I'm working on the #Blakes7 Production Diary Series C today after a short break. It's great to be diving back in! To get the creative juices kick-started though, I quickly mocked up another in the occasional 'Blake's 7 Things That Don't Exist That Should Exist' series. #FakeMerch

Last chance to pre-order this. Just 7 days to go. This will NOT be re-pressed so it's the last and only chance to get it if you want it... Matron.

Seriously, after next week this will no longer be available. Ever again. The definition of collectible. Experience tells me it’ll go for silly prices on eBay after that, so grab it while you can. Can’t play vinyl? Stick it in a frame and hang it on the wall. #Blakes7 #Synthpop

It's a cliché, but when it's gone it's truly gone. Don't miss out and don't let the eBay scalpers bite! 😉

I’m hoping the world will survive until we get the Series D book completed. I’d be a bit miffed if we all went up in a puff of smoke before then 👀

So who’s managed to grab tickets for the #Blakes7 screening event and Q&A at the BFI in November? Will we see you there? At the time of posting there are still a very small number of tickets available…

Just a quick update. Thanks so much for all the orders for the #Blakes7 sticker packs. I was overwhelmed at how quickly they sold out. It turns out hand writing and packing 80 envelopes is quite the task! All orders will be despatched in the next 2-3 days 😊 Thanks.
