7/10
Strictly it's a TV serial, but we watched it as a three hour movie, and it's ok in this format. It's traditional to watch it every year (Mrs Algo gets the shakes if we don't) so its score, like that of Three Amigos! is a little questionable, but it retains its magic despite some of the most dated effects I saw all year (and I'm a Blakes 7 fan!). The cast is great, as ever the lead is irritating and nowhere near as talented as half the reast of the kids. Robert Stephens shines as the villain,a nd Patrick Troughton who I love in everything is pure fantasy genius. The last episode is a bit of a letdown though, especially the "and it was all a dream" finale.
