Survivors 1975

[Wiltinglillies]

DH decided this was perfect viewing for this evening. WIBU not to have just gone straight to bed.

Apparently Contagion is top of iTunes list. Or at least it was the other day.

Willow and Mister there is an alternative ending to I am Legend that's more upbeat (crap, and makes no sense but more upbeat)

We need a remake of The Walking Dead, with the Zombies staggering down the road, arms out, all whispering, toilet roll...

Film channel are showing Alien Covenant and Prometheus this week, if you want to mess with your minds as to what infection is!

Disclaimer - I am taking no responsibility if you are left gibbering in the corner after watching them with your brains dripping out your ears!

(crap, and makes no sense but more upbeat)
in that cse I think I will pss

Pass! My 'a' on my keyboard is playing up!

Willow probably wise. Maybe we should read the original book instead as it's apparently superior to all.

Where was your DH watching OP?
It's just YouTube. We have it on the TV. Bad quality but watchable.

Apparently Contagion is top of iTunes list. Or at least it was the other day.
It's not just my amusingly warped DH then!
I was surprised by how watching Survivors really calmed me down. First decent night of sleep in weeks.

I'll have to watch it all to find out what has happened to the son. The remake, that I did watch was, as someone else mentioned, scrapped, so we never did find out.

Thanks for reminding me about Doomwatch, DG
I had forgotten that
It was superb

Yes, iirc, none of these epidemic / apocalyptic TV series twigged the importance of loo rolls

I remember watching Survivors, with my parents, as a teenager. It seemed very scary and yet far fetched then.

Contagion is on Thursday night on Itv2.
I have it set to record. I'm not sure why.

I have the DVD set of Doomwatch. Used to have to beg to stay up and watch the killer rats and melting aircraft.

It's a 1970s time capsule alright, complete with sexism that will make you gasp, and so much innuendo that went right over my little head at the time.

Anyone remember 1990 with Edward Woodward in a world of 2CVs (oh, the irony ...)

We have Survivors box set, just put the first episode on last week to remind ourselves of the intro, having come up in conversation. Of course we are now hooked on it. Very odd to be watching it with everything going on now, though some of the ‘science’ is a bit woolly and the ‘special effects’ are of their era.

Quality TV. How scary is the welsh tramp.
Best TV intro ever IMHO, conveyed everything you need to know and awesome music.

And "Threads" of course. Absolutely made me justified in my teen panic about cold war. If you want to be really freaked out google "Protect and Survive" to watch the public info films we were subjected to. Those door against the wall shelters would be fuck all use!

Fuck me. As a child of the 80s there's no way I'd ever watch threads again!
