Description

Teleporting in—welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7!

We had a fantastic chat with Paul Vanezis, the genius behind the visual cleanup of the Blake's 7 Blu-ray box set. Right off the bat, we dive into his experiences restoring this classic series, which has been a labour of love with some hefty challenges. Paul shares some behind-the-scenes stories about the challenges he faced, from dealing with old tape glitches to ensuring the episodes look as good as they did back in 1978.

It’s a fascinating chat that goes into the ins and outs of restoration, and we even get a peek at some of the tech wizardry that goes into making the show shine in modern HD. If you love this subject and also need some behind-the-scenes banter, this episode is a must-listen.

We're teleporting out for now! Thanks for listening and don't forget to follow and subscribe on your preferred podcast app so you never miss an episode.

You can also join the conversation and stay updated by following us on Twitter/X and Bluesky, we'd love to hear your thoughts and theories!
