SurvivorsSee also Survivor. Survivors was a British television programme created by Terry Nation and produced by the BBC from 1975 to 1977. It concerned the plight of a group people who had survived a plague that had killed nearly the entire population of the planet. The programme is usually described as falling into the science fiction genre, but a more appropriate description would be to call it apocalyptic fiction. The series epitomises the pessimistic tendency of British science fiction as shown on British television begining with Quatermass and the adaptation on Nineteen Eighty-Four and taken up in later series. The programme ran for three series and 38 episodes. It starred Carolyn Seymour, Ian McCulloch, Lucy Fleming and Denis Lill, with support from Talfryn Thomas, John Abineri, Chris Tranchell, and Hannah-Maria Pravda. Terry Nation left after the first series to concentrate on other work and some critics feel that the direction of the programme suffered as a result. Lucy Fleming's mother was the actress Celia Johnson and her father was Peter Fleming, brother of Ian Fleming the creator of James Bond. The first two series are now available on Region 2 DVD.
