Yes, thanks to that virus carrying off over 90% of the population, they can now use electricity and not have to mortgage their lives to pay for it. https://youtu.be/1btEMh9XJHc Finally, now Greg has popped his clogs, they reach Scotland - to try to switch on the electricity supply to the surviving populace - only to find that the scary man from Children of the Stones is laying claim to ownership of the electricity. Actually, he is the scary man in a lot of shows in the 70s. Now that is power. Plus, Sam the rat is probably going to do some sabotage. It'll end badly for someone... We may get an answer to the question: how did 150,000 Scottish people survive the plague? Note of interest: Paul...Jenny and Greg's son - remember him? - is 'played' by one of Lucy Fleming's own sons. Also appearing besides Iain 'scary man' Cuthbertson: Barry Stokes who appeared in many of my fave 70s shows - Doomwatch, UFO & Space 1999. Well, this is IT. The final front...no, wrong show...the final episode. 45 years ago in June 1977 the 38th and final episode was shown. Did it fall or was it pushed? Did any show we have heard of ever come to a proper finish....?  Join us, if you dare, for the end: Wednesday 5th October 7.45pm Edited by OneSparePart on 05-10-2022 18:43 Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Hey Alec the Scots man said "brekfast". Scottish people possibly say "break fast". Just being picky.

Well they obviously didn"t think it was going to end. Pity. I'd have liked to see Iain Cuthbettson flinging his weight around in S4.

That was a strange ending. Sure they have power- so life goes on? I'd have wanted to see the main group home and thriving I guess.

Yes, you are correct. It was all set up for another series. That's why it didn't have a definitive ending.

Well, this ending is going to bother me all day. Sure they got the power back on and the railways going but still- it's a long climb from that still. They could have gone a few more series but alas, it didn't happen. It was so enjoyable to have you watching with me. Thanks for all the great comments and humor. 'Night.

When we started this, I was a bit gloomy about it. My memories of watching Survivors were really dark and depressing. But I have actually really enjoyed watching it...and in great company too.
