Cally Joins Avon

BIG FINISH PRODUCTIONS announce that Jan Chappell and Paul Darrow have been reunited to record an episode of BLAKE’S 7: THE LIBERATOR CHRONICLES. The series of enhanced audiobooks is being released in a licence deal with B7 ENTERPRISES.

LONDON, November 25, 2011 – Big Finish Productions is delighted to announce that Jan Chappell and Paul Darrow have been reunited to record an episode of BLAKE’S 7: THE LIBERATOR CHRONICLES. The series of enhanced audiobooks is being released in a licence deal with B7 ENTERPRISES.

The characters of Cally and Avon appear together in THE MAGNIFICENT FOUR, an episode from Volume 2 of THE LIBERATOR CHRONICLES which will be released in August 2012. The script, by Simon Guerrier, finds the pair abducted by a rival team of freedom fighters… who also own an advanced spaceship from the same race that built the Liberator.

“This second set of stories plunges us right into the universe of the show’s second season,” says producer David Richardson. “As we continue with more recordings, and as edits continue to come in, I’m thrilled with how The Liberator Chronicles captures the tone of those early days of the show. This is BLAKE’S 7 how you remember it from the late ‘70s – but with brand new stories!”

Volume 2 also features the story FALSE POSITIVE, which stars Gareth Thomas as Blake alongside Beth Chalmers as Lian. The script is by Eddie Robson, a veteran of the Doctor Who and Bernice Summerfield audio ranges, and finds Blake on an undercover mission to alert the puppet leader of an alien planet of the malign influence of the Federation.

The third story will be announced in early 2012.

Volume 1 of THE LIBERATOR CHRONICLES, which stars Paul Darrow, Michael Keating and Gareth Thomas, is released on CD and download in February 2012. It features the stories THE TURING TEST by Simon Guerrier, SOLITARY by Nigel Fairs and COUNTERFEIT by Peter Anghelides.

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