The Best TV programme ever made .. intelligent, thought-provoking, great acting, and so real characters.. the only TV show made (then) that had no incidental music.. a tour de force in storytelling, a whole world to immerse yourself into, and worryingly, its probably more poignant now than when it was made. none better.
Thanks for posting this outstanding series, my brother and myself have enjoyed re-watching it. No criticism of the remake but the BBC are incapable of coming up with an ORIGINAL idea like this again. It just shows that drama, suspense and a gripping viewer experience doesn't depend on trigger happy law enforcers or special effects but on good story lines and strong characters. Thanks again for taking the time to upload this gem of TV history it has been appreciated greatly.
Great series,made on location around malvern and ross on wye during winter early 75.New series made in the summer and no depth about how society starts over,but its well acted.

Why did most actors in BBC dramas in the seventies talk with upper middle class accents?

@Glenn1967ful cos they all went to posh drama schools and got taught to speak like that!

Terry Nation is probably without a doubt one of my all-time favorite writers.

This is a great series - for us non-Brits, we'll over look the accents! Thanks!

This is an excellent series if you overlook the excessively home counties accents.
