the nice people over at Total Sci-Fi Online have learned that the BBC are not making a third series of Survivors, which most people know Zoë Tapper for playing Dr Anya Raczynski.
The article goes on to say…
“Sadly the BBC aren’t going to do any more Survivors,” a source close to the production told Total Sci-Fi. “They expressed genuine affection for the show and a real desire to go again but felt that with the ratings having slipped a little since the first series they couldn’t take the risk. The sad truth is that we’re somewhat the victims of having gone out on the main channel – in some ways the exposure is wonderful but in other ways it’s a mixed blessing.
“Shows like Torchwood and Being Human benefitted from growing their audiences on the digital channels where it’s easier for this kind of genre show to grow and develop without being judged. With ratings over 4 million, Survivors would be considered to have a very substantial audience almost anywhere else except BBC1 and perhaps ITV.”
The source added that the cast and production team felt they had “ truly begun to hit our creative stride in series 2” and were upset at not getting the chance to develop the series further.
However The news is yet to be confirmed or denied by the BBC, however both seasons have now completely aired both in the UK and the USA.

Zoë has voiced the character of The Pilot for the Blake’s 7 Audio Adventure ZEN: Escape Velocity. The audio adventure is part of the BLAKE’S 7: THE EARLY YEARS series, published by the UK-based independent production company, B7 Productions and stars Zoë Tapper, Jason Merrells, Tracey-Ann Oberman and Alistair Lock as Zen.
THE EARLY YEARS is a prequel series of stories that explores the origins of key Blake’s 7 characters prior to them meeting rebel leader, Roj Blake. This latest entry to the ever-expanding series takes a new twist, concentrating on a character that doesn’t breathe or have any parents, the synthetic intelligence ZEN.
The story is told from the point of view of one of the original Liberator crew, the human Pilot, played by Zoë. How a human without a past came to be on board this alien vessel will be just the beginning of this spine-tingling tale.
Zoë found playing a character with no past an exciting challenge…
“With no past to draw from, the emphasis was on Pilot’s instincts. It was important for me to strike the right balance between portraying an innocent who is seemingly starting life afresh and in Pilot’s case, an old soul, whose innate wisdom and fighting spirit, tells her that all is not what it seems.” Says Zoë Tapper
