Blake's 7 was the favourite television series of Gavin Oliver Scott. In 2600, Bernice Summerfield obtained two episodes of the series for him on VHS. She noted that Roj Blake seemed to exist both as a fictional character and as a real person, "which can't be right." (PROSE: The Least Important Man) She also had mentioned knowing someone who was in Blake's 7, which she quickly qualified with "the terrorist group, not the TV show." (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)
