This chilling and unforgettable post-apocalyptic 1970’s series, Survivors, is based on a novel by Terry Nation (who also wrote for Doctor Who).

In the TV show, a deadly virus has destroyed most of the world’s population. A small and random selection of survivors are the “lucky ones” who must confront a new world filled with danger. They join together and utilize their talents, learn new skills and begin the process of rebuilding civilization. The survivors lack power, water, and food supplies. They confront ghost cities, empty fields, and the most frightening question of all — can they all be trusted?

Main actors in the Survivors TV show are Ian McCullock, Lucy Fleming, Carolyn Seymour, Denis Lill, Joh Abineri, Celia Gregory, Lorna Lewis, Stephen Dudley and Tanya Ronder. Notable guest stars include Patrick Troughton, Peter Jeffrey, Brian Blessed, George Baker, Philip Madoc Bryan Pringle Ian Cuthbertson Roberty Fyfe, Denis Lawson, David Neilson, Peter Duncan, June Brown, David Troughton, Roger Lloyd-Pack and Peter Bowles.
