Magic Bullet Productions has just released a Blake’s 7 audio adventure, When Travis Met Blake, one of a number of scripts, featuring characters and situations from the BBC TV series Blake’s 7, launched 48 years ago this January, produced on a not-for-profit basis as audios, comics and stage plays from 1991 to present.

Starring Brian Croucher and Robert Barringer-Lock in the title roles, When Travis Met Blake is a free-to-download, dark and mysterious 15 minute long audio story authored by Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore, with sound design from Chrisi Pashley and artwork by Timothy Stephen Keable.

Magic Bullet Productions is an independent audio-production company formed in 2001. While they were originally set up to produce the Kaldor City audios, they’ve also been known to turn their hand to magazines and (in collaboration) books as well.

In 2004, they acquired the rights to produce Lawrence Miles’ Faction Paradox audio CDs.
