Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Terry Nation created the Daleks and reportedly got bored with Survivors, killing off regulars when he wanted fresh storylines.
This predates The Walking Dead's entire aesthetic by decades—zombie-free apocalypse where the real threat is other survivors and bad farming decisions.
