DVD Description

Terry Nation’s drama series Survivors, broadcast by the BBC between 1975 to 1977, was one of the most popular series of the decade. Set in a post-apocalyptic, present day world ravaged by a devastating plague, Survivors explored how humanity would cope in a world stripped of modern technology and comforts.

The disease struck quickly and with devastating effect – a global plague that, in Britain, spares just a few thousand people. This is the chilling story of some of those who survive — Jenny, Greg, Abby and others — determined to construct a new community from the surrounding wasteland where the technology and skills of the old life have become obsolete.

Featuring all three series of the classic drama, this collection tells the full Survivors story, from the outbreak of the pandemic to foundation of the settlements to the rebirth of society.

Synopsis

A conical flask smashes in a laboratory and a deadly virus escapes into the atmosphere. A number of survivors, seemingly immune to the disease, search each other out. Complete episodes from series one, two and three - the complete saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever BBC Production, 8 Dec 2008
By R. C. Meade (Suffolk UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At it's best, Survivors 1975 - 77 is the most realistic series the BBC has ever made - dumping the incidental music & replacing it with the natural sounds of birdsong etc was probably an economy measure - but it was a very good move.
At it's worst, probably "The Witch" & "The Peacemaker" episodes are still more entertaining & thought provoking than most modern TV.
The acting is natural & far from perfect, but even more realistic because of it - the diction is very good. Special mentions go to Lucy Fleming, Carolyn Seymour, Denis Lil & Ian McCulloch, also the late Celia Gregory.
Please buy & enjoy, then use what influence you can muster - to persuade modern Broadcasters to produce material of this quality.
The only thing lacking in Survivors is the technical 16/9 clarity that a modern production can bring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Original Survivors, 9 Feb 2009
By Mr. Paul Dorrington (Halesowen, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent, I really enjoyed watching the series again.
It took me right back to the 1970s.
Relatively low budget BBC drama, with no special effects or blood and gore, but lots of imagination and in the main very credible characters which made compelling stories.
Watching the series as an adult (I was 13-16 when it was aired on TV) it was striking how many different themes were explored (such as the execution of Barney, the Miners' Union, Greg becoming bored with family life, not to mention who should control the hydro-electric power generated in Scotland!).
Great stuff, and a highly recommended piece of British TV nostalgia.
The set was quite expensive, but I don't regret spending the money.
If you are in your 40s and have Survivors in the back of your mind, then buy it!
