Restoring Blake's 7 with Paul Vanezis

Teleporting in—welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7! We had a fantastic chat with Paul Vanezis, the genius behind the visual cleanup of the Blake's 7 Blu-ray box set. Right off the bat, we dive into his experiences restoring this classic series, which has been a labour of love with some hefty challenges. Paul shares some behind-the-scenes stories about the challenges he faced, from dealing with old tape glitches to ensuring the episodes look as good as they did back in 1978. It’s a fascinating chat that goes into the ins and outs of restoration, and we even get a peek at some of the tech wizardry that goes into making the show shine in modern HD. If you love this subject and also need some behind-the-scenes banter, this episode is a must-listen. We're teleporting out for now!
