Survivors Rebooted

Survivors
The post-apocalypse is going through something of a renaissance on British TV at the moment. A remake of ‘Day of the Triffids’ has been announced; Halloween saw the zombie-Big Brother mini-series ‘Dead Set’ while the weeks running up to Christmas saw a remake of ‘Survivors’ – the classic 70s post-apocalyptic series set in a world where nearly everyone has perished to a highly infectious disease. While it had its moments, ultimately the remake was an unsatisfying affair, with a succession of nagging gripes that overshadowed a pretty slick production.
