A NEW BOOK scrutinising in detail the first thirteen episodes of Survivors is published today (17 April).
Survivors: The classic post-apocalyptic BBC series / Series one / 1975 thoroughly documents the genesis of the series, goes behind-the-scenes on the making of series one, and brings together the memories of key cast and crew members.
The book also offers comprehensive reviews of each episode, a photographic showcase of key filming locations, and explores how Terry Nation’s 1976 Survivors novel secured an extended life in print and on audio.
Any and all profits from sales, once printing and distribution costs are covered, will be donated to the international medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières who ‘act fast to save lives in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics’.
Two further volumes, offering a critical history of series two and series three of Survivors, will follow. Work on both titles is already progressing.
This first book is available to buy from online retailers including Blackwells and Waterstones in UK, and can be ordered through any bookshop (by quoting the ISBN 9781919386300).
