Dear Charlotte

A light hearted review of every Eventually. Give me time, OK? episode of Blake's 7.

What's Blake's 7?

Blake's 7 was a British sci-fi television series which ran from 1978 to 1981. It's like a slightly more adult version of Doctor Who. Just a whisker. Seriously, you'll hardly notice it.

Who's Charlotte?

My friend Charlotte loves Doctor Who. All of it, but especially the Tom Baker years. She's never seen Blake's 7, and feels she ought to.

What's Charlotte like?

Sorry - I was forgetting what the Internet is like. Charlotte's spirit animal would probably be a Puffin. She loves the outdoors, reading, wildlife, sci-fi and proper literature too. She's in her mid thirties, works for a charity as a fund raiser and is extremely cool, just not in a skateboarding-while-wearing-aviator-shades kind of way.

Since I started doing this, Charlotte has not only given her blessing, she'll be adding commentary herself, usually relating to Doctor Who. Say something, Charlotte:

I'm going to shout Doctor Who facts at you until you learn to love Tom Baker.

Sometimes, I'll need to stop the episode description for a digression which isn't strictly speaking on topic. When I do, it looks like this:

Avon may not be the hero you want, but he's the hero you deserve.

Yeah, but why are you doing this?

My friend Vicko is currently introducing Charlotte to the new(ish) Battlestar Galactica in a series of evening events, which I sometimes attend. It's ... a bit rubbish the second time round.

I figured I should jump on the bandwagon, but in blog form. And because one should always imagine an audience when one writes, I've chosen to imagine her for this blog.

There's nothing funny going on here.
