Blakes 7

British TV sci-fi show from the late 1970's where a group of ill matched revolutionaries fight an all prevading evil federation through a gravel pit near Letchworth (Bedfordshire).

However dispite it's zero budget special effects and shakey sets the quality of both the writing and acting made it a classic. It ran for four seasons.
