caddymanHere's an interesting snippet: the BBC are to remake "Survivors".
Hopefully they will make a better job of it than they did with their new Robin Hood which has somehow managed to get itself a second season I see (in fact it's largely been aired, though I only found out about it a couple of weeks ago).
As one of the few people who rather enjoyed Primeval I am not worried that the writers are linked to that series.

Kate Harwood, head of series and serials at BBC Drama Production, said: "The opportunity to remake Survivors for a modern generation proved irresistible.
"After months of negotiations, I am delighted that one of British television's great cult series will return with original stories packed with adventure and spirit set against the backdrop of our own recognisable world."
The new series will be written by Adrian Hodges, who also wrote Ruby In The Smoke, Shadow In The North, Charles II and Primeval, and will be broadcast on BBC One.
