I don't think Blake's 7 had better writing than Doctor Who. I think Blake's 7 strength was it had more defined characters and a bigger regular cast that it could write for.
It was the interplay between the characters that made it compelling to watch.

I don't think it's a coincidence that my favourite Blake's 7 episodes were written by Robert Holmes who consistently wrote some of Doctor Who's best stories over a 17 year period and who was script editor during the peak of it's popularity during Tom Baker's first 3 series.
