Have you ever wondered what happened to the actors,
writers and producers of Survivors? Have you ever seen
a show where one of the stars looks vaguely familiar, but you
can't quite place them? Well this is the page for you! Due to
the enormous number of sightings people have reported, we've had to
add a second page! If you know of any other SSSSSS's
please contact us!
Page 1Page 2 John Abineri (Hubert Goss) His most recent sighting was in License to Live as Dorset Longhurst. His most impressive appearance was as Hamilton Banker in The Godfather Part III, and he was also seen on various
American PBS stations as Herne The Hunter in Robin Hood. Also rumoured to have sung Land of Dope and Tories in an unnamed British sit-com! George Baker (Arthur Wormley) Known to most of us as Chief
Inspector Wexford from the Ruth Rendell mysteries. Also has appeared as Tiberius in I Claudius, New Number 2 in The Prisoner(Arrival, 1967) and in Dr. Who(Full Circle, 1980) and Doomwatch(Train and De-Train, 1970). Brian Blessed (Brod - A Gang Leader) He continued to play exactly the same kind of role that he played on his one Survivors episode - a very loud, hairy, aggressive oaf. He has had numerous screen appearances, including the role of the King on Blackadder I. More recently he starred as a famous mountaineer on a big-screen production. Peter Bowles (David Grant - Abby's husband) Became one of the most well known stars of British television, starring in such classics as To the Manor Born, The Irish R.M., and Rumpole of the Bailey. June Brown (Susan - Seth's woman) Is now best known to soap fans as Dot Cotton of East Enders
fame. She has been with the series since 1985 as the long suffering mother of the drug-crazed murderer Nick Cotton. She is now one of the longest serving stars of the show. She also played one of Jack the Ripper's victims (Long Liz) in Sherlock Holmes: Murder by Decree, and as Mrs Leyton in Duchess of Duke Street. Sylvia Coleridge (Mrs Butterworth - A Little Learning) Appeared most recently as Miss Flite in Bleak House(l985).

Aside from playing "The Scotsman" in numerous shows, he has appeared as a minister in Duchess of Duke Street, Davidson in Oliver's Travels, Children of the Stones, Ray Bradbury Theatre, and Adam Adamant Lives!. But surely the pinnacle of his career was his portrayal of the corpse in the Hercule Poirot mystery Dead Man's Mirror!
John Dudley (John Milton) The son of producer Terence Dudley also appeared in minor roles in All Creatures Great and Small and Doomwatch, before packing it all in because he hated being an actor!
Peter Duncan (Dave - A youngster) After allegedly appearing in a low-budget porn-movie, he became a childrens television presenter on Blue Peter
(was the porn story actually true or was it just invented to make a bad joke? Answers on a postcard...). He then went on to host an off-shoot called Duncan Dares. He also had a minor role in the '80's remake of Flash Gordon. Lucy Fleming
(Jenny Richards) Lucy Fleming is the niece of Ian Fleming (James Bond). She was spotted in the BBC sit-com Dear John (there was an American copy of this show - she was in the British version). She was only in one episode, appearing as John's date. More recently she was spotted in a Mr Bean episode playing the mother of the boy who blows up the chemistry lab (Mr Bean goes to school?). Before
Survivors she played Isabella in The Tragedy of King Richard II, and Emily in The Avengers (Invasion of the Earthmen, written by Terry Nation). Robert Gillespie (Sam - The Enemy, Power. Also John Milner - Genesis)
