She's A Survivor

Freema Agyeman has been cast in a new BBC re-imagining of classic Seventies drama series Survivors, based on the novel by Dalek creator, Terry Nation.

Originally launched in April 1975 on BBC One, Survivors ran for 38 episodes over three series.

The new series, set in the present day, focuses on the world in the aftermath of a devastating virus which wipes out most of the world's population.

Freema has been cast as Jenny Collins, a bright and lively young teacher in a primary school who must face choices beyond anything she could have imagined.

Currently filming in Manchester until September for transmission in autumn 2008, Survivors is a BBC Drama Production for BBC One.
