I sent that opening title sequence to everyone when the C19 nonsense kicked off :) That series is what steered me away from the Capitalist Drone life-arc and set me towards being ready for there not to be a working civilisation anymore. Sadly, time is one heck of a grinding wheel and, tho' the mind knows what is necessary, now I am too old to make it once the wheels come off.

My brother ...RIP ......love seeing this ❤

I was very young when this was on TV....I remember it was very depressing....the opening credits were so ominous

Over what period of time are people killed off. Does it happen over night, a week ?

This programme wouldn't be allowed to be re-shown, not enough ethnic, gays or obese extras. BBC was never really on 'our side'.

I thought about this series and the remake when the country started to close down 4 years ago. Thankfully it was never as bad as Survivors, but the disease spreading from the Far East and being some new virus had parallels.

I'll never forget that laugh and cheeky face ♡

RIP Mark, you will be sooo missed. I remember his orange coat! Great video thanks x

❤️

RIP Mark.

I saw CJ in this at the pool. truly inspiring

This really changed my life. Ws in the chat boys

We watch the full series at Christmas every year. Survivors taught us what not to do.

I read this was due for a re airing in the time in 2018 /19 and then came COVID can you imagine if this was shown during lockdown?

So crazy

Survivors started good but then became a soap opera.

Difference is this depicted a real pandemic..

Just about remember it as a kid and have the complete boxset now and watching it again for the second time, brilliant that it's set in the UK very realistic scenarios

Covid prediction my arse. it's a good series (rubbish BBC remake later - but no surprises there...) but Covid prediction - nope. Covid isn't man made for a start (despite what looney conspiracy theorists might claim)

So anyone remember the 1984 series Threads

I know this series from the seventies. Now the reality in 2022 has turned out to be even worse. I thought not because of the same amount of deaths but because of the shortcomings in human society.

GREAT WORK

The origin of the virus was and is in China!

Hello Road Gent and thanks for the 'Knob' at the end of your post. It did make me laugh. I haven't heard that for years. In my world best mates call each other 'C**t' so I am not at all offended. So of course this series didn't exactly predict every single detail of the Covid pandemic correctly - that would be uncannily weird, but in case it was lost on you, my parallels are these. It was a virus, originating in China and of course there are continuing real life investigations in to the possibility of it originating from a lab in Wuhan, a concept reflected in the shows title sequence. It is quickly transmitted globally via air travel. This happened with Covid and resulted in the near shut down of the Airline industry when national border lockdowns happened. The hospitals are, to quote the doctor 'Snowed under' with 'Staff going down with it as fast as the patients.' This continues to be the case. Jen, the female character in the hospital mistakes it for the flu and the doctor points out that it is not the flu ( In real life there were people saying 'It's no worse than the flu - why are we suddenly having lockdowns and self isolation? ) People can be asymptomatic carriers unknowingly infecting other people reflected in the scene "You brought some illness with you." Jen - "We were all well." M "You were carrying it." The reality of this resulted in social distancing and mask mandates. In real life, people were panic buying food, leaving shelves empty and in the show, it wasn't that the shelves were or weren't actually empty it was that the character who confronts our 'Survivors' addresses this with his talk ending with "It's a question of conserving. Sharing out properly". Or it's a case of "I'm alright Jack while other people are starving." In the last clip Peter Bowls discusses with his wife taking their child out of school and of course we had a complete closure of schools in real life. As for queues for injections ,I was in pretty long queues for my first two jabs. Finally, I don't think my title and description were unnecessarily 'Click-baity' or going to scare anybody more than the government and media were already doing and I stand by it. Besides, click-bait titles are just a standard thing on RUclips and across the Internet so get over it! Clearly with only 81 subscribers I don't take this channel very seriously. I post very infrequently. I think my kids have more subscribers than I do on their channels. Peace and love.

In the tv series 99.98% of the population die (1 person in 5000 survives), the opposite of Covid in terms of mortality. Queues in hospitals to get an injection - that didn't happen. The supermarket scene still full of goods due to everyone dying. How are these predicted events "happening right now" (Mar 2020)?? Seems to me you were more interested in scaring people and upping on your usual view count. Knob.

I watched a few episodes of this on TV as a kid, scary as. Notice there's no masks or protection in the hospital!

Great show but a year later & nothing mirrors this show except covid is serious. Nice try

By the way I watched most of it at 8yrs old!

Excelent video!!!! good job

Hardly the same thing. This was about an unsurvivable virus where only a handful of people living rurally didn't catch it.

I watched this when I was 10yrs old... I too remember this Immediately when Covid struck.

Note, in both versions of this show, the doctors don't wear masks or use gloves or other means to protect them from this supposed "flu virus" (as they call it). Also, it appears to be a severe version of bubonic plague, so why weren't they using plague vaccines and antibiotics? Why didn't anybody twig that flu vaccines aren't designed to fight the plague? EDIT: And why has the doctor got his hands all over the main character and standing right in her face, wouldn't he be staying back and telling her to get out of there?

I remember watching this as a kid and as a matter of fact when covid broke out last year I thought back to this series thinking how canny and similar it was to the origins of this one, spooky stuff.

Prophetic !

Never saw the original but am watching the remake. With most people dead electricity would turn off. Biggest challenge would be surviving without any electricity. Generators will be useful but eventually gasoline would also run out

the virus in this series has the same thing in common with Covid - they BOTH started in China.

All I remember was this w we lah bloke driving a roller, nonces it kills a young girl, the retard Barney or whatever his name is gets the blame and someone dies, remember them wanting to put a phone line down and that was it. Fast forward to the newer version and they can it with no more series ffs!

I didn't know about this programme at all. I was only five at the time and far more interested in Play School and my toys. Little did we know that this scenario would become reality in the future!

We need to get rid of those terrapins 🐢

They should have had a private screening of this in the first COBRA meeting

When I was a boy and used to watch this drama I said too myself one day if people are not careful about tampering with nature this is really going to happen in 50 years time and now were living it and my words have come true and wipe us all out all over the world

I used to come home from school and watch this drama survivor

Creepy... Also check The Invasion with Nicole Kidman...2007. Or The Patriot with Steven Seagal..

I have never forgotten this series and think about it every time there is a pandemic scare. It had quite a good look at a crumbled, paranoid society -- the frayed remnants of a modern civilization. I was 17 when the show first aired.

95% of the human race was wiped out. Hardly anaccurate predicrtion.

How freaky is this... I remember when as a 12 year old kid, hebeejeebees.

I absolutely loved Survivors. It was created by Terry Nation, who also created Dr Who. I was 15 in 1975. I’m 28 now. How time flies!

I was only 9 or 10 when Survivors first on telly, I can remember it being on but not any of the storylines. So... how excited to see all three series, all thirty-six episodes, listed on BritBox - just finished a bingewatch over a month or so! Yeah, some of the similarities with the Covid pandemic are quite spooky, the writing team clearly had medical experts to advise them. One similarity not included in these clips is the London variant strain, much like we’re seeing in various places around the globe. The acting is pretty terrible (even with the help of a few recognisable faces, eg Brian Blessed) but that helps keep it light, easy to digest while I did the washing up 👏🏻

I watched this series on tv back in the 70’s, when Covid happened in 2020 I immediately remembered it
