The crew of the Liberator battle against the despotic Federation in these thrilling stories and features from the Blake’s 7 Annuals. “Blake’s 7 are all fugitives in space, their frail alliance fortified by the knowledge that each of them has been marked for extermination by the Federation. But who are these men and women who are prepared to fight to the death for their freedom?” When a Federation planet comes under attack in Revenge of the Mutoes, Blake and his friends form an uneasy alliance with the alien Mutoes. In Crystal Gazing, a vital element required for the Liberator can only be found on one hostile planet. An incident during teleport leads Blake to switch forms with another in The Body Stealers, and in The Box the crew members set out to rescue a renegade scientist. The Sima Experiment brings them up against the terrifying products of an Aquatic Research Station, and in Mother Ship an alien hatchling causes havoc on the Liberator just as it comes within range of Space Commander Travis. Jan Chappell (Cally), Sally Knyvette (Jenna) and Alistair Lock read this collection of stories from the original Blake’s 7 Annual, featuring original sound design and Dudley Simpson’s stirring theme music. Readings produced by John Ainsworth Sound design by Alistair Lock Executive Producer: Michael Stevens © 2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd. (P) 2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd. Link: Penguin UK

Obviously it reflects the source material so don't expect anything groundbreaking but it's nicely read by the cast with added music and sound effects. I should caveat this by saying take my comment with a pinch of salt. I would buy cauliflower if it had a Blake's 7 logo printed on it and I hate cauliflower.
