BBC electronic music and a rotating logo, rebuilt each series as the crew was killed off — which on this show happened often enough to matter.

No single version of the Blake's 7 titles stands for the rest, so the clip here collects them together across seasons 1–4.

It arrived on BBC One in 1978, when A Question of Sport, Grandstand and This Is Your Life were also on the network.

The Incredible Hulk

The most confident opening Gerry Anderson ever made: a burst of brass, then a rapid-fire montage of clips from the episode you are about to watch, so no two broadcasts were identical.
