Just saw a preview for a new post-apocalyptic show (new here, at least) called Survivors. Looks to be set after some sort of epidemic (there was a mushroom cloud too)- reminded me a bit of King's The Stand. Appears to be about a few civilians trying to, well, survive in a PAW. Looks promising. Starts this Saturday on BBC America. I'll definitely check it out and let you know what I think.

Series 2 is showing in the UK at the moment. I dont want to say anything about the plot / characters as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who might watch it, but personally I've been watching it and thoroughly enjoying it (particularly the last couple of episodes).Originally posted by Raellus View PostAuthor of the unofficial and strictly non canon Alternative Survivor’s Guide to the United Kingdom -
Is it anything like the original Survivors series. I loved that. Oh wait, maybe I'm thinking of Threads.sigpic "It is better to be feared than loved" - Nicolo MachiavelliComment

Are you thinking of the one that has the opening credits sequence of an asian scientist getting aboard an airplane and (implied) basically spreading a massive plague through the whole worldOriginally posted by Targan View Post
That addressed a few down-to-earth points that could really affect your quality of life in a PAW--like stray/feral animals with rabies.
"Threads" was a film that had a pretty gritty down-and-dirty, I-need-to-take-a-bath-now feel about it. REALLY a downer.
"The War Game" was a 1965 BBC TV production that wasn't aired until 1985 (due to its graphic and "disturbing"content.Last edited by WallShadow; 02-12-2010, 04:32 AM."Let's roll." Todd Beamer, aboard United Flight 93 over western Pennsylvania, September 11, 2001.Comment

The orginal Survivors aired in the mid 1970's. Afraid I've never seen the original so I can't say how this version compares to it.Originally posted by Targan View PostAuthor of the unofficial and strictly non canon Alternative Survivor’s Guide to the United KingdomComment

I've been watching this and have to say the BBC has done a great job.
When the 1st series was on last year and we had the Swine Flu just breaking out, my wife said how close to the truth this could have been.
Watch it and you won't be disappointed.Comment

It was toward the end of the show, but the verdict seems to be that booze is better than dope...Originally posted by Targan View PostI'm guided by the beauty of our weapons...First We Take Manhattan, Jennifer Warnes

I find that surprising. I'm guessing that that verdict assumes moderate use of either drug Because I'm pretty sure that excessive alcohol consumption will do alot more damage to your body than excessive cannabis use.Originally posted by pmulcahy11b View Postsigpic "It is better to be feared than loved" - Nicolo MachiavelliComment

Survivors is a British television series devised by Terry Nation and produced by Terence Dudley at the BBC from 1975 to 1977. It concerns the plight of a group of people who have survived an accidentally released plague that kills nearly the entire population of the planet. The programme is usually described as falling into the science fiction genre, and fits into the sub-genre of apocalyptic fiction. It was remade in 2008.*************************************
