Sure looks that way.  I presume that some would find him eventually.  If 
you remember back to Series 1 "Orac", Ensor said that Orac will
obey 
whoever has his key.

I'd like to think it was all a terrible "accident".  At least
that way 
some of my impressions of them are still intact

Scheming I suspect.  It looked to me like the Federation planned a raid on

a smallish rebel outpost.  I think that they were going to be surprised 
with who they found there.

That one I can answer.



The BBC were under tough instructions to cut back on their spending.  For 
them, Blake's 7 was quite a big production, very expensive and not really 
main stream.  Towards the end of the third series, a directive came from 
above that Terry Nation and his staff were to be given one last series and

(according to an interview with Nation) "It must be finished.  There
can 
be no more episodes".



At that meeting, Terry Nation resigned on the spot and shortly afterwards 
he headed for America.  A new crew was put in place to finish the story 
off.  The third series was finished as originally planned, but according 
to the same interview, the fourth series was "going to be quite
different".



These days, it's just too late to start again.



Cheers,
