The Gathering

Survivors was a British television series devised by Terry Nation and produced by Terence Dudley at the BBC from 1975 to 1977. It concerned the plight of a group of people who had survived an accidentally released plague.

The programme ran for three series and 38 episodes.

I just seen the first episode which I have never seen before and found the story OK but he acting is abit poor and very outdated(those 70's hairstyles and clothing) but will watch the rest soon.

The BBC are now making a new remake TV series starring Freema Agyeman in Manchester which looks quite good.

The show - currently being filmed in Manchester - has been re-developed for the present day by Primeval guru Adrian Hodges. Like the original '70s series, the new version will follow the aftermath of a devastating virus that wipes out most of the world's population.

Freema plays Jenny Collins, a "bright and lively" primary school teacher who has tough decisions to make when caring for her dying flatmate Patricia. In the original show, the character took to the road to escape the chaos in the city - and judging by the teaser shots above, it looks as if Freema's Jenny is facing a similarly epic journey.

Survivors airs on BBC One in late Autumn.
