# I... Quite like the Blakeless seasons.
Can't say I'm too fond of Tarrant, or rather the way he was written (find and replace BLAKE with TARRANT), but even from S1E02 onwards it was The Avon & Villa Show.

Season 4's cyber-punk rave aesthetic was torn straight out of 2000AD.

# I agree
The show was watchable and in the absence of much else sci-fi was quite of its time and even now on a re-watch I can see past the wobbly sets and poor effects and take it for what it was.

Also, the female eye candy was really rather good.

# Trying to think of who of the male cast might have been considered as dishy...
The first Travis..? Tarrant, obviously, and of course Brian Blessed.

# Vila definitely had admirers
My aunt was such a fan of the show, she had her parents tape it for her when she couldn't watch it. Only thing is, they didn't have a VCR as it was before they got into many homes, so it was audio-only... Made no difference for the finalé, of course.

# Given the prevelance of cgi and the static nature of sets I'm surprised no one has turned their hand to reworking old shows with new sets e.g. Blake's 7 set in a 70s sitcom house
Leave the actors, costumes and moveable objects alone, just change the sets.
