Big Finish has announced (16 January 2017) that Julie Graham, who played the role of Abby Grant in the BBC’s 2008-2010 remake of Survivors<\/em>, joins the cast for an episode of series six of new Survivors<\/em> audio adventures. In the story “Revenge of Heaven”, written by Simon Clark, Graham takes on the role of Katherine Tanner in a standalone story that focuses on Greg Preston’s (Ian McCulloch) eventful trip to Norway. <\/p>\n

Series six of Survivors<\/em> audio adventures will be released in June 2017, and is available for pre-order<\/a> on the Big Finish site. In December 2016, the company confirmed its commitment<\/a> to releasing (at a minimum) nine series of Survivors<\/em> audios.<\/p>\n

Survivors – series six news<\/h3>\n

Coming in June, Survivors – Series 6<\/a> is the next of Big Finish’s listener-praised audio continuation of Terry Nation<\/strong>‘s 1970s BBC TV show:<\/p>\n

“We’re trying something a little different this time,” confirms producer David Richardson<\/strong>, “Each disc is a separate, self-contained story – and I think it\u2019s working beautifully. Set during the third season of the TV show, it allows us to focus individually on our leads Abby (Carolyn Seymour<\/strong>), Greg (Ian McCulloch<\/strong>) and Jenny (Lucy Fleming<\/strong>). Separated geographically, they each face different challenges. But might their paths finally cross again?”<\/p>\n

Of particular note in the forthcoming set to Survivors<\/strong> fans is a particular casting. As David explains: “I’ve wanted to work with Julie Graham<\/strong> for ages, and in Simon Clark<\/strong>‘s Revenge of Heaven<\/em> we had the perfect role for her – Katherine Tanner, an adventurer who helps Greg Preston on his mission in Norway. Needless to say, Julie was fantastic in the part, and it was lovely to sit and chat to her about playing Abby Grant in the re-imagined BBC TV series of Survivors<\/strong>. The show is clearly still very close to her heart.”<\/p>\n

Survivors Series 6<\/a> is released in June on Download for \u00a320 and CD for \u00a325 – both pre-release prices offering a \u00a35 discount on the price when the set goes on general release later in the year. A CD order automatically unlocks digital access on release.<\/p>\n

Check out the entire Survivors range<\/a>, including the chance for pre-orders on Series 6 through to Series 9<\/a>, and to catch up with the first five sets<\/a>, as well as listening to Carolyn Seymour<\/strong>‘s evocative reading of Terry Nation’s original novel<\/a>. There’s even a free episode – Series 1’s Survivors – Revelation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
