Id love Scorpio Chronicles. That last season has a desprat edge. Theres a real sense of doom, not least from Avon going slowly mad over Blake. I know Josette has declined B7 in the past but she's working with BF now so who's to say she won't do a Waterhouse? As I understand it, there are contractual reasons it might be a no-no but to me it's a shame not to be able to use a quarter of the show's history.

I'm in the middle of re-watching series D. In my opinion, Avon started going mad over Blake in Terminal. He excluded the rest of the crew and made poor decisions that ended up directly leading to the destruction of the Liberator. Really not his previous logical self, in my opinion.

I'd like to listen to some Series D adventures – but I'd like some Series A and B even more – and Series C too. I'd also like some post Series D adventures too - with most of the cast surviving!
I'm also very much looking forward to the next Big Finish announcements about Blakes 7 – they can't come soon enough.

I'd love Series D ones too. As I've said before, the fact it has two main regular locations and works differently from A-C means that if Josette still doesn't want to do them then it's very easy to not feature Dayna from story to story, it's easy to just keep her off-'screen'.
No Post-Series D stories for me though.

And speaking of 'doing a Waterhouse', I know Matthew would love to pop up in a Blakes 7 sometime.

I wouldn't mind post-D stories not written by Paul Darrow. He seems to have cornered the market on "what happened next" having not one but two chances to take the reigns.
Poor Tony Atwood's book - Afterlife - doesn't get a look in. While no masterpiece it's better than Avon: A Terrible Aspect or the Lucifer series.

Everyone's made such a mess of the post D world haven't they. BF should do series 5.

Anything good about the last episode's epic finale s completely undone by extending the story beyond that point. The nihilism and the fatalism were perfect. Finding out "Oh, Villa was faking it" undermimes that completely.

Well Chris Boucher did say it was never his intention that all the characters were dead - it was a cliff hanger. Those who signed new contracts wouldn't die and those who didn't would.
As he was the writer, that's my understanding of the finale and I would love to see BF do a continuing series 5 with old and new characters - just like Blake's 7 always did.

I would love some series 4 stuff but I think it should be set before the last episode. That said.........if Darrow and Keating were onboard for a S5 I'd be interested. I'd quite like to have Jenna back somehow. We never actually saw her death.....

Simply assume that she was wearing her old Liberator teleport bracelet and another system ship a la Libertine rescued her.

That's true and I suppose if the show came back the next year I'd have been fine with that. Though I think it's hard to describe it as a cliffhanger, it feels like a ending. In and of itself. Not just cos that's how it ended. And especially after all this time, it's a full stop to me. Though I'm happy to hear more about before then.

So all the boys survive by Soolin and Dayna died?

So all the boys survive by Soolin and Dayna died? There's no way Tarrant could have survived. He was on the brink of collapse anyway after the crash . I'm thinking Villa on the other hand wasn't even shot. He's just lying doggo.

I'd love to see a series where Vila is the sole survivor, and ends up an unwilling figurehead of a new resistance.
