hi michelle,think i saw the final series about 77?

[Ace]

Yes, I remember this gem, especially the intro where that dopey bastard scientist that drops the test tube taht releases the virus.

Which episode had the sniper killing off the women and it turns out to be a female shooter who wanted the men all for herself?

[Michelle]

LOL Yes

I can Imagine it being shown in the 1970's how people felt seeing it, Esp with the cold war etc.

Created by the great Terry Nation, and touched on issues that were uncomfortable for the time.

Could be criticised as following the John Wyndham "cosy catastrophe" school of writing at times. But also had some harrowing moments.

terry also wrote a few avengers episodes too.

Not as good as Survivors but quite a trailblazer.

I'm searching for a video release, I know it was out on VHS because I've got 2 episodes. There was a movie spinoff as well. Btw, does that still happen?
