Blagg's formula is a generalised form of Bode's law which, unlike Bode's law, can be equally well applied to the satellite systems. This paper is a review of Blagg's formula in the light of the newly discovered satellites and rings of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. In the case of Uranus, new constants for Blagg's formula are suggested. This revised law allows incorporation of 12 of the 17 new objects discovered since Blagg's original formulation. Finally, the need for a better analytical fit to Blagg's empirical curve and the significance of the law are briefly discussed.
