Well I don't know if there are any other survivors fans out there.. but I love this series... esp series 1.
Not sure how Freema would stack up here... a teacher... ?!
Also how could you replace Carolyn Seymour as Abbey Grant.. she was excellent in the role... shame she fell out with the makers..
Still the time is ripe for a remake as long as it doesn't end up being another 'Last Train'.

I loved it - well series one, anyway. It all got a bit easy after that, although the smallpox episode was a classic (anything written by the bloke who played Greg? was great).

Smallpox? The Lights of London?
I hope to buy series3 soon and finish my set!
I agree.. apprently there where big ructions after series 1 which is which we got the semi soap of living and self surviving. I hope they can keep the pace of series 1 .. perhaps with a modern twist... I think austerity and self reliance will only get more relevant over the next few years.. so pack your bunker with a genny to watch this!
