About this listen

It begins with just a few people falling ill. Another flu virus that spreads around the globe. And then the reports begin that people are dying....

When most of the world's population is wiped out, a handful of survivors are left to pick up the pieces. Cities become graveyards. Technology becomes largely obsolete. Mankind must start again....

1.1: 'Revelation' by Matt Fitton. When people begin to die of a new strain of a flu virus, newspaper journalists Helen Wiseman and Daniel Connor investigate. They uncover a terrifying story - but will anyone ever get to read it?

1.2: 'Exodus' by Jonathan Morris. Billions of people have died across the globe. Cities are rife with secondary diseases, and the survivors attempt to make their way out of London.

1.3: 'Judges' by Andrew Smith. After a storm wipes out much of their community's supplies, Greg and Jenny go in search of new provisions - much to Abby's disapproval.

1.4: 'Esther' by John Dorney. Greg, Jenny and their new friends are trapped. Will they ever make it out alive?

Note: Survivors contains adult material and is not suitable for younger listeners.

after watching the BBC Series 1 and 2 really enjoyed the tv version, was a little apprehensive about an audio version, glad to say my fears were unfounded.

liked how the story was taken in a different direction but still keeping true to the original ideas. Great having sound effects helped the listerner get into the story and feel apart of the action.
looking forward to series 2 and 3. Still a shame the BBC didn't carry on the survivor's after series 2!!

Loved this, so remember watching on TV. Really felt like the original as well. Have listened to all 3 series on here. Please put more on here, they are incredibly good value. Not sure if they'd be so great at the full price but may eventually give in.

Great show especially if you watched it

As a huge fan of the 70's TV series I was pleased to find this new audiobook series. It's great to hear from Jenny, Abby and Greg. A believable story that ties nicely into the original. As mentioned in at least one review I did have issues hearing certain parts of the audio whilst driving and had to turn the volume up.
Overall I'm more than happy with the story and performance

An interesting concept & great cast, ruined by the worst sound engineering I've ever heard in an audiobook.

Not just some parts being too quiet (some of this was obviously a directorial choice to show people being further away or muffled) but voices clearly not being picked up properly when recorded so no matter how hard you turned it up the words weren't clearly audible.

It's almost like they used really old school microphones that would only record when the actor's mouth was directly in front of them so the sound kept dropping out.

Very disappointing as this was otherwise and interesting production.

Another issue was the choice to use original cast actors in the same roles. A nice idea but rather confusing when you realise a character who sounds like they're in their 50/60s is actually meant to be in their 20/30s.

Also worth bearing in mind is that the last 30 minutes or so of the book is interviews with the cast. They are interesting but it means the book is even shorter than it seems.

If you have an audible account & can get the book for £6 or so it's reasonable but please don't even consider paying the £40 (!!!) they want for it. I don't see ago they could justify that for a 4 hour book even if everything else were perfect!

Brilliant cast, terrible sound engineering

A welcome way into, Terry Nation's nightmare world through the folks at Big Finish. Fast, and haunting with a real feel of the first series of the TV show, A wonderful reintroduction to Survivors, lifting the lid on just a couple of the millions of stories that died in the plague. With a brilliant script and stellar work from the cast, a must listen for those who like a look behind the curtain of what if, or a glimpse into a possible future.

Terror from another angle
