For those of us of a certain age this actress was one of the main reasons for watching Blake's 7.
She created a wonderful character on a very cardboard series (this is not disrespecting the programme, I use the word cardboard literally in this instance)

I'll say :o

Yep. Sadly, I have the complete Blakes' 7 on box set. By the way, she played a brilliant villain in "The Two Doctors" with Patrick Troughton's last outing as the Doctor in Colin Baker's time in the TARDIS.

Indeed. Servalan began as a villainess, but by the end of the show she was a rather more sympathetic character. It is a tribute to Jacgueline that she made such a strong character out of Servalen, since Terry Nation had difficulty writing for female characters, if you look at the other females in Blakes 7 Jenna was the blonde, Cally the brunette, and Soolin the one who changed her hairstyle every week.

I didn't recognise the name in the thread title, but of course I remember Servalan. Sad loss.

Sad. Thought she played Servalan so well.
