LUCY FLEMING (JENNY Richards) reflects on her experience working on Survivors in a profile feature in today’s Sunday Telegraph (26 April 2026).
As part of a longer consideration of her career on stage, on screen and on radio, Fleming recalls working on Survivors in the 1970s. Amongst other reflections, she notes that Survivors:
had a good cast: Ian McCulloch, Denis Lill, Carolyn Seymour… We filmed in the mud and the wind and the rain, mostly through the winter. The scripts, I think, varied in the second and third series. But one was getting recognised, which was interesting… I could ride, I was always asking to get on horseback, but it wasn’t until later that I was allowed to.
The main hooks for the piece is Fleming’s work on The Archers radio serial, her shared responsibility for the management and licensing of Ian Fleming’s estate, and her relationship with her mother Celia Johnson.
