Very interesting and ambitious series. One factual correction: it’s not French but Swiss-French (Télévision Suisse-Romande). There are lots of good ideas going on which need more development. Neither the script or the direction are brilliant, however the main factor is probably a lack of time to work out all of the themes. The author, Edmund Cooper, in the introduction to the book’s 1971 re-publication states “it was adapted as a ten-part television serial”; it’s unlikely he ever saw the programmes so his report may be incorrect however I did wonder if there maybe did exist a longer original version with more content.

Clearly a low budget production, but a worthwhile exploration of some classic sci-fi themes: nuclear apocalypse, human vs android, the human need for struggle. It’s not a deep exploration, but still interesting. Reminiscent of “Alphaville”.
