Anyone here watch the BBC TV series called "Survivors"? Bloody awesome show. I'm currently watching season 2 which has just aired.

Guess not then! I missed it as I was away a University and didn't have a telly.

I remember not being too bothered though because (having not seen the original Terry Nation show from the 70s) I saw a similar show a few years earlier, which was crap. I think it was called The Last Train?

Also, 28 Days Later, Children of Men, Threads etc have all rather tured me off from the whole post-apocalyptic-survivors thing. Shame because looking at i nw, Survivors looks quite good.

Oh it's great! I'm currently watching season 2 episode 4. It's getting better each episode! The start of the season was completely cinematic! (I'm sure you can... find... it somewhere).

Each season is only 6 episodes.

Addendum: Just finished episode 4. It's GRIPPING stuff! You know when you get that heart pounding at the end of the episode! Each night i've watched an episode and its the same at the end of every one! There'd BETTER be a 3rd season!

Just finished episode 5! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! GRIPPING!! OMG!!

One more episode to go in this season. This is some of the BEST television I've seen in years.

Craps on the other shows I'm watching at the moment, like Heroes (which isn't hard) and even Stargate Universe. Actually it's in a leauge of it's own. Those other two are FAR more... science-fictiony. This is more of a what-if scenario and looking at the aftermath. I'd say it has more of a LOST vibe, but with a less 'WTF is going on' story line.

You really CARE about these characters and so much goes on that by season 2 episode 5 I was like PLEASE just give these people a BREAK!

Anyway yeah. Totaly recommend!!
