Blake’s 7 short story set after show’s cliffhanger finale adapted as free to download audio adventure

By John Freeman on December 27, 2023

Premature Burial, a Blake’s 7 short story by David Tulley and Alan Stevens, has been made into an impressive, free to download audio adventure, through the collaboration of sound designers Chrisi Pashley and the award-winning Alistair Lock.

The tale has received approval from TV script writer and editor Chris Boucher, who thought it a credible sequel to his scripted finalé to Blake’s 7, exploring the final shoot-out on Gauda Prime.

In addition, the production from Magic Bullet Productions, featuring complementary art by Tim Keable, features a wonderful cameo from Alistair Lock, giving voice to the computers Orac and (for the first time) Slave.
