In this British series by Terry Nation, Blake is a rebel framed for pedophilia. En route to a penal colony, Blake convinces several of his fellow prisoners to revolt. They find an alien spaceship and strike out to bring down the Empire. Some of them want freedom, some of them want money, some of them want to be left alone. Together, they are... Blake's 7.
