| BBC To Revive Survivors The BBC is considering the remake of a cult science fiction show from the man who invented the Daleks: Terry Nation's Survivors. The BBC said it is in talks with the estate of Mr Nation, a co-creator of Doctor Who, about buying the rights to his 1975 series centred on a post-apocalyptic world peopled by survivors from a devastating plague. The BBC is understood to be hoping to make a new series of six 60-minute episodes. The project is being overseen by inhouse BBC executive producer Sue Hogg. The BBC is not yet at the casting stage for the Survivors series, which would be dependent on the agreement of the Terry Nation estate. The original programme ran for three series and 38 episodes, although Mr Nation left after the first series. He followed up Survivors with his next BBC sci-fi creation, Blake's 7, about a group of criminals on the run from the sinister Terran Federation in a stolen alien spaceship. |
