"Blake's 7" Space Fall (TV Episode 1978) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
SPACE FALL. (Terry Nation) reviewed by Marian de Haan. Story: One of the best. Strong in characterisation of the regulars as well as London's command trio. [Granted, the guards are a bit incompetent, but elite troops are never wasted on guarding prisoners.]
Directed by Pennant Roberts. Airdate: 9 January 1978. Blake, Jenna, and Vila are still prisoners on The London, a prison transport ship taking them to the penal colony on Cygnus Alpha. Some focus is given to the crew, who talk to each other about the prisoners and flying conditions.
