With more and more days like this stretching before us (if those in the high risk group are being advised to stay in for three months I reckon that’s at least how long we’ll all be affected), I’ll be looking through my collection of old TV series in the coming weeks. One of my favourites growing up was Terry Nation’s Survivors, strangely, it was about a global pandemic.

Survivors also explored the need for isolation to guard against the illness, whether it was the village school being closed off or Abby Grant’s son’s Peter’s school being shut with supplies being left at the gate. A man at the school explains to Abby that a group, which included Peter, went to find somewhere they could isolate themselves.

The cowardly Tom Price also warns people such as Jenny Richards away from him

As late as the final episode of the first series, ‘A Beginning’ the survivors are wary about taking in a sick girl in case she is contagious.

that Survivors is an example of social realism with a documentary-like aesthetic shot on location with almost no special effects, expensive sets, models or mattes and is character driven like the BBC ensemble series The Brothers (1972-6). In this respect, Survivors goes much further than the current coronavirus situation in our world.

Website also has episode synopses..

What is Survivors?
The original or 'classic' Survivors was an 38 episode drama series which aired on BBC1 between 1975 and 1977.
The opening episodes were first broadcast on BBC1 in April 1975 and immediately grabbed the attention and interest of the viewing public.
In essence, the series concerns the aftermath of a plague which had wiped out over 99% of the world's population and the experiences of a group of individuals in England as they grappled with the post-plague world and the trials of day-to-day survival.

From Wipekedia ... It concerns the plight of a group of people who have survived an apocalyptic plague pandemic, which was accidentally released by a Chinese scientist and quickly spread across the world via air travel.
Referred to as "The Death", the plague kills approximately 4,999 out of every 5,000 human beings on the planet within a matter of weeks of being released.
Since its original broadcast the series has gained a cult following.
