We didn't get a huge amount of science fiction in 1999, but there were snippets, the best of them I thought was the last Train. I was lucky enough to see the repeats on itv3 some years back, and it's just as I remember, bleak, imaginative and unrelenting. There were some touching scenes, as the group attempted to survive together, and there were some shocking moments also, the scene with the dogs for one.
The first time I became aware of just how wonderful Nicola Walker is, she's a terrific actress, and was great in this. It was such a disappointment at the time that it didn't return, there was more mileage here. At one stage they set it in Pontins Prestatyn, somewhere I holidayed as a youngster.
There's a review dated 1999 where someone asks for the video, twenty years later I ask for a DVD release, I imagine in another twenty years time someone else will ask for a release on whatever format is relevant.
