I decided to rewatch Seventies post-apocalyptic gloom-fest Survivors well in advance of the remake. It's over a decade since I watched it and it's rather good. Bleak as hell, mind you. I'm particularly enjoying how the only people to get through the plague are nutcases, survivalists, and British character actors. Look! Peter Miles! George Baker!

At least that makes it a more interesting lot than would survive if it were remade by the Americans...

There'd be someone called Jack or John struggling to establish his hero status.

True.

BTW, can I ask a quick question? I mentioned the B7 haikus in a reply to a post the other day, and would like to point people towards them (I went back and read, and I still love many of them :) Is it okay with you if I put up a post to do this?

Sure! That's what they're online for! I'm chuffed you remember them! :-D

I have a very selective memory... but don't ask me where I left my shoes/keys/wallet/life two hours ago :(
