Spookily, having just seen him in the Dawn of the Gods rewatch, Terry Scully turns up in the episode of Whatever Happened to the Likey Lads that we put on straight after. Wye aye man!

By the way, I was inspired to watch "Survivors" after the discussion on bleakness of Terry Nation's works in one of the rewatch threads (I think?). Season 1 was quite good, but S2 went downhill for me after TN left, I didn't finish it. But I saw Dawn of Gods actor (the heroic one) as a guy with broken leg who ended up in a wheelchair in the later S1. That part was recast with at least 3 actors, am I right? And here we were complaining about Travis 1 and 2.  |

Mrs Underhill -some of the season 3 episodes are the best in the series! Don't miss Last Laugh and Mad Dog, Little Learning. Actor who played Provine seen in Midsommer murders |

Actor who played Provine seen in Midsommer murders Thank you for the tip! When their leading actor started writing episodes about himself in S2, it became unwatchable to me, and I was sad to drop it. S1 was very compelling - I loved The Stand by Stephen King, and later The Walking Dead (until it went on too long and became unwatchable to me too). But now I see that both might have been inspired by Survivors. TN had great ideas. He might not write the best dialogues and cut corners with characters, but his ideas would carry though. Survivors S1 is what B7 might have been without Boucher's brilliant dialogues and without brilliance and charisma of the leading actors, but it still was very gripping. The most striking story for me was the inverse of "Mice and Men" with that rat-like proto-Vila character. Wow, that was a gut punch! So if you vouch for S3 I'll be happy to resume it again. Also, the Captain Leylan actor was in Survivors too. |

S3 uneven, but Mad Dog is a superb piece of tv, and the Ian Mcculloch swansong Last Laugh gives bleak a new tilt...he wrote it too. Law of the Jungle great too, Brian Blessed. Don't watch Power! They lost a story too, Scorched Earth? |

It was labelled as S2 and I skipped the entire S2 after Lights of London (which I thought were very good). So my troubles were with S3. Watching S2 properly now and loving it. Also watched Mad Dog and it was very good. |

And in the film of the series: Judy Buxton/Inga - Blake's father's brother's daughter playing the landlady's daughter. Is the landlady therefore Blake's father's brother's wife?... ...I need one of those beers...  Actually she was a shopgirl but it seemed funnier to make her the landlady's daughter...

That was good, after I watched it all in order. The ending was weak though - but every season there had a weak finale. I wonder if TN staying would've make a difference at least for S1 finale? I thought it was the stupidest way to write out some characters, especially Abbie. But I spotted another one in S3 - Roger Parkes! He had episodes Beachhead and Sparks where the main character was a Headhunter and where the main objective for the heroes was to turn on the power at the hydro-electric plant. Sounds familiar. I read WIKI on Survivors and learned that Terry Nation wrote a novel based on S1 with a different ending - is it worth a read? I'm curious to read for the ending alone. Also the WIKI mentioned another post-ap British show: The Last Train (1999). Watching it now and it's very engrossing. |

I was completely hooked on The Last Train. Have often meant to try a rewatch to see if it lives up to my memory of it. "We're in the centre of a mystical convergence here."

Docholli from Gambit and Carol Royle from Duel in today's episode of Professionals, called I believe, A Stirring of Dust. Typically for the shows it was about a Russian secret agent. |

Mrs Underhill -told you not to watch Power! survivors version, Terence Dudleys fault! Last Laugh amazing- if you google image Pete wallbank last laugh the painting he did for me should come up, he did it as a gift after I died twice during an illness, NO Self Pity, especially poignant. Last Train excellent. Survivors Book worth a read too, stunning ending! Audio version read by Abbie is best, rare sequel too, birth of a hero. |

Poignant story indeed... Thank you for sharing, also thank you for the pointer to the Survivors audio book - will be definitely getting it from Big Finish. Also, finished The Last Train - it was fantastic. A bit let down by the ending but then I must be spoiled by B7 finales. But very vivid, haunting, eery - one of the best post-ap disaster series I've seen. Rip Van Winkle fairy tale waking up in a nightmare. Wow. |

A young Derek Farr in Wanted For Murder (1946). They show some great old films on Talking Pictures.
