A revolutionary reinvention of the long-running BBC series made in the
late 1970s, Blake=C3=A2=C2=80=C2=99s 7 tells the story of seven criminals=
 - 6 guilty
and 1 innocent - on their way to life on a prison colony in space, who
together wrestle freedom from imprisonment. They acquire an alien ship
which gives them a second chance at life and become the most unlikely
heroes of their time.

David Ellender, CEO FremantleMedia International and Kids & Family
Entertainment said, =C3=A2=C2=80=C2=9CBlake=C3=A2=C2=80=C2=99s 7 was such=
 a forward-thinking concept that
the show continues to have resonance with audiences today. Its complex
characters and gritty storylines, coupled with the highly talented team
and modern production techniques are sure to appeal to both original
fans of the show and new viewers.=C3=A2=C2=80=C2=9D
