Conceived by Dr Who's Terry Nation 'Survivors' is a groundbreaking and startlingly realistic television drama series. First aired in 1975 at the height of the Cold War the post-apocalyptic storylines immediately gripped the imagination of the British public and remains compelling viewing to this day. This digitally remastered DVD release includes all eleven hours of the first series. Episode titles: The Fourth Horseman Genesis Gone Away Corn Dolly Gone to the Angels Garland's
The Survivors follows the lives of those few people who manage to live through an apocalyptic plague as they desperately struggling against the odds to rebuild their lives in this new and strange world.
To say that series one is grim would be an understatement. It takes a strong person to sit through the whole box set without the onset of depression. But you just can"t stop watching this wonderfully compelling piece of totally original television. The fact that a large majority of the series was filmed on location helps it look less like normal BBC series of the time; somehow this gives it a strangely timeless quality. The themes of struggle, pain and corruption are as relevant today as they ever were. I recommend you watch this series just so you know how powerful and daring television of the 70s could be.
