A FIVE-STAR REVIEW of the eighth series of Big Finish’s Survivors audios, written by the editor of the Survivors: A World Away site, has been posted on Cultbox.

The review explores some of the distinctive elements of this penultimate series in the current Survivors audio run:

As well as introducing a key new protagonist whose fate becomes entangled with Abby Grant’s and Jenny Richards’ own, series eight also makes good on the much-trailed reunion between Abby and the son she has been searching for since the outbreak of The Death some four years earlier: Peter Grant. It’s a gambit that pays off brilliantly, with each of the four stories offering fresh perspectives on the world that the survivors of Britain now inhabit – as the plague recedes into recent history.

After revisiting the storylines and the in-studio realisation of each of the four episodes, the review concludes by acknowledging the sense of anticipation that now surrounds the upcoming finale.

With series nine confirmed as the end of the line for the current run of Survivors audios, Big Finish can focus on delivering a fitting final reckoning for what is indisputably one of the most compelling, insightful and thought-provoking audio series that the company has yet produced.

The ninth and final series of Big Finish’s full-cast Survivors audios is released in June 2019 and is available to pre-order in both download and CD formats, direct from the Big Finish web site.
