Nyssa asked:
Was it a four year fight, the same with real time, or did we just see the highlights?
I usually think of it lasting about five years all told, roughly eighteen months between Way back and Star One, and likewise between Star One and Blake. Between episodes they get on with ordinary life - as much as it can be 'ordinary', or have adventures that just didn't happen to be recorded by the Beeb. Some episodes are clearly separated by a fair length of time, when they're off doing other things, like DoG, where Tarrant promises Groff to take a message to his family on Zaranah.
