Customer Reviews

It's life but not as we know it...........
This is the first, & best, series of a very enjoyable trilogy.

The acting & production is pretty well rooted in the 70's but, make no mistake, Survivors tackles head on the issue of what would life be like in the aftermath of a virus wiping out 99.9% of the world's population & tackles it well.

I first saw this in 1975 & was so thrilled when I found that it is now available on dvd - about time too. In the ensuing 30 odd years I've met many people who vaguley remember the series & it can still manage to be the topic of great conversation.

Terry Nation's grip was, unfortunately, relaxed on the series as time went on but Survivors still stands up well to the test of time.

Great stuff.

terry nation does it again
a sci-fi drama that really is sci-fi, not soap opera in space.

you'll know the basic plot outline from other reviews, so i'll focus on the series' other strong points: mainly realistic characters ; gripping story arc; strong female characters; lifelike script; doesn't glamourise the post-apocalyptic world, or violence; tackles human frailties, there are very few "goodies" or "baddies", just people.

stays with one long after watching, provokes interesting debate.

yes, television for thinking people!

dated but good
excellent idea, hasnt travelled very well at all, acting is far to pretentious, and wooden, almost to the point where you actually see the actors waiting to say there lines, far to many long shots taking ages to get anywhere ig someone walking down the staircase then coming to the bottom to say 2 lines that have no relevance, much looking forward to the new remake though. try not to buy the DVD set, just borrow it and skip through the bad bits, wont take long!
