I've got it on one of my Amazon wishlists, but it's going for $147!<br /><br />The second season of the revamped Survivors was not horrible. The Abby Grant character got a lot less screechy. That said, I can't say I was sorry to hear that it'd been cancelled.Gil Trevizohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141881186992459537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311355202235083120.post-61039047163626300112010-05-07T02:10:04.236-07:002010-05-07T02:10:04.236-07:00Survivors ( the second version) isn't so bad, ...Survivors ( the second version) isn't so bad, mainly thanks to the sociopathis AND grimly realistic character. Do rest assured that yobs with Elmer Fudd games do get their come-uppance in the end. i had seen some episodes of the 1970's version as a kid in GB ( visiting from France) and been haunted by such unusual fare ( at the time). the second version ( two seasons now) isn't bad at all, even if the main female charcater makes me cringe. last thing: the novelisation was brilliant, with an edning that reverberates thirty something years on. There was also a follow-up, by terry nation I think, and believe me, it was quite good, as post-apo books go. If you can find it ( sorry, it's locked in an old trunk and I don't have the name, but I guess the author is the same), it was quite good. better than Lucifer's Hammer, if I recall correctly, and that was a landmark to the adolescent I was thenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342797534592612393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311355202235083120.post-27154607244805701172008-11-26T13:59:00.000-08:002008-11-26T13:59:00.000-08:00For reasons best known to itself, GK Films is rema...For reasons best known to itself, GK Films is remaking the 1985 BBC series "Edge of Darkness" with Mel Gibson in the lead:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226273/" REL="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226273/</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
