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.
