The Way Back	A1	2 January 1978	Terry Nation	Michael E. Briant
(Before the series starts, Roj Blake had been a resistance leader against the totalitarian Federation and they had murdered his family; instead of killing him as a martyr, they had erased his past and reprogrammed him into a content citizen.) In a back street there is an illegal meeting to protest about unpopular government policies. A federation security squad routinely efficiently shoots down everybody at the meeting with their standard issue paraguns. Blake sees this, and it re-awakes his suppressed memories. When the government finds out his memory has returned, he is arrested on trumped-up charges of child molestation, and sentenced to the prison colony on Cygnus Alpha. While in a transit cell aboard the transport ship London, he meets the thief Vila Restal, and the smuggler pilot Jenna Stannis.

Orbit	D11	7 December 1981	Robert Holmes	Brian Lighthill
A renegade scientist named Egrorian, offers Avon a powerful weapon called the "Tachyon Funnel" in exchange for Orac. Avon considers the offer and shuttles down with Vila and Orac. Lurking in the shadows, Servalan is really behind the transfer, and prepares her double-cross that would give her both the weapon and Orac. Later, when their overloaded shuttle falls from orbit, Avon must decide between killing and ejecting Vila or dump a dangerous cargo in order to save the ship.

Warlord	D12	14 December 1981	Simon Masters	Viktors Ritelis
Avon calls a meeting on Xenon between the five most powerful factions resisting the Federation.

Now that Servalan knows the location of the Xenon base, the crew abandon and destroy the facility. Avon reveals that he knows a leader who can unite the resistance and destroy the Federation who Orac believes to be alive on Gauda Prime. Once at the planet, the Scorpio comes under attack and is heavily damaged. The crew teleport safely to the surface, but Tarrant remains behind and crash lands the ship. He is later found and taken back to a Gauda Prime base by none other than Blake. Unsure of Tarrant's loyalties, Blake poses as a bounty hunter while Avon and the others converge on the base. Believing that Blake has betrayed them, Avon kills Blake. Moments later, he and the rest of the team are caught in an inescapable Federation ambush, and Federation troopers gun down all except Avon. Surrounded and standing over the body of Blake, Avon smiles and raises his own weapon. The screen cuts to black and the credits begin to roll, accompanied by the sound of gunfire. Avon's gun is the last sound to be heard.

[edit] After the fourth series

The original creator of the series, much fan fiction, and a novel have found ways to keep one or more of the main characters alive after the events at the end of series four, and to continue the story.
