Merging Blake's 7 and Doctor who has been mooted so many times over the past 40 years but would you like to see BF do it?
Have an adventure with the Doctor and the rebels?
Even just use the Daleks as nearly happened back in the 70s?

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I know that Gareth Thomas and Tom Baker wanted to film a scene for one of their shows where they were walking down a corridor and nodded a friendly greeting to each other, and the Kaldor City audios pretty much outright state a link between the universes, but I don't like it when series spanning all of space (and time) rally only come down to being the stories of a small, ridiculously influential group of people (Star Wars, I'm looking at you) rather than a realistic, immense cast of characters who rely on each other or who work at cross-purposes to one another, or don't come into contact with one another very often.
That said, I would love an adventure with the Series C/ D crew keep thinking he's Bayban and are working to prevent him from foiling some sort of plot. Or a story where the Doctor recognises the Liberator tech and wonders why a group of escapees have it. Or where the Doctor helps out the Series A/B crew due to common aims and returns later and finds himself at odds with the heist/ piracy antics of the Series C/ bits-of-D crew.

Carnell, the psychostrategist from Blake's 7's "Weapon", also turns up in Corpse Marker and has a short little discussion with the Doctor at the end of the story about what transpired in Kaldor City. A short story by Simon Bucher-Jones for a charity anthology somewhere called At the Beach also had the Second and Third Doctors encounter the members of a "failed rebellion" that held a remarkable resemblance to the crew who would eventually seize control of the Liberator. A computer programmer called Kerr helps reconfigure the TARDIS computers, so that the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe can travel free of the Time Lords' influence. I'm rather interested by the implied history of the merging because it means that sometime after the Federation of the twenty-sixth century, it will have transformed into a totalitarian regime that is focused upon the complete and absolute obedience of its human populations and the extermination of any alien lifeform that does not conform to their ideological standards. I always got the strong impression that the later Federation we got peeks at in the VNAs were heading towards that Blake's 7 future. If they keep to the style of both series, I think a straightforward crossover would be rather fun. A Six/Peri story would be ideal.  |

The Doctor helps defend a Federation base under siege from the notorious terrorists of the Liberator, who have been armed by the Master...

I'd set it in the Dying Unbound universe, the war that happened 300 years before Blake's rebellion being The War etc.
