Why is this chap still in a suit? looks a bit formal. He clings on his formal clothing for stability now that the world around him broke down. It's all he has left. hmm yes.. kinda sad to think about. he is a bit cracked, poor chap. too long on his own perhaps. |

I wouldn't go anywhere without a blunt instrument at least.... I'm not sure I'd want to wander about anywhere as a lone woman, sad to say. |

Review from a previous rewatch: (1.5) “Gone To The Angels” by Jack Ronder Directed by Gerald Blake The remarkable consistency of the first season continues, with what is quite a grim story. It starts with Abby on a downer. We return to the Railway Station and the School, and the presence of a School Mini-Bus briefly raises Abby’s hopes only for them to then to be crushed again. This time, it seems to hit her quite hard. The shock had yet to hit Abby in “The Fourth Horseman”, where she chats away with Bronson (the deaf teacher) quite merrily shortly after waking up and finding everyone dead. Now a few months on, she’s finding it hard. Even a blossoming flower can leave her emotional. In the meantime, Greg and Jenny encounter John and Lizzie. They see the Death from quite a different perspective – from that of a child. It could have unbalanced the whole series bringing in child regulars, but instead it adds another dimension to it. It’s a nasty world which is now out there, but children are still children in their behaviour. It’s another sign of life moving on, no matter how difficult. There are several aspects to this story (quite often we have an A Plot and a B Plot in Survivors). Firstly, there’s Peter Miles putting in a wonderful performance as the slightly nutty Lincoln. He just can’t cope with the new world at all. He doesn’t have anyone and desperately needs company. In some ways, he’s not totally unlike Jenny was three episodes ago, although she wasn’t nearly as unhinged. Unfortunately, it’s his lack of balance which makes it impossible for them to take him on, he could shoot them at any moment, just as he accidentally shoots Greg earlier on. It’s in this episode, after the hints of the previous week, that Greg and Jenny get it on. While this is happening, Abby encounters the Angels, three religious men who live a remote life. Religion is sometimes abused by those seeking power, but these men are totally harmless. When the rest of the gang catch up, Matthew, in particular, proves that he is great with kids. But then we notice him reaching under his arm pit - it’s a real Oh No!!!! moment. The Angels have caught the Death. It’s here we realise that the Death is impossible to escape. You can’t run away from it, because the moment you come into contact with a carrier, you catch it as well. So eventually everyone is subjected to the 1 in 5000 (or so) chance mentioned in the previous episode; no country will have escaped. This confirms what Bronson said in the first episode – he was a radio ham who had found it had gone quiet all around the whole world. There leads to a tragic scene. We’d seen Matthew playing with Lizzie, pretending to be asleep. The scene is visited with Lizzie again approaching Matthew. But this time he doesn’t wake up. He’s dead. Some fantastic acting in this scene by young Tanya Ronder, the daughter or writer Jack Ronder. The death has affected the younger John is a slightly more troublesome way. His “You’ll be dead soon, goodbye” followed by a smile suggests this young lad has been slightly warped by seeing so much death around him at an early age. Not surprisingly, Abby is rather affected by having “killed” the Angels. The closing scene suggests that John and Lizzie will be a positive influence on the group, as they just want to play, therefore giving Abby a purpose at a time she might have just collapsed. I did have this down as one of the weaker scripts from Season 1, but watching again, I think it’s yet another strong episode. TT Og heads out of ten:
