Blakes7 Discussion

BEAST

Its just struck me that i have no idea why blake was written out of Blakes7 - he just gets lost then he is hardly mentioned until 'Blake' (apart from the obvious few times).

So can someone please enlighten me as to why this happend.

Thanks.

Why Blake disappeared or why Gareth Thomas disappeared?

Gareth Thomas asked to be written out. He was worried about being typecast and not being able to get other work.

He left to work with the RSC. However, because the series still carried his character's name, a number of directors thought he was still not available for work. That is why he asked to be killed off in 'Blake' very visibly so that he could definitely shown to have left the series. This was in case there was a 5th series. This could have happened because there was never meant to be a 4th series!

Yeah well when I see Peter Davidson on the tele I always say,"Oh look it the Doctor! It's Peter Davidson"! So it wouldn't matter because I'll typecast you anyway!

He's also been in 'Heartbeat' a few times as 'Nathaniel Clegghorn'.
