currently planned, the release of <em>New Dawn 4<\/em> brings to an end <em>Survivors<\/em> life as an audio drama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Survivors: A World Away<\/em> site has tracked the development of this unique strand of <em>Survivors<\/em> fiction since the release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/big-finish-survivors\/index_episodes_series_one.php\">first box set<\/a> back in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of nine years, this site has published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/big-finish-survivors\/index_episodes.php\">synopses and reviews<\/a> of all 36 episodes in the nine series original run of <em>Survivors<\/em> audios, of three <em>Survivors<\/em> audiobooks, and all twelve episodes in the four box sets of the <em>New

href=\"https:\/\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/big-finish-survivors\/cast_carolyn_seymour_series_two.php\">Carolyn Seymour<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/big-finish-survivors\/cast_lucy_fleming.php\">Lucy Fleming<\/a>, <a

many of which have also been published on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the site itself, the editor has published <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"

phase in their own journey as listeners, many of whom have followed the series from series one released back in 2014, come to the end of theirs. It&#8217;s been a remarkable, often unsettling, and always compelling series made by a creative team who have shown time and again their determination to grasp the full dramatic potential of Terry Nation&#8217;s inspired original premise.<\/p>\n<cite>Survivors: A World Away<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"5132\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/2023\/11\/12\/survivors-new-dawn-4-episode-reviews-published\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?fit=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-1-survivors-revelation-l\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?fit=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.survivors-mad-dog.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1-survivors-revelation-l.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REVIEWS OF ALBION, Fallout and Requiem, the final three episodes of the Survivors: New Dawn audio range have now been published on the Big Finish Survivors section of the Survivors: A World Away site.
