Flawed Classic
Survivors Series Two suffers from three problems - the producers' decision not to renew Carolyn Seymour's contract, the resultant gender politics (woman's place is in the kitchen), and some of the worst tv acting I've ever seen from the various 'guest artists'.
Seymour's departure from the show is well documented, but her absence leaves a gaping hole in the character structure, and Series Two suffers hugely from this. Whilst the regular male characters get to 'lead' the community, the women all seem to become increasingly 'Stepford-like'.
Some of the 'guest-star' acting is gob-smackingly bad - witness Coral Atkins as Penny in The Lights of London (was there a shortage of decent tv actors in Britain in the 70's?). The frequent examples of clunky and third-rate acting often destroy any tension or complexity of plot, especially when the principals - Gregory, Lill or McCulloch - are so good.
Yet Survivors still impresses, with fascinating ideas, and is still as good as I remember from watching it as a kid. -
