B02: Shadow: Blake's 7 Goes Dark in First Non-Terry Nation Script

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

The Terra Nostra await Blake and the crew on Space City, but dark times are afoot.

This is the first "proper" non-Terry Nation script, written by Chris Boucher, script editor at the time. As a result, we have some dark themes with Blake and the others up against a criminal organisation with ties to the Federation.

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.
