Survivors Returns To BBC One

by Peter Jolly

Survivors, the remake of the post apocalyptic sci fi show created by Doctor Who writer Terry Nation in the 70s is returning to BBC One for a second season in January 2010.

Survivors was originally broadcast between 1975-1977 and was based on a group of people who survive a deadly plague which wipes out most of humanity. In 2008 the BBC recommissioned the show and brought it up to date, 99% of the world’s population has succumbed to a virulent strain of influenza and our group of heroes are left to manage in a world with no society or civilisation.

The show is written by Primeval co-creator Adrian Hodges and stars Julie Graham, Max Beesley and Zoe Tapper of Demons fame. Season one ended with a huge cliffhanger, which is exactly where season two will pick up from.
