The first trailer for the BBC's remake of the 1970s post-apocalyptic show The Survivors is up, and... it's very pretty. The music and the sort of noodling bits of dialogue make me think this show is going to feature the last survivors of a deadly plague holding hands and maybe putting pieces of fruit in each other's mouths. Even the stuff about wishing you hadn't survived the plague sounds more stoned than sad. But I'm still excited to see the real thing. [SurvivorsBBCTV] More »

Going into Doctor Who withdrawal yet? With the BBC's time-traveling soap opera pretty much taking a year off, and spin-off show Torchwood also doing a shorter season, you're going to need an acceptable Who substitute. So it may be worth looking into The Survivors, the remake of a classic show by Dalek co-creator Terry Nation — and featuring Martha Jones actor Freema Agyeman. The show launches November 22, and we've got loads of details and spoilers below. More »

Will the BBC give the same cheeky soap-opera treatment to its remake of the classic 1970s plague apocalypse show The Survivors that it gave to time-travel adventure show Doctor Who? Maybe, if the recent announcement of cast and characters is anything to go by. The main characters include a lesbian doctor and an Arab playboy, and the soap-operatic possibilities are almost endless. Which could be a good thing, since the original was a bit turgid. More »

When you think about the archetypal science fiction story, chances are you think of the bold explorer, setting foot on a newfound planet in the name of a secure homeworld. But possibly the most pervasive narrative in science fiction is actually the story of refugees. They flee from planetary destruction, war, or just from overcrowding and ecological crappitude. The refugee story is the flipside of the gung-ho explorer story, but it might actually be the most uniquely science fictional story of all. More »
