I wish Terry Nation was alive so I could ask him about Survivors, a post-apocalypse scifi he created in 1975. It's unlike his dalek stories or his show Blakes 7

Interesting wrinkles to it. I don't know if I would call it feminist but it gives equal time to womens' experiences and all the villains are men trying to recreate patriarchal structures

I also think the female actors detected this and fleshed out these threads more than the scripts showed maybe?

"Written by the creator of the #Daleks, #TerryNation, the serial starred Hartnell and Purves alongside an early appearance by #NicholasCourtney as Bret Vyon, Adrienne Hill as Katarina, and Kevin Stoney as Mavic Chen.

"Courtney would go on to play recurring character, #TheBrigadier.

"But the 'dark and gritty' 12-part storyline was ordered to be wiped, and more than half of it remains missing."

If they make a chip for this then a shout-out to Blake's 7 and the writer, Terry Nation, for predicting this with Tariel-cells.

Orac, the greatest computer ever (fictional or not), would come later and be able to wirelessly access any PC with a Tariel cell in it.

Which was all of them.

As well as being incredibly powerful, Orac was also an irascible and arrogant AI.
