Avon gets a lot of praise, but you simply can't fault Vila when it comes to survival..

He and Avon made it to the end by very different tactics. I like how he can actually do hand to hand when the need calls.. Orbit is a great episode.

Poor Vila. If Jenna was eternally on her way to some gymkhana somewhere then Vila seems to be endlessly in search of the Alan Ayckbourn play that he has somehow escaped from. There is also a little bit of Tony Hancock in the performance too. He was always my favourite character and as a child taught me that if you were not the biggest, the strongest and the bravest that you could nevertheless use sarcasm and ironic understatement to considerable effect in many settings. Terrible lesson, really, but it has seen me through half a century (and counting) of life so far!

Sounds like I need to go and read some Alan Ayckbourn plays! Excellent life advice - better a Vila than a Tarrant!

You cut one of my favorite lines EVER: "Use your 'delicate, skillful touch.'" WHUMP "I used my delicate, skillful boot!"

@@spacedoutgame I know it'll be much shorter, but will you be doing one for Gan? I know he wasn't in it a very long time, but looking back he was very much the Hodor of Blakes 7. Even his final words still strike hard.

Aw, Vila was always my favorite. Gauda Prime was rough on everyone, but I felt the worst about poor Vila. He reminded me of the anecdote about the man falling from the ten story building: As he passed each floor, people heard him saying "So far, so good", all the way down. For all he tried keeping out of danger, he put a light-hearted face on it when he got stuck.

I think Vila was my favourite character in Blakes 7. Maybe I empathise with him!

0:55 Love Vila's opening here. He briefly came across as psychotic & definitely sinister but thereafter became just the show's comic relief. Only Paul Darrow stayed true to the original 'Dirty Dozen' concept. The Seven weren't meant to be nice people.
