To mark the release of Avalon volume 1, the first of The Worlds of Blake’s 7, we caught up with producer/director John Ainsworth and star Olivia Poulet.

Olivia: I think she’s an interesting character because I think you do care and there are glimpses of… it’s not even really sensitivity so much as understanding and empathy and then at other times she’s just absolutely single minded and almost like a dictator.

It’s a complicated character, she’s definitely not entirely likeable I think, which is interesting and great. It makes her much more layered.

John: We were talking a little bit about this today: It’s almost like she’s got her eye on the bigger picture.
