Jacqueline Pearce died this morning.

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Made Blake's Seven more than worth a teenage boys attention.</span>

RIP Jacqueline - it was a great series

Just looked on IMDb, and found this quote:

[on her role in Blake's 7 (1978)] I'd been a masturbatory fantasy for an entire generation of young men. I mean, that made a girl feel good.

I was in my mid-20’s, and while I had a thing for Soo-Lin, Servalan, well, she didn’t exactly inspire clean, wholesome thoughts!

RIP Jacqueline, gone, but definitely not forgotten!

The first indications of my sexuality.  All I could think of was "Just look at those frocks!"

I did have a thing for Tarrant at the time as I recall.  Though nothing changes.  I have a strange crush on Shiro from Voltron.  🙂

I remember attempting to make one. Disappointed that it didn't work 😀

Bit of a nerdy fan of B7, wobbly sets and all. Servalan made it special really.

Lovely bit on twitter:

"Some say Darth Vader was the greatest leader of an evil space empire. But Jacqueline Pearce did it arms aloft, in high heels. Who didn't secretly yearn to be subjugated by her? Supreme Commander, we salute you."

RIP another of my childhood legends 🙁

She just frightened the beejesus out of me TBH.  However, I was about 5 or 6 years old.

You sure? Looking at the device she's holding I assumed the typo to be deliberate 🙂

Edit: Oh yeah, I see your winky now

I gave up Scouts to watch Blakes 7, both were on a Thursday night...

Also, whenever I hear the theme to A Question of Sport, I expect Blakes 7 to start shortly...

When I hear the theme to A Question of Sport, I react very differently.  A programme that makes me want to slit my bloody wrists.  Banal with desperately unfunny team captains and a format that has aged very badly...

Never heard of her but noticed the RIP thread as it was a single name.

Reading this weeks Popbitch newsletter she gets two mentions.

Clue below 🙂

Apologies if this empties your **** bank 🙂

EDIT - Three mentions, I missed the Russell T Davies anecdote
