Sci-fi shenanagens.
Well I have just managed to finish watching a series that was recomended to me by a friend.It is called The last train, basicly the story goes like this;
A train is travelling to shefield and while in a tunnel it "crashes" and a canister of gas carried by a passenger goes off and freezes everyone in the carrage, they wake up x number of years later (im not going to tell you how many as it is a large part of the story) and the world is no longer as it was so they set off in search of people.
This series was filmed in the 90s in typical BBC style, thats to say the filming has been done in a very tv way, however the sets are actualy quite good and look like someone has thought about it.
The plot is good but has a few of holes and as a story is fairly belevable, if it had carried on for more than the 6 episodes It would have got very dull very quickly.
The interesting thing is that most of the cast seem to have gone on to do other things and not get lost in tv oblivion like so many. So overall I would give it a 7/10 and say if you see it kicking around it's worth a look.
