Freeholder Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 anyone remember the original? Yes. Had a prime early evening slot. Late 1960s or early 1970s. Rather lost its way in the plot department as it went on. Quote
Beggar Thy Children Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) Anyone remember a series in the late 90's, similar sort of thing called The Train? Edit: The Last Train Edited November 23, 2008 by I_crap_in_the_woods Quote

ccc Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Please let the above scenario appear during this show !! Quote
Mega Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I remember the 70's version..................God it was CRAP! They had a farm, with a mill...............didn't it occur to them to wire up an eletric motor..................perhaps a bit of dam work and they have power. Bio-diesel=transport=tractors..........we be back to 125% home loans in no time! At lest (as i recall) they had an engineer in the 70's version.............useful............in this one i bet he is a software engineer.......willing to work for £60 an hour.......NOT useful!!!!

Tony2007 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) 'Predictive programming' or 'seeding consciousness' in metaphysical terms. http://thecleaver.blogspot.com/2008/05/dem...nist-power.html Exert: The phenomenon of ‘predictive programming’ is heavily used on the screen. It presents and acclimatizes the public with new ideas and trends. Usually put forward in a fictional context (to circumvent issues of consent or morality), many of the events, technologies and social attitudes dipped into the collective consciousness are in fact already in the pipeline. Taking this one step further, I propose that the screen actually seeds the imagination to manifest a pre-determined reality. Far from being the trivial plaything we are told it is, the imagination is a highly developed, super powerful holographic processor. It illustrates, energizes and manifests the world around us, whether we acknowledge it or not. It is the portal through which the universal field condenses thoughtforms into matter. The imagination directly formulates our experience of reality, as strongly now as it did when we were five years old. For this reason, it is imperative that we choose carefully what we put into our minds. Edited November 23, 2008 by Tony2007 Quote

Mike Well so far this one has a Muslim, a lesbian and a Jock !! Rather PC line up.... Well except for the raging psychopathic killer. Quote
geordieskin Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 watching this now, not much change from the '70's version, as then working class are either criminals or simple, loads of plot holes,only 6 eps. long this time! Quote

juvenal Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Twatmagle - that is one fantastic picture. The look of resignation on the cat's face says it's lived all of its nine lives under the Labour cosh. The man is Everyman - almost Christlike in his simplicity (or something) I salute a masterpiece.

shippers Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I think if there's a subtle propaganda message underneath it, it's a re-education into the new austerity. Oversell the down side, so people will feel relieved when things don't get quite as bas, whilst pushing messages about people looking after each other. Funny how Spooks is selling that a banking crisis is the fault of geopolitics by the Russian Mafia, and in a deeper sense by a more arguably ethical standpoint by a Czech socialist. Good diversionary tactics away for the homeowning aspirational "everyman for himself" consumerist society that actually really got us into this mess. Quote
davidg Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 anyone remember the original? Yes, so far this has been 80% the same plot and dialogue but they are telescoping 13 episodes into 6. They claim only that it is "inspired by" but it is very similar. I like the NuLabour style black health minister "we've not lost control, we are doing the right thing, no cause for alarm, power and water will be restored shortly, problem started in Europe, helping hard working families etc". Interesting she played the role of NuLabor health minister in casualty last year. Greg Preston was an oil engineer in the '75 verson I seem to recall. I thought the original survivors was crap, but on rewatching it, it raised a lot of questions and although slow paced is actually quite good. The towns and cities would be uninhabitable and wild dogs would be a problem, pet dogs are bad enough now. Terry Nation did the script of the original survivors, he did a lot of the better Dr Who episodes which were incredibly political back in the day. Quote
The Spaniard Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Yes, so far this has been 80% the same plot and dialogue but they are telescoping 13 episodes into 6. Conditioning us for deflation. Quote
Mega Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 There is Talk of "Blakes 7" return. Mike Quote
Mega Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Servalan is played by Darling Blake by DC Avon By Dave Davies Villa by Osboune! Mike Quote
@contradevian Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Terry Nation did the script of the original survivors, he did a lot of the better Dr Who episodes which were incredibly political back in the day. Terry Nation was very busy in the 60's on telly and film scripts. He also created the Daleks which are still a nice little earner for the Terry Nation Estate. Also noted some of the Doctor Who cast in the new episode of Survivors. Quote
Macbeth Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Servalan is played by Darling What on earth? are you some kind of gayer? If its politicians, Servalan should surely be Ukraines PM Юлія Володимирівна Тимошенко The Galactic Supreme Emperess Tymoshenko Bliss! Alastair Darling? FFS.. Gay! Quote

juvenal Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 You can blame MTV for speeding up every tv programme since. Quote
