Notes
- This was supposed to be a two parter, leading into the finale, but Terry Nation was unable to deliver that, so the show turned to Allan Prior to deliver something original for this, Episode 12/13.
- Bruce Purchase plays Gola here. He’s also well known for playing “The Captain” in the Doctor Who serial “The Pirate Planet“.
- The only time Travis appears in an episode and doesn’t meet Blake.
- Travis’ ship is destroyed in this episode.

#B7Marathon #Blakes7 Blake's 7 Ep 25 - "The Keeper" - 27 Mar 1979 1/2 that seems all backwards - that's been done before. Interesting angle w/Avon going rogue to try and kill Travis. The main thrust here is "who holds the secret?" The answer was both obvious and not obvious at the same time.
