I'm a massive Blake's 7 fan so I'm absolutely gutted. Will always be remembered as a legend of the series.

In late 2014, he suffered an aortic aneurysm. Due to complications, surgeons had to amputate both of his legs; one above the knee and the other below it.

This is the first I have heard about this...

Every 21st December on the anniversary of B7 ending I always watch the last episode.

RIP Paul Darrow

Dammit. Darrow was the man. TV sci-fi is desperately in need of more sneery anti-heroes.

Gutted to read this. Paul Darrow as Avon was one of the greatest tv characters of all time. The original anti hero and a magnificent bastard all around. I never met him sadly, but by all accounts he was a nice, generous man who always had time for his fans.

So sad but at least 78 is a good innings. Sad

I always hoped we would see more of him on tv with guest roles in things like Lewis, Inspector Lynley, Silent Witness, Midsomer Murders etc.., . I certainly expected him to turn up in New Who at some point but alas no.

Most of all though i wish he had got his planned B7 revival off the ground. That he did not was a big disappointment.

I came across a Youtube video last year which was of him addressing a conference audience somewhere. It was very entertaining - he was a very funny guy.

I’m absolutely saddened to hear of the death of one of my heroes. Paul Darrow made Blake’s 7 magic. He stole the show on Timelash from Colin Baker when he appeared on Dr Who in 1985. He also appeared on The Silurians in 1970. RIP.
