"I plan to live forever. Or die trying...
Sunday... must be time to provide shiny distractions in the shape of recs... And I've decided it's a good day to talk about Blake's 7 and Vila Restal...
Vila fanvid that sums everything up brilliantly, is spoiler free, and safe for newbies (how much sense some of the clips might make, I can't vouch for, but it's fun and very well edited.
The Adventures of Pink Pancho Vila (by Zukalis):
He's the most obvious 'type' on board: the lovable, cowardly, lower-class thief... but this is B7, and Vila, and you can never be quite sure. He's probably every bit as dangerous as the rest of the crew... except he scares himself, too.

(All ages, 2062 words, spoiler free, newbie friendly)

Box of Tricks by AstroGirl
(All ages, 3083 words, DW crossover - Fourth Doctor).
"Can I ask why you're standing inside a large box in the middle of a quarry in the middle of nowhere? Or is it personal?"

(All ages, 932 words, Red Dwarf crossover).
"The Cat reeled back. "You like being ignored and unnoticed? Because, tell you what, I bet it's working!"
Vila gets sent for supplies, and comes back with a change of image. (And it's Red Dwarf and Blake's 7 - and there's more, but I'll save that for another day when it's Avon's turn.)
