\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A FOUR-PAGE FEATURE on Survivors<\/em>, that includes comments from Carolyn Seymour, Lucy Fleming and Ian McCulloch, appears in the November issue of SFX <\/em>magazine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Steve O’Brien, who’s recently published articles on the 2008-10 Survivors<\/em> remake in The Guardian<\/a> <\/em>and SFX<\/a><\/em>, the piece attempts to summarise the history of the original series forty-five years on from its original transmission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with a reasonable knowledge of Survivors<\/em> won’t learn much that’s new from the feature, which includes several familiar anecdotes and quotations. There is a tiny bit more on Seymour’s departure from the show, on Terry Nation’s relationship with Terry Dudley, and on McCulloch’s abortive remake attempt, but no major new insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Brien does introduce what might be a new example of the third journalistic faux pas <\/em>listed in the How to Annoy a Survivors Fan<\/a> spotter’s guide (‘Make lazy, repetitive and ill-informed comparisons between\u00a0Survivors<\/em>\u00a0and other shows’) . He describes the Whitecross era as pulling the series ‘more in the direction of Countryfile<\/em> than Mad Max<\/em>.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a short interview with David Richardson, the producer of the Big Finish Survivors<\/em> audio range confirms that there are currently no plans for further instalments. With Big Finish’s run of full-cast Survivors <\/em>audios<\/a> coming to an end with the ninth series<\/a>, there were some hopes that the show might continue on audio in the form of single-voice audio books – a transition that some other properties in the Big Finish range have made. That possibility now appears to be ruled out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
