As previously reported, the DVD box sets of Survivors Series One and Two have been delayed. However, due to transmission delays (bad weather and football!) this date has now been delayed even further to 1st March 2010. This new date ensures that all of the episodes from Series Two have aired on UK TV.

Details of the box sets are on the Survivors DVD page and the DVD's are available for pre-order\order through our Online Shop

The BBC America web site has launched a Survivors mini-site ahead of the premiere of episode one of series one in the US on Friday 13 February 2010.

The mini-site includes: a guide to show and its characters; an episode guide; video previews (multimedia content is only viewable from within the US); photo galleries; a viewers’ forum; and more.

BBC America will show all six episodes of series one and immediately follow them with the six episodes of series two.

The BBC America Survivors website is here.

As previously reported, the Survivors Series Two DVD box set is to be released in February 2010. The release date however, has changed from the originally proposed 8th February to 22nd February 2010 (a day before the last episode of S2 is aired in the UK) and there is to be a double box set containing both Series One and Series Two.

Details of the box sets are on the Survivors DVD page and the DVD's are available for pre-order\order through our Online Shop.

BBC America have a section of their US-based website for Survivors Fans.

The Survivors pages are here.

Our friends at Total Sci-Fi Online have interviewed one of the producers of Survivors, Hugh Warren.

In the interview, Hugh talks about the second series of Survivors and sets the scene for the return of the post-apocalyptic show.

The interview is here and was conducted by Paul Simpson.

All six episodes of series two of Survivors will be available for streaming (or time-limited download) on the BBC iPlayer service. Rather than the standard seven-day access to a single episode (after which a new episode replaces the previous one) the entire series will be ’stacked’ on the iPlayer, with each new episode joining those already available (until a week after the last episode is shown, at which point all six episodes will be withdrawn from the iPlayer).

The service currently indicates that episode one of Survivors series two will be available until 23 February (which would have been a week after episode six had broadcast). With a two-week gap now separating the broadcast of episodes one and two, it is certain that this date will be revised – meaning that episodes will be available until 2 March 2010.

Please note: access to programme content on the iPlayer service is only available in the UK

In an interview on the Digital Spy website, Survivors actor Paterson Joseph (Greg) suggests that series two will conclude with a ‘monumental’ finale, as key storylines play out in episodes five and six.

Please note that the interview contains significant ***SPOILERS*** concerning end-of-series-two plot developments.

Survivors: Hope Never Dies

Ian Wylie
January 11, 2010

“HOPE never dies,” says the postcard in the reception area of The Midland Hotel.

If 99 per cent of the world’s population had been killed by a flu virus, would there be hope for you? Would you help others, or grab a gun?

Those questions continue in the second series of hit TV drama Survivors, which returns tomorrow night in the wake of the real life swine flu pandemic.

The fictional story so far: Food and water are in short supply, with no electricity, gas, communications, medical care, police or government.

The BBC News website has an interview with Julie Graham (Abby) aboyt the second series, which begins:

Survivors cast survive swine flu

By Tim Masters
Entertainment correspondent, BBC News

The post-apocalyptic drama Survivors returns this week, with the cast and crew counting themselves fortunate that 2009's swine flu outbreak didn't wreck the making of the second series.

"Amazingly, we were filming in the Midlands where all the swine flu was happening," says actress Julie Graham, who plays the heroine Abby Grant.

And finally, showbiz and television website Digital Spy features an interview with Zoë as part of their Survivors Interview series

First we gave you Nicholas Gleaves, then we offered up Robyn Addison, and now we present to you... Zoe Tapper!

Tapper's alter-ego Anya was last seen toying with Tom (cue death stares from Sarah), skirting around her somewhat ambiguous sexuality and generally playing nurse to the walking wounded. But what's in store for her in series two? What are you waiting for?
