Michael Keating Returns to Blake’s 7

BIG FINISH PRODUCTIONS announces that Michael Keating is to reprise the role in the first volume of the upcoming LIBERATOR CHRONICLES, the series of enhanced audiobooks being released in the licence deal with B7 ENTERPRISES.

LONDON, September 23, 2011: Big Finish Productions is delighted to announce that Michael Keating, who played the loveable thief Vila Restal in Blake’s 7, is to reprise the role in the first volume of the upcoming Liberator Chronicles. The series of enhanced audiobooks is being released in a licence deal with B7 Enterprises.

Michael will be starring in SOLITARY by Nigel Fairs, an unsettling mystery in which Vila wakes up in a cell aboard the Liberator, and tries to piece together his fractured memory.

Why are his friends planning to kill him?

The enigmatic Nyrron holds the answers… but will he tell?

Nigel Fairs is an award-winning playwright who has also written many acclaimed audio scripts for DOCTOR WHO, JAGO AND LITEFOOT, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE and SAPPHIRE AND STEEL.

THE LIBERATOR CHRONICLES are being directed by Lisa Bowerman, script edited by Justin Richards and produced by David Richardson.

Volume 1 of BLAKE’S 7: THE LIBERATOR CHRONICLES will be released as a three-disc CD box set and for download in February 2012. The release also involves two other original series stars, who will be announced soon. Volume 2 follows in August 2012.

A range of new BLAKE’S 7 novels is also in development, launching in May 2012.
