Britbox UK is adding further genre material to their Out of This World section.
All four seasons of Blake’s 7 will arrive tomorrow (10 September)
All 52 episodes and four seasons of the cult British sci-fi show from the mind of Terry Nation. In the third century of the second calendar, after the chaos of the intergalactic wars, a powerful dictatorship has risen to dynamic proportions and engulfed most of the populated worlds. Liberty has become a crime punishable by death, and the majority of the population lives in a drug-induced state of docility. This tyrannical authority fulfils George Orwell’s prophecy of 1984 to its most terrifying extremes. This government is known as the Federation. Each world has its share of rebels who either turned to crime or the Resistance. This is the story of one such group of rebels, led by a man named Blake. His group is largely composed of escaped convicts, thieves and smugglers, who are thrown together by chance.
A large run of The Avengers will also be available:
The two complete surviving episodes of the first season, plus the iconic Emma Peel & Tara King seasons of the series starring Patrick MacNee, Diana Rigg & Linda Thorson as the incorrigible secret agents extraordinaire. Together they defeat criminal masterminds and solve unfathomable mysteries in the original cult TV classic.
Additionally, both Aaru Dalek movies – Dr Who and the Daleks and Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 AD – will be streaming from 10 September, as will Quatermass and the Pit and One Million Years BC.
The following Thursday, 17 September, will see Terry Nation’s Survivors on the service:
All three seasons of Terry Nation’s acclaimed BBC science fiction drama in which 95% of the population have been wiped out by a freak plague, leaving the remaining survivors to rebuild civilisation.
