SHEM
Played by GARETH THOMAS
German Character name: Shem
German Voice Artist: Hans Werner-Bussinger
SHEM is Adam’s friend
- he goes along with the freedom fighter’s hot headed
activism, sometimes somewhat reluctantly. Shem is
something of a nagging wife to Adam, often trying
to suggest his rebel chum try not to be quite so
excitable. Shem is not in the series as much as
Blake’s 7 fans would
like and is barely the ‘freedom fighter’ of popular
repute. In the main he is a confidante for Adam
and does little but run around in what looks like
a darts shirt. The only episode in which Shem/Gareth
Thomas gets anything worthwhile to do is Hideout.
 Welsh
actor GARETH THOMAS
is well-known to sci-fi fans as Roj Blake in the
first two seasons (and two further episodes) of
the BBC’s Blake’s 7
(1978-81). Between Star Maidens
and Blake he was Professor
Brake in the HTV supernatural children’s serial
Children of the Stones.
Another children’s SF serial he starred in was Knights
of God in 1987. Probably his most celebrated
role is as a struggling Welsh farmer in the 1984
serial Morgan’s Boy
for which he received a BAFTA nomination. He wants
to be remembered as 'a bloody good actor' and that
he is. He now lives in Galashiels in the Scottish
borders.
