About:

Vila Restal is a Delta grade thief and master lockpick, from the planet Earth. After his capture by the Federation, he is sent to the penal planet Cygnus Alpha, where he meets up with the rebel leader Roj Blake. Together with several other criminals, they capture a fantastic alien ship and set out to thwart the evil Federation and try to bring peace and justice to the galaxy. Vila is often seen as drunk, cowardly and lazy, but he has proven time and again that he is reliable, intelligent and quite useful in a pinch. His clever and witty banter with Avon has been the highlight of the show for many viewers.

Vila is the longest serving cast member in Blake's 7, appearing in all 52 of the broadcast episodes, a feat that none of the other principal cast can claim. After Avon, Vila was considered the series' most popular character.
