Since 2014, Big Finish’s audio drama series, Survivors, has been exploring at how humanity would survive in the aftermath of a global pandemic.
Developed from Terry Nation’s 1970s television series, the latest box set in the audio continuation examines the lives of Abby Grant (played by Carolyn Seymour) and Jenny Richards (played by Lucy Fleming), and how life is developing under the New Federal Government.
It’s been a generation since The Death killed over 99% of the population. A new breed of people have grown up free from the trappings of 20th century civilisation, and those still clinging to the past find they must adapt or die.
Survivors: New Dawn 4 is now available to own as a collector's edition 3-disc CD box set (+ download for just £19.99) or as a digital download only (for just £16.99), exclusively at www.bigfinish.com.
This release contains three stories:
Albion by Ken Bentley
Continuing their journey south, Abby and Jenny venture for the first time to Kent. There they find a strange new world where the mistakes of the past are being repeated in the present, and where life is hard for those without the skills to survive.
Fallout by Matt Fitton
With Jenny taken by an unknown enemy, Abby sets out on a desperate search. Her journey leads into dangerous territory. An old friend is on hand to help, but Ruth has worries of her own. Together, Ruth and Abby look into the mystery of sickness around Dungeness. Will they find Jenny before it’s too late?
Requiem by Ken Bentley
Abby and Ruth finally come face to face with the strange and elusive people of Kent. They soon find themselves on the wrong side of a bitter conflict which forces them to question everything they thought they knew about life in the new world.
NOTE: Survivors contains adult material and is not suitable for younger listeners.
Co-writer and director Ken Bentley, who has been part of the Survivors range at Big Finish since its first day in studio, admits there’s a degree of pride in the way that it’s grown and developed over the years: “Survivors has been one of my most fulfilling creative experiences and it’s been a real honour to be one of the custodians of these characters and this story world.
“It was always our intention to be true to Terry Nation’s original vision. Back in 1975, the very first episode of Survivors was about Abby and Jenny and it followed their experience of the world breaking down. It was written very much from a female perspective including a number of dramatic moments that are unique to women.
“From the beginning of the audio series we tried to remain true to that vision and one of the most exciting things about working on these final episodes has been the opportunity to bring Abby and Jenny’s journey to an end.
“We probably didn’t fully appreciate at the time what an ambitious odyssey the audio series would turn into, but it’s been hugely satisfying to continue the story of two women surviving against all the odds.”
Survivors: New Dawn 4 is now available to own for just £19.99 (collector’s edition 3-disc CD box set + download) or £16.99 (download only).
Big Finish listeners can save money by purchasing Survivors: New Dawn 3 and 4 together in a bundle for just £38 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £33 (download only).

Wow. I was 21 when it aired in NZ and I'm now 70. Just seems like yesterday. And, coincidentally I just watched the full 3 seasons a couple of weeks ago CZcams.
I am a kid in heart but not years and I've just enjoyed Binge watching it again. T.V. Sci-fi/Drama at it's best.
Thank you both, Carolyn and Lucy, for this very special reminder of why British sci-fi classics are thriving so well via Big Finish.
Cannot say enough how (as a fan) I am so GRATEFUL for the continuation of a beloved series, and to see you all again! THANK YOU!!!!!!
So glad Big Finish carried this series on and grateful that Carolyn and Lucy agreed to do it. A shame Greg's character died though but at least you got him back for awhile in the early stories
I was gutted we didn't get more Greg. Good series tho
always gonna remember Carolyn Seymour as Dr. Chakwas from the Mass Effect series
I really hope Carolyn reprises her voice role in the next Mass Effect game as Dr. Karin Chakwas!
I was 12 when it was aired in 75 and I couldn't wait for each episode.
Oh, another one. How nice to have some company again.
amazing series of audiobooks and fantastic actors. i do feel sorry for Greg dealing with these strong willed ladies!
I was the same age as the children in Survivors when I watched the original TV series. I remember being shocked at seeing how ‘grown ups’ would behave in response to a natural disaster. It made me wonder how my parents and teachers would act in such a situation. Never imagined we would live through such real pandemic.
Lovely!
It's very strange seeing them after hearing their voices for so many years in the sets. (I haven't seen the original but have all the bf cd sets)
I have the series 1 boxset on DVD which I’ve watched. Very good it is.
@@Super_Mario128 I've got it as well, I just need to find a time to watch it
I was about 15 when watching this and great to listen to the audio books and plays
Original series free on youtube
Love the audio books so much
It is a shame the big finish recordings are so unjustifiably expensive.
Great interview with the stars of my favorite TV series. I regularly do the fan meet ups and looking forward the upcoming one. Still haven’t listened to the big finish yet
Where and when are the fan meet ups? Would love to go but wasn't aware there was such an event.
I like to think Mirasta Yale explored the stars and ended up doing Big Finish performances.
Awesome BF series and great ladies! More Omega Factor now please 🙏
A new Omega Factor is coming out this month from Big Finish
@@CanadianGadfly I read about The Ωmega Factor's return to Big Finish for this Halloween season. That's great news.
@@CanadianGadfly thanks for the heads up 🙏
What about Pet ?
Bierce ⁉
The character of Ruth was first played by a pretty actress who'd previously been on the Benny Hill Show. Why was she dropped?
