Survivors won't survive BBC axe

The BBC is bringing Survivors to an end after just two series.

The remake of the 1970s cult sci-fi show will not return because of its falling ratings.

The 21st century version of Survivors stars Julie Graham and Max Beesley, in which a handful of survivors struggle to stay alive when a deadly virus wipes out most of the world's population.

The finale of the second series was seen by 4.43million viewers.

A BBC spokeswoman confirmed: "The BBC is committed to making a broad range of varied and ambitious drama, but in order to achieve this we do have to move on from some pieces in order to allow new work to come through.

"After two series, Survivors will not be returning."

The post-apocalyptic BBC1 drama was originally penned by sci-fi writer Terry Nation, who also wrote Blake's 7 and created Doctor Who's arch-enemies the Daleks.

It ran over three series in 1975 after the BBC secured the rights to The Survivors after months of negotiations with Nation's estate.

The new series was written by Adrian Hodges, who also penned Ruby In The Smoke, Shadow In The North and Primeval.
