  • Did you know that Carolyn Seymour’s nick name at drama school was BENKERS! She was in the same year as Nicholas Grace (Matthew in Gone To The Angels). Incidentally the part of Matthew was especially written for Nicholas by Jack Ronder as he is Tanya Ronder’s (Lizzie) surrogate godfather! Nicholas Grace can be seen in Birds Of A Feather as Marcus along with another Survivors actress Linda Robson, (Barbara in Over The Hills).
  • Did you know that in the episode Mad Dog, cold custard and white of egg were eventually used to make Morris Perry (Fenton) foam at the mouth?

ME.

I know, I know I know! Denis Lill is a really nice chap, and
yes, all the other actors in our series are wonderful too, but
to me there can only be the one boss; only one actor who
actually personifies the programme and who, miraculously,
still cares about the series with a passion surpassing my own!
I am talking of course about that most reclusive of actors IAN McCULLOCH.

The word on the underground grapevine (well okay then, Lynne) was that Ian had been booked to do a bit of an autograph session for the fans of the films he starred in during his "Zombie period." For those of you as ignorant as I, it seems that during the late seventies / early eighties Ian found himself a bit of a niche doing those rather tacky Italian low budget, blood and gore style Zombie films. (I’m on dangerous ground here by the way because Ian seemed rather pleased with them !) Eventually of course the market for them became saturated (probably with all that blood and gore) and production of them dried up, leaving our man temporarily jobless. Now however, celluloid salvation beckons for it seems that there is a huge (and apparently still growing) Horror genre cult scene which is lapping them up like no - bodies business. (sorry, that was absolutely the last pun on this subject).
