Terry Nation invented the Daleks for the series Dr Who he also wrote scripts for Erik Sykes, Frankie Howerd, and Tony Hancock. He went on to create the 1975 TV series Survivors and then create Blake's 7 (which ran from 1978 to 1981). The cast included'Gareth Thomas as Roj Blake' Whose most famous line is "I am not insane... I am not insane... I am not insane." Blake wast he ruthless Commander of The Liberator who becomes obsessed with destroying the Federation Computer Control. Blake dies on Planet Gauda Prime. Blake's enemy is Servalan whose best line is:"But first, there is the matter of that degrading and primitive act you subjected me to in the control room... I should like you to do it again." The most popular chracter in the series is Avon whose best line is: "I am not expendable. I am not stupid. And I am not going." Avon takes Blake's place as the central charcter in the series. Between November 2024 and Jan 2025 Harry Pye and Rowland Smith painted characters from the show (acrylic on 16 by 20 inch sized canvas)They have never been exhibited before now.
