Welsh actor Gareth Thomas, best known as the star of cult BBC sci-fi show Blake’s 7, has died at the age of 71 from heart failure.

Rada-trained Thomas made his acting debut in 1965, before taking small roles in well-known series such as The Avengers, Z Cars and Coronation Street.

But his most famous role was as political dissident Roj Blake, the leader of a group of rebels fighting against the totalitarian Terran Federation, in Terry Nation’s sci-fi drama Blake’s 7, which drew in up to 10 million viewers a week in the UK.

Blake's 7 was one of my favorite shows,  sure it was really low budget and at times over the top but it had great characters and story lines  and above all the good guys weren't goody two shoes types
