BBC Survivors Title Sequence

2012-02-09T20:45:00.002-07:00

Survivors is a British science fiction television series produced by the BBC. It depicts the lives of a group of people who survived a virulent strain of heretofore unknown influenza which has wiped out most of the human race. According to the producers, the series is not a remake of the 1970s BBC television series Survivors (1975–1977), created by Terry Nation, but is loosely based on the novel of the same name that Nation wrote following the first series of the 1970s series. Two series were produced of the new series. Series 1 ran on BBC One and BBC HD in November–December 2008, and series 2 ran in January–February 2010, ending with a cliffhanger. The BBC announced on 13 April 2010 that, due to poor viewing figures and other considerations, Survivors had been cancelled.

Set in the present day, the series focuses on a group of ordinary people who survive the aftermath of a devastating viral pandemic – referred to as "European flu" – which kills most of the world's population due to it causing Cytokine Storms in the body's immune system. The series sees the characters struggling against terrible dangers in a world with no society, no police and no law, led by the de facto matriarch of the group, Abby Grant.

"Although all blood is made of the same basic elements, not all blood is alike. In fact, there are eight different common blood types, which are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens – substances that can trigger an immune response if they are foreign to the body. Since some antigens can trigger a patient's immune system to attack the transfused blood, safe blood transfusions depend on careful blood typing and cross-matching..."

"The most primary of needs is water. In the event that running water is unavailable, you need to have either adequate purified water supplies, or some means to consistently produce water. Without water, you simply cannot survive a prolonged disaster. Of course this requires a source that can not only generate clean water, but can be accessed routinely without traveling great distances. If you live near a fresh water spring, you are already well on the path to being self-sufficient. Most likely, however, you will need to resort to atmospheric water generators, nearby bodies of water, and a high-quality water filtration device."
