Survivors, new TV series on BBC1

Post by Biker »

It's a remake of the old mid 1970's series about a survivors after a world wide pandemic and damn good it is too. Sadly no speeding car chases after a tanker filled with sand, nor toasting cops in an overturned ute, nor does it have Tina Turner in it.
It's based on the book by Terry Nation, a good read if you can get hold of a copy.

Check out the TV show here:

Makes for some serious "what if" type thinking when I'm trying to get to sleep instead LOL! It's even got my girlfriend thinking what if type scenarios too! That was a biiig surprise, normally she thinks such programmes are just "silly". She said she already worked out where she could bury my body. Should I be worried? My planning was based upon me being one of the survivors, not a bloody victim!!

However any planning before the s**t hits the fan can't be a bad thing eh?

Anyway I'm enjoying the series so far, hope it delivers more of the same and doesn't descend into farce like a lot of these series tend to do.

Been watching it mate...and im not really one for watching serials or dramas,but its addictive stuff.thought the most recent episode had a touch of Mad Max 2 about it,with the people trying to survive in the compound,but then again,that might have been part of the original series.great stuff all the same.
YOU WANNA GET OUTA HERE.....YOU TALK TO ME
