Finally something I can recommend

Just watched the last two episodes of the post-apocalyptic series The Last Train, made for TV in late 90's I can only assume I missed this as it was on ITV. It's a shame 'cause this was great, much better than the recent Survivors remake even though it treds much of the same ground. A group of stereotypical Britishers get frozen, there's a bit of an apocalypse, then they thaw out and battle through a decaying society filled with "savages". There's some ropey acting from a few of the gang but it's mostly pretty good, script is better than expected and it's much darker in tone than I'd hoped for an ITV drama. Nice and grim ending too.
