Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th September, 2018

5th September, 2018.

Yep: it’s officially sad.

Jacqueline Pearce, the woman who played Servalan in Blake’s 7, has died of lung cancer at the age of seventy-four.

She’ll be missed: by both family, and co-workers — she’d been a regular in the various Big Finish audio productions — and by fans.

She made intergalactic space villainy look good.

And oh so riveting watchable.
