Dear Charlotte is 'a light hearted review of every episode of Blake's 7' by Ross and Charlotte.

Boucher, Backbone and Blake – the legacy of Blakes 7 is an interesting, in-depth article by Erin Horáková, published by Strange Horizons. Contains strong language.

Down and Safe is a biweekly podcast where an intrepid, intercontinental crew of telly-watching people discuss B7 episode by episode. These are informative and highly entertaining, but may contain strong language and are not safe for work!
