Survivors was a BBC Sci-Fi drama series created by Terry Nation (better known as creator of the Daleks). It ran between 1975 and 1977, and was set in a post-apocalyptic world where most of the population of the planet has been killed by an accidentally released plague[1].
Terry Nation has used the SVRSevern Valley Railway previously in filming The Incredible Robert Baldick.
Filming on the SVRSevern Valley Railway
Some confusion exists.
Wikipedia comments that the SVRSevern Valley Railway was used "extensively."[1]
Series 3 Episode 4 'Mad Dogs' was first broadcast on 6 April 1977 and featured the SVRSevern Valley Railway. SVRSevern Valley Railway News refers to filming at Highley station and signal box.[2]. However a poor quality photograph appears to show 48773 (as 8233) at Hampton Loade[3]. A detailed account of filming reiterates this as the location with filming on 27 January 1977. "When edited, the Severn Valley sequences would together account for just under five minutes of screen time (44:30 – 49:24)."[4]
Furthermore, the article states: "[Survivors’ producer Terry] Dudley had arranged for Survivors to make extensive use of the rail line in three series three episodes which would be recorded concurrently: Law of the Jungle, which had preceded Mad Dog, and Bridgehead, which was to follow it. (A short establishing shot of a train in motion, filmed during the making of Bridgehead would also later appear in the opening scenes of the series’ final episode Power)."
