BBC Drama Productions has acquired the rights from the Terry Nation Estate to develop the Seventies drama series Survivors, it was announced today by Jane Tranter, BBC Controller, Fiction.
Set in the present day, the new series will be written by Adrian Hodges (Ruby In The Smoke, Shadow In The North, Charles II and Primeval) for transmission on BBC One.
Survivors was one depressing TV show, but it will be interesting to see how they remake it.
(I wonder if the catastrophe that wipes out humanity will be tied to global warming or islamic terrorists? It’s got to be one of the two. No writer worth his cliched salt could pass up both of those!)
