In addition to the extras mentioned there's also an hours 'In Conversation' between director Michael E Briant and Matthew Sweet .

The documentary on Stephen Grief is 35 mins and the Liberation: Blake's 7 Year 1 doc is an 85min epic exploring every episode of that first season featuring contributions from 29 interviewees, 17 of which have been newly shot

Plus those new special effects look superb.

All in all a brilliant set.

Racking my brain here, but I don't think I have ever seen an episode of 'Blake's 7'
