Rating:  - Blake has a ship now he needs a crew..... on to Cycnus Alpha
The next volume of Blake 7 with two titles called "Cygnus Alpha" and "Time Squad".

Rating: - Further B7 foundations
The second volume of "Blake's 7" on video contains two more episodes of this beloved British sci-fi series. In "Cygnus Alpha" and "Time Squad," the foundations of the B7 saga are still being established. This series tells the story of a band of rebels who wage a campaign against an oppressive interplanetary power known as the Federation.
"Cygnus Alpha" opens with escaped prisoners Blake, Avon, and Jenna in possession of a mysterious alien spacecraft (given the name "Liberator"). They stage ... Read More

Rating:  - "I plan to live forever - or die trying!"
Although Blake's 7 is one of the best TV shows to have graced the small screen, one of its main problems is that it gets off to a dreadfully slow start - a fact which is made painfully clear by these two episodes. "Cygnus Alpha" is the better one, with the basic plot seeing Blake endeavouring to rescue the remaining prisoners to recruit as his crew. The prison world of Cygnus Alpha, with its established order of absolutist hereditary rule, is a none too subtle attack on organised religion, in particular ... Read More
Rating: - Two early episodes-cast and series producershave yet to gel
"Cygnus Alpha" is a bit hoky, with bizarre characters. It is essential viewing for fans of the series as it is a continuation of episode 2- "Space Fall." The plot of "Time Squad" is similar to ones used in a number of sci-fi shows. It is interesting, but predictable. END
