Follow Me is a VCR-era fan vid by Mary Van Duesen that has been remastered digitally. The vid was discussed in Enterprising Women chapter on fanvids. The pairing is Blake/Travis.

Enteprising Women:

"The romantic song "Follow Me,"" pulls together clips from Blake's 7 in which the hero's nemesis, Travis, repeatedly attempts to kill the hero. Rather than building on the theme of affection and devotion expressed in the song, the videotape runs counter to it, expressing in black humor the hate relationship between the hero Blake and his archenemy. The overly sweet music, together with the soulful text, run exactly counter to the hard, bitter relationship expressed in the video source product. And yet, the combination of visual image and song text does catch in humorous reversal the truly obsessive quality of the relationship portrayed."

The vid also was mentioned in the 1993 essay Pairings in B7 songvids:

Setting the gooey-sweet "Follow Me" by John Denver to Blake/Travis, was a stroke of genius!
