Well, the year is nearly over . . . but will the Survivors make it into next year?
And if they do, will anyone care?
We left them with Greg suffering from a potentially fatal gunshot wound and Abbey abducted. And a teasing glimpse of a kid called Peter Grant.
The original series had Greg Preston as a dynamic, resourceful man who had vision and control, until forced to abdicate due to illness. This one had him as dynamic and resourceful and always spouting on about his plan, which never materialised. Instead of getting organised and on with it he always prevaricated - and look where it got him.
Abbey, having accepted Naj as a surrogate Peter, looks set to be distracted again when the new Peter makes himself known. Or is it another ringer? Who happens to have the same name.
Tom has fallen out with Sarah, the insipid slut, but has done so little about it that he must be vying to be the new Greg. Assuming the old one doesn't recover. I bet Paterson Joseph is hoping not . . .
Dexter, newly promoted from incompetant thug to Official Government Incompetant Thug, celebrated by pissing Tom off. Tom in turn proved to be a lousy shot (but with a shotgun not intented for distant single targets) but remains close-combat champion of the series.
One is still left with the feeling that the whole sorry ensemble will return unscathed. Unless the viewers have turned out to envy the dead.
