 Released November 2016SynopsisIt begins with just a few people falling ill. Another flu virus that spreads around the globe. And then the reports begin that people are dying… When most of the world's population is wiped out, a handful of survivors are left to pick up the pieces. Cities become graveyards. Technology becomes largely obsolete. Mankind must start again. But viruses are survivors too... 5.1 The Second Coming by Andrew Smith Millions died when the plague swept the globe. Such a thing couldn’t possibly happen again - or could it? When Abby Grant and Evelyn Piper both arrive at Carol Baker’s Maythorne community, a chain of events is set in motion that could unleash a new wave of death across the country. 5.2 New Blood by Christopher Hatherall Danger surrounds Whitecross when a simple border dispute exposes deadly tensions between those who live side by side. Greg Preston and Jenny Richards soon find themselves fighting for their lives, as people in the grip of a terrible new fear turn to the old ways to protect themselves... 5.3 Angel of Death by Simon Clark Emerging from a quarantined Whitecross, Greg and Jenny discover that the danger they glimpsed at Springton is far from over. Meanwhile, as isolated communities find themselves exposed to a disease they know nothing about, Abby joins a desperate race to save lives. 5.4 Come the Horsemen by Andrew Smith In times of crisis, rumour and fear run rife across the decimated landscape of Britain. Evelyn and Abby experience the lethal effects of this panic first hand. At such times the worst of humanity is exposed. Can Greg and Jenny find the best in those around them? Or is there no way to avoid the coming of the horsemen? NOTE: Survivors contains adult material and is not suitable for younger listeners.Written By: Andrew Smith, Christopher Hatherall and Simon Clark Directed By: Ken Bentley CASTCarolyn Seymour (Abby Grant), Ian McCulloch (Greg Preston), Lucy Fleming (Jenny), Fiona Sheehan (Hannah), Evelyn Piper (Zoe Tapper), Neve McIntosh (Carol Baker), Sean Biggerstaff (Healy), Barnaby Edwards (John Woodley/Old Scavenger/Stuart), Andy Secombe (Ben Turner), Fintan McKeown (Patrick Regan), Richard Hope (Silas Broome), Alex Clatworthy (Summer Broome/Elsie), Donna Berlin (Pearl Ironsmith), Ekow Quartey (Dylan), Elizabeth Payne (Beatrice/Margo), Roger May (Lenny Bryson) |

I liked this series far more than series 4 which for me was "meh". The music and sound design were bang on in this set, really helping to set the mood. The stories had a great flow and led into the next quite nicely. This has me looking forward to the next volume as I really want to know what happens next.

I've only listened to the first story in this so far. Holy crap. I wan't sure this series could get much darker, but I guess I was wrong. It was just riveting.

Story one just finished for me too. Wow. This is exceptional - really very strong performances. So strong they can make you wince! And terrific, challenging writing. And there are three more episodes of this to go! This is a really harrowing direction for the overall series to go in - cruel and bleak. I ****** love it!

Started listening to episode 1 in the car and once again I start coughing up a lung. I must really be susceptible to subliminal messages.
Anyway its very dark and harrowing so far. Everything I've come to expect from the range.
Cheers

I wonder if humanity is destined to make the same mistakes over and over or whether we are predetermined to always get corrupted by power/self belief like Carol. If so, there is no hope for us.
Woah, a bit deep for this morning ... onto lighter stuff
Cheers

'New Blood' continues the incredible darkness of the drama begun with 'The Second Coming'. These amazing aduios are nasty - but the stories are not confined to merely throwing horrific incidents at characters and seeing how they cope. We are given an emotional investment in these people, both old and new, and the catastrophe that continually afflicts them is dealt with with restraint and intelligent pacing. That all hard-hitting drama could be like this!
'Survivors' has quickly become BF's go-to place for misery and despair. Any hope there is is on a very distant horizon. I hope the people behind this are brave enough never to let up on the gloom! Tremendous.

Just finished the first story. Little slow at the start but it picked up fast. What an ending!! After all that character had gone through in previous series she went out like that! Didn't see that one coming.

Have only had time for the first two episodes so far, but I am really enjoying it. After being upset at how bad episode 4.1 was and overall a little cool to Series 4, it's a real treat for me that Series 5 feels like a true return to quality! Spoiler for episode 5.1 It was a stroke of (infuriating) genius to have Carol actually kill Molly/Hannah herself. I don't like that she's dead, but it was a great way to make sure that I really don't like or trust Carol in the next episodes. |

Just started listening to part two in the car and when Jenny and Greg meet .... on the road, I was shouting at the stereo "run away! run away!". I think I'm getting far too immersed in this world
