Anyone else looking forward to 'Survivors' (BBC late Nov)

[Pupp]

Rehash of the Terry Nation post-virus doomsday novel, first dramatised in the 70s and pretty thought provoking. Hope they don't phuq it up

Very much so. I'm a sucker for anything post-apocolyptic.

I hope Benny is on it

[mitzy]

Yeah like anything like that , looking forward to having something good that I have paid my TV fee for.

Oh yes indeedy ,I didn't want to be the first to post about though

I have read a few reviews of it and it looks good in print

[becksW]

I liked The Stand (Both the book and film) and Swan Song - another post apocolyptic book that I thought would be good as a film. The difference with these two is they had religious conotations, it'll be interesting to see which route this drama will take.

It was one of my favourite TV shows in the 70's so am looking forward to the new version, hope it's on BBC HD!

[BlueCello]

I saw an ad for it, it looked quite good I shall be watching.

No, because it's got Freema Ageym... Agima... Agyme... that bird who played Martha Jones in Doctor Who in it, and she can't act for st!

I was looking forward to it until I saw the trailer and spotted Freema Whatsherface in it.


WORST.ACTRESS.EVAH.

Last episode of Dr Who I saw which had her in it, her main acting 'skill' seemed to be striding around looking down her nose at everyone. I will give Survivors a go if only to see her hopefully die a 'surprise death' in epsiode two (Like the star of Spooks and the deep fat fryer a few years ago.)

[Famous Graham]

Was she the bint who turned up in Torchwood for a few episodes? Annoying London accent with a hint of tree?
