character, Slave is introduced.
While Blake is an idealistic freedom (of speech & thought) fighter, his associates are petty crooks, smugglers and killers.
Avon is a technical genius who, while outwardly exhibiting most interest in self-preservation and personal wealth, consistently acts to help others. When Blake is separated from his crew, Avon takes over as leader. At first Avon believes the Federation has been destroyed, becomes tired of killing and seeks rest. But by the middle of the third series, Avon realises that the Federation is expanding again, faster than he had originally realised, and he resumes the fight. The BBC had planned to conclude Blake's 7 at the end of its third series, but a further series was unexpectedly commissioned. Some changes to the programme's format were necessary, such as the introduction of a new spacecraft, Scorpio, and new characters, Soolin and Slave.

Liberator MMXVI
So as you might have guessed, the inspiration behind The Liberator MMXVI program we are coding (which will be free to all on request. Just ask and I'll email you a copy when done, for #FREE, no adverts, no obligation) is Blakes 7 :)
With all the online bullshit and misinformation flying around, we have researched and put our findings in a database, and put a GUI (graphical user interface) on top of it, and are coding it to make it as easy to use as possible.
We research well, and want people to spread truth and science so we can help everyone to help themselves and each other. We are passionate about our work. We care and we know you do. This isn't a religion, this is freedom of thought. Use that super computer you have in your head, and learn and teach. It's fun and will make you smile, I guarantee it!
