I made the catastrophic error of watching an episode of the new BBC series of Survivors the other night. I watch little enough television and this series really demonstrates why; by golly, it's badly acted, badly scripted tosh and it isn't helped by having the shockingly bad actress who played the lead in Bonekickers in it.
I've always thought there was a certain amount of wish-fulfilment in post-apocalyptic scenarios; that possibility of removal of the rule of law and all the funky consumer goods there for the taking, so it's disappointing to see that the survivors of some global plague in Survivors can't do better than drive a Land Rover and nick stuff from branches of Netto. Netto! Not even Waitrose. Pah.
If I were one of the few survivors of a global apocalypse, I'd be driving a souped-up dune buggy and wearing nothing more than a hockey mask and a pair of leather trucks quicker than you could say knife.
If you were one of the few survivors, what would you do?
