(A bit before your time, but) have you ever seen Survivors?

#Blakes7 #DoctorWho -
I knew about his involvement with Dr Who (especially the Daleks) but not the rest. Certainly not that he started as a comedy writer!
(Perhaps apocryphally with #SpikeMilligan buying a sketch off Terry because he looked hungry & could use the money to eat)

Didn't realize that #TerryNation (of #Blakes7 ) wrote an episode of #SpyFi show #DepartmentS

I wish Terry Nation was alive so I could ask him about Survivors, a post-apocalypse scifi he created in 1975. It's unlike his dalek stories or his show Blakes 7
Interesting wrinkles to it. I don't know if I would call it feminist but it gives equal time to womens' experiences and all the villains are men trying to recreate patriarchal structures
I also think the female actors detected this and fleshed out these threads more than the scripts showed maybe?

"Written by the creator of the #Daleks, #TerryNation, the serial starred Hartnell and Purves alongside an early appearance by #NicholasCourtney as Bret Vyon, Adrienne Hill as Katarina, and Kevin Stoney as Mavic Chen.
"Courtney would go on to play recurring character, #TheBrigadier.
"But the 'dark and gritty' 12-part storyline was ordered to be wiped, and more than half of it remains missing."

If they make a chip for this then a shout-out to Blake's 7 and the writer, Terry Nation, for predicting this with Tariel-cells.
Orac, the greatest computer ever (fictional or not), would come later and be able to wirelessly access any PC with a Tariel cell in it.
Which was all of them.
As well as being incredibly powerful, Orac was also an irascible and arrogant AI.

This week, October's women-in-peril theme continues with another 70s flick. This time, we go overseas for a couple British nurses in danger on a cycling trip in France in And Soon the Darkness.

And now in what might become a series (at least as long as I enjoy doing it) is the opportunity for a deep dive into the first Dalek serial - The Daleks aka The Dead Planet aka The Mutants. And this one you can even watch on iplayer in both black and white and frenetic colour!

A great new video by Jon and Gavin at Dalek 63:88 on the creation of the Special Weapons Dalek from 1988’s ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ which reappeared in 11th and 12th Doctor stories… https://youtu.be/pAeqxp0SAbM #DoctorWho #Dalek #BBCTV #RemembranceOfTheDaleks #TerryNationArmy #TerryNation #DalekBuilding #BenAaronovitch

Another review from ages past on my blog. Through some interesting reasoning, Lance Parkin dates The Keys of Marinus to nearly 50,000,000 BC so I reviewed it early on in my marathon. I do love this silly little quest story. If you do too, we can definitely be friends.
