Apologies for having re-posted John Bensalhia's earlier (transmission-time) review today. Here's the real 'look back'... (Ed.)
Blake's 7. Doctor Who. Having written 50 out of 52 reviews for the classic space opera (which I guess makes me the Peter Tuddenham of Blake's 7 reviewers), coming to the task of reviewing Doctor Who in its TV entirety makes me wise to how similar the two programmes can be at times. Many of the Blake's 7 production team had already cut their teeth on Who whether it was writer Chris Boucher, producer David Maloney or a list of directors too long to mention. Most of the actors, regulars or guests, had turned up in Who at some point. And even some of the stories bear comparison with its grand older brother.
I only mention this because I'm plonked in front of the latest wacky Who adventure called The Lodger. On the surface this doesn't really have anything...
