Six-part British post-apocalyptic TV show from 1999. Was a very compelling series at the time.
Visually a great romp around some choice grim northern England locations. My favourites included the Butlins summer camp and the abandoned power station. Has the occasional awkward acting and story-line moment..... but very decent overall.
Apologies for one or two sections where the music was muted. I did this using youtube's tool to avoid copyright issues (I think one of the song was Cliff Richard.) Also seems to be blocked in the UK, bu nowhere else.
I worked on this series as Visual Effects Supervisor, camera operator, motion control supervisor and second unit director. It was great fun but very hard wok as many of the locations were very harsh indeed. Especially Butlins in November!
Good work, Peter. I was surprised at how young certain faces look and that Matthew Graham wrote it around the time he, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah were throwing ideas around for what became Life On Mars.
Great stuff Peter, and thank-you. I was just reminiscing about tv series that I used to watch back in the day, things like Battlestar Galactica, and I watched an interview Katie Sackhoff where she mentions a project she was going to be working on called "The Last Transport" and bingo "The Last Train" lit up in my mind like a firework. I remember being absolutely transfixed by this series (I was 14 when it was released) and to see this now on KZhead is fabulous - I get to watch it again after all this time. Also, how absolutely bizarre that yourself and David are commenting on this, the same as me, all within 6 hours of each other on the same day about a series that is 22 years old and was only uploaded to youtube 4 months ago?!
I vividly remember this series from when it came out. I loved it! Such a great classic sci-fi trope - post apocalyptic stuff. But rarely told in film or TV from this perspective. We usually just get Hollywood blockbusters with lots of special effects showing the world being destroyed and the main characters surviving, or we get zombie apocalypses. This was different and intriguing. Really brave of ITV to invest in this sort of production at the time - although I guess it didn't work out that well as we didn't see too much else, unless the remake of Survivors counts (I didn't like that one). Anyway, good job on the visuals Peter. Given this is over twenty years ago and working with TV budgets the world building looks very realistic. It's kind of how I'd imagine Britain to be 50 years after the absence of humans.
Fantastic Peter! Loved the Butlins scenes - must've been freezing! Also the final scenes in the power station....absolutely fantastic. Just.......wow.
@@alejandroamador3110 wonderful to see another fan of this series, I hope Peter sees your comment!
A young Nicola Walker!!! A great actress. 😄👍
USA here. I loved the show. Thanks for sharing..
Wow - Nicola Walker was so young - but then, so was I in 1999! 😂 I don't recall that this series ever made it to Australia, so very much appreciate the opportunity to see it. Awesome stuff!😃🙏
In Canada, this show was called "Cruel Earth". It's fantastic entertainment, however I've yet see a DVD of this show on store shelves... Thanks for this upload!. 🙂 👍🏻
Movies7io has a clear upload that someone just posted a month ago of this 23-year-old programme.
20 minutes into this, plus the reference to the dream that most of them had, made me think of "Lost."
The magic Van never needs fuel.
Well it's a gud job it wasn't an EV 🤐 . Then they would have bin shafted/screwed/fooked ... or up the Swanee wid out a paddle 🥳🇬🇧. Tiz true it needs a HD Version 🙏
No good fuel after 50 years, that van was running on plot armor.
Brilliant, through and through. A word of caution, however; don't start watching if insomnia wakens you at 2 a m. By the time the show finishes, it's time to get up, but you've had no sleep because the show drew you in so thoroughly. I see a nap in my near future.
👍🏻🤣👍🏽
Oops! Already did!
Randomly showed and watched it all at one sitting! Very interesting! Love the premise. Thx for posting a lost(?) gem!
GREAT!!! Just finished. If anyone knows of anymore of this type and quality, please post. Thank you.
Hour and a half into it and it's pretty good series. I never saw it on US tv not even PBS when we used to get lots of shows, like Benny Hill, Are you being served, Doctor Who, Fawlty Towers but now it's all on Brit Box and you have to pay. Can't wait to see Butlins where my father spent his summers as a kid. 🙂
It's September, 2023. So far we haven't been hit by an asteroid, but there's a feeling of impending doom. I just found this, I'm about halfway through, and I can't look away, even though it's giving me major anxiety. 😏 thank you for the upload! 🌹
The meteorite that hit Akure, Nigeria, on 28 March 2020 got remarkably little press coverage.
Cheer up
I hadn't planned to enjoy this series so much
5 hours of people angrily shouting at each other.
Only 2 questions: Why were the guys wearing neckties throw-out the apocalypse? How could all this vegetation prosper under acid rains?
The score makes it seem much older than its production date, but the series definitely captures one’s attention and holds it. I loved stumbling upon this gem and seeing Nicola Walker and Sacha Dawan in their early careers.
I liked Treva Etienne in this.
Nice TV-series! Atmosphere is alike 'The Langoliers' (1995).
What a thrilling ride . Wow. I shed a good couple of tears too . Brilliant acting. Really great visual effects . Absolutely loved it . Watched the whole series in one go. Made for some deep introspection and left me with quite a bit of food for thought .♥️💯
This is such a good show. I loved it 🤩
i watched this a long time ago, and it was great. Well worth watching.
An hour and half in, I am still here glued. Really nice! Better than some newer stuff on here! Thanks!
This series comes under my bloody brilliant category as said in a previous text a real hidden gem
❤This random popped up and I spent the day watching it. What a really good show!❤
Watched this first time around glad I found it 23 years later, still brilliant
Crazy! I never knew this was a complete show. I’ve only seen the unsold US pilot (called Day One) of this show and I loved the premise. I’m so happy to have come across this upload. Thank you!
It took a while for me what this was about , even the ending, not saying it was boring because I watched this moving right until the end.
Wow! That was MAGNIFICENT! Thank you so much for posting it!
Thanks for posting this. I have no idea how I stumbled upon it, but it was a great watch.
Thank you for sharing this. I seen the first two episodes on TVO here in Canada. Always wanted to see the rest of series. Waited 24yrs to find out how it ends.
Was it worth the wait?
It was worth it. Fun series.
Thanks for uploading this movie…it was very enlightening!
Good lord, everyone is so emotionally fragile in this. Nicely grim though. I like that. Still, what is up with (in the real world) these lists of "people chosen to survive" an "incident". It's really real. The problem is, you get Jamestown afterwards. Not one self important idiot in power seems to recall this lesson of history. To survive you need: Farmers, craftsmen, tradesmen (of the useful kind like tanners, hunters, butchers, miners), and laborers. What you don't need many (or really any) of are: Scientists, People with Doctoral Degrees, Politicians (even one is just too many to keep around, replace politician with a nicely trained Project Manager and you've got all you need to keep things organized), etc, people with useless trades like goldsmith but a good blacksmith is a keeper. But you see Jamestown in the colonial era forgot this too.. and they all died, ever single man woman and child. A politician is not a good farmer. To keep complex systems working you don't need a excessively trained engineer you need someone with practical experience, the grunt, the one who keeps the water plant operating.
I’m old, I’ve worked with clueless new hires only to be impressed. While ⅓ of us are losers, the others would learn, adapt and survive. 😊
WOW, what a first 10 minutes!
Brilliant! Some wildly improbable plot underpinnings, that somehow manage to weave into an enthralling story of human relationships and a quite satisfying ending!
thank you for the upload! a solid show, watched it in one go! gave me proper creeps with how real it felt. and Sacha Dhawan is already so good here, despite only being a teen.
Generally, I don't care for apocalyptic films, but this is one of a kind.
I love this series, thank you for sharing.
Loved it! British shows are so well done. Thank you, from an American who needs rescuing from crappy American programs.
AMEN!
@@randomentertainment7052 here on Utube. Band of Gold series. Think it is all on here. Set in Bradford, West Yorkshire about working girls. Very good acting etc. Screened here in Aust many years ago, but can't buy the DVD.
Agree!
If you're a Sherlock Holmes fan, you might like to check out GRANADA'S production of "Sherlock Holmes" starring Jeremy Brett as the Detective Holmes. I watched the first episode and was hooked. Brett's performance is superb. He IS Sherlock Holmes :)! There are 41 Episodes in total including a couple of feature films. It's all here on KZhead :) I recommend "Your Daily Brew" channel for the complete episodes listed in order.
True. Though in some things they are going down the same path
Watching it for the first time in 54 mins and 42 seconds and I’m already engaged lol. It has got to be one of the best hidden gems I found while searching up “The 4400 TV Series” (when I ended up typing “The 1100 TV Series” on accident to later find this). If I didn’t mistakenly type that out, I would never have found this hidden masterpiece. While I didn’t capture what happened for the first few moments, I later understood as I went through what it was about and rewatched previous scenes. And then I got engaged because The Last Train gave me the basics of what happened. An asteroid hits, a bunch of survivors get frozen, and they wake up to find the world in complete ruins. The best build up I’ve ever seen since 2K’s Bioshock with Rapture. Efficient. Powerful. And Believable. While I was unaware of how long it has been, assuming about 7 years according to the decomposed bodies, I was shocked to realize it’s been *13 years* since the asteroid hit. That right there is enough for me to get engaged already. Although I call this a masterpiece, I’m surprised it lasted for 6 episodes, assuming it gets wrapped up later on. But aside from that, to me, a masterpiece is something you can always look back at like it hasn’t changed a bit and feels so brand new. Though the show does reveal some of its age, the scenario and the situations along the way felt brand new because while we do have other things like that (like I am Legend or The Last of Us), but not as mysterious like this (or have twists that reveal the lore behind the show). This gem to me is timeless and I’ll keep watching for my own time. (Also, I like how the supposed time they’re in happened to be ‘The End of the World’ when we’ve surpassed it lol). On a side gig, for the entire 54 mins, it even reminded me of Lostprophets’s Last Train Home. kzhead.info/sun/fMqafpGPrX-eZas/bejne.html
Quite a feat, fine acting, credible characters & setting, convincing plot. Thank you for sharing.
This production stirred feelings in me forgotten for many years. Thanks, KZhead.
Awesome! I stumbled upon this series and watched all 6 episodes in 1 day. I still have some questions at the end, but it's a remarkable show.
A younger Nicola Walker. Thanks, I will watch this. Cheers from Queensland.
Is no one else laughing at the guy in the first minute shouting “Marry me, BITCH!!!” ?
loved it, thanks
I hope they can restore the film and create a HD version. There are some TV series from even the 80s that look crystal clear on today's televisions. There's a tv channel available in Asia called HITS HD which airs old tv series from the 80s and 90s but they don't have many British tv series. I hope they consider this.
I watched a clear version on Movies7io. Another commenter said it's on DailyMotion.
Thanks so much for sharing, I love this stuff.
Great movie! Thanks for posting it! 👍
This was excellent. Well done.
Thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Makes one think, especially in these times.
Not giving anything away but the old guy at end with pillow look at his hands😂😂😂
Really good, couldn't let it go !
I read an article that said you would need 50 people to repopulate the earth. ? I tried to figure out the math but I have a pea brain. Thank You for posting this. Really enjoyed the ride. It’s refreshing to see films where people take pride in their profession and truly want to present art. Most of those Netflix films I find immature and lacking in artistic professionalism.
the theory is called the human bottleneck. @@ericeric9208
I'm enjoying immensely!
This was worth every minute .
Wel thank you very, very much !!!!!! I am not usually into TV disaster movies..but this was incredible and took my attention from the start. Yes, there were a few mis-steps in the plot, butwho cares? A prodigeous, well acted five hours which I am glad I watched. Again, Thank you.
You dont know how happy I am to see this, I watched half of this before leaving England, and never got to see the end.
Whew. Thank you for sharing. God bless
So Jonathan and the others get out of hibernation. They marry and have children. But Jonathan just stays there for 50 years-no wife, no family,NO LIFE. Not knowing if Harriet lived, or will show up... And then he just smothers himself with his pillow, and has Harriet help?! The writing was good till the sick demented ending!! WHY JUST WHY??! 🙄
Yeah that made zero sense. Good thing I didn't care about her character or her story or I would of been upset.
Just finished watching all 6 episodes. Great!!
A very English apocalypse. Seriously? Suit and tie!!!😂😂😂🤘🏼❤🎉
Excellent, thank you.
Being from America this is my first time seeing this...I look forward to it...I so very much enjoy movie's and series from England, Australia and New Zealand!!!!👍🎥🍿👋 This is a awesome series!! I wish I could afford to move to England for a few months!!! This is one of the most enjoyable and peaceful Sunday's watching all six episodes!!!!
Pls be very careful about romanticizing any nation, esp. from TV shows or movies. Although the UK *was* a lot more advanced than the US in may ways, it has been on a parallel track with the US for the past 40 years, and it has declined in many of the same ways. Its PM, tho much smarter than djt, is an egocentric, incompetent, anti-govt hack who is more interested in personal power than in the good of his nation. His inept policies on COVID led to a death rate that's even higher than ours (and we're one of the highest in the world) -- and he's preparing to re-open the country even though cases have spiked bc of the Delta variant -- he refuses to accept the science on this issue. And as is the case with the US, there's an enormous wealth gap; a lot of poverty; white nationalism; and hostility to racial justice. For a more accurate sense of the UK, read _The Guardian_ newspaper -- there's no paywall. And btw, England is not a synonym for the UK. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland comprises four countries, one of which is England. (Great Britain = England, Scotland, and Wales.)
@@dw999 Thank you for that information....I will take it!! 👍
@@timothyleebrown1593 Totally agree with the comments made. @dw999 No where is perfect because humans always spoil it. I live in one of the best places on earth, yet it is far from perfect apart from nature. Also, though America has it’s issues, the general population are okay. Trump has gone and as I write this in September 2023 who knows what will happen in the next two or three years. Life is a series of sliding doors. We go through one then another and our path changes. *It is the present moment that we need concern ourselves about* … *what you do in the next 5 mins could alter your life forever and then on down through the ages* . Children that would be born if you go one way, will not be born if you go another etc. Many religious people say we have our lives mapped out but if that is true then there is no free will and that is an utter contradiction in terms. Not logical. Nothing is mapped out, nothing is decided that you or someone connected you cannot change in the blink of an eye. No one, even for one second should regret the door they go through, even if they go through to disaster, for the other door could have led to even greater disaster. If life is good for you, you may have chosen a good path, but you can easily change that and the future of any unborn children. That is why the *‘holy trinity’* *thinking before acting* and *being grateful for what you have* whilst *striving to be the best human you can be* are the only important things we have.
Loved this when I was a kid! Always stayed with me.
What is m************ ain't very smart are they always wondering off not realizing the danger of a 600-year sleep these m************ are tripping man reality hasn't seen yet for these f****** they all panicking getting on each other's nerve wondering off by themselves . These foolish ass mother f****** don't seem to realize that Civilization is dead
Man these f****** are dumb they don't deserve to survive in the post-apocalypse era always wondering off to themselves talking about stop the band my parents lived here wrong b**** your parents used to live there? 😆 These people are suffering Way beyond PTSD they are suffering super ptsds
U ok Hun?
Me too, so happy I’ve found it finally
absolute gem! Cheers for sharing.
Well, that was ANNOYING. I have way too many unanswered questions. Specifically, WHY did the children of the Ark think their babies HAD to be born at the Ark? Why were there fertility problems and stillbirths? What made them so confident that this pregnancy/delivery of Hilde's was going to be any different? What in the hell was the matter with Gettes, beyond Narcissistic Personality Disorder? What's with the weird blue light room that Hilde gives birth in, was it some kind of healing chamber?? Moreover, I don't think it is plausible that in one generation, or one and a half generations, that the descendants of the "best and the brightest" members of English society would degenerate so far as to forget what society is all about. Other than all that, it was a good flick, definitely fun to watch, memorable characters even if there was some forgettable dialog. All in all the miniseries is a great representation of the genre and a nice break from the Mad Max and zombie tropes.
Thinking that I would definitely seek out items for defense, never know what you’re going to run into. Maybe I’ve watched too many Apocalypse movies.
Wonderful series! Just binged it and loved it. Reminded me of Survivors one of my all-time favorite series. rbmk, thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🙂
Back in time../ "New kids on the block" of British cinema!😊
Thanks for this! ❤
Remember it quite well !! Never watched until the end though !!! Might try to now !
I remember watching this!
I am unable to watch it. It is in British and there are no subtitles.
🤣👍🏽
😏 🇺🇸
Amazing series! Much better than the crap being made nowadays.
Does it make your choices better to put other's down?
Interesting story, worth watching!
Really enjoyed this!
Wow, that was great! I agree with someone here who said it was very much like LOST. Yes, a few flaws, but really nicely put together. The sets or scenery were fantastic!
Love the story but there is a motto in survival - not accurate or final: three weeks without food; three days without water; and, three minutes without air. I'm captivated with the show.
If this lot is the future of humanity, we're pretty well up the barney without a brolly's pram. Cor, stone the crows and also blimey, mate.
Alf Stewert would be proud 👏
The pig looks well fed and so do the dogs it must be about 14 years given the growth of mother nature reclaiming where man was.
Excellent series good story, cheers for the upload 1986.
3:39:50 FYI no sound from here to 3:42:22
Phenomenal! Thanks for posting. Xxx
WOW that was an epic, the like i've never come across on youtube. absolutely brilliant. thanks for the upload.
Finally a imaginitive creative story. Glaring logic errors and storyline issues but great special effects and acting. Several questions. Why did one train car survive so long in a tunnel that just happened to collapse as soon as they began to awake. Second, why is the Scottish area still heather and mowed fields while southern England is tropical. How does a domesticated pig run around alone, not in a group of other pigs? How is a panther trapped in a factory for 40 years and not eat the pig? Just a few things that bother me. Why would babies live if born in the ark but not outside of it. Yet at least there was originality, a rare bird these days indeed.
The panther prob from the zoo.off spring from the zoo.the pig was one from a group that were gradually all eaten .use your imagination. Train moves more cuz the people are moving around and shifting it.
The petrol can’t last that long. I believe it’s only good for a few months.
that was a good one.
Really enjoyed this. It’s nice to see the relationships that develop between the characters. Some are more likeable then others Harriett and Colin being my least favourite.
Colin least favorite by FAR!!
Great series! Thanks for the upload.
I really enjoyed this movie, very sad parts that made me teary eyed 😢
Greetings from the Yosemite Valley area in California! This is a great show!! Love Grandma Debbie
Thanks Gramms! ❤
Thinking that in 1986 there was about 5 billion people in the world. 2023 it is about 8 billion people. Like the Story of how the small group copes and interacts. Almost unconceivable but quite possible that something like this actually happen. Doom for most people. How fragile life can actually be. Count your blessings and be grateful. Good watch. Enjoy. Thank you.
How many of the survivors was Leo responsible for getting them killed?
Yeah, that kid was dangerously stupid...
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Well I was a bit disappointed about the ending, but all in all it was pretty good! Thanks!
The holiday camp scenes were filmed at the old Pontins Tower Beach camp in Prestatyn North Wales. It's a housing estate now. Also I think some scenes were filmed at the old Trawsfynedd nuclear power station
This is better 10 x better than most of the stuff being released today. The music at 50:00 reminds me of Aliens.
On dystopias in general,why is it that these stories are laden with such an amount of visible, audible and written inconsistenties?
Woow watching this in 2023...what a weird feeling. Lived 1999, 2013 n well now we here after 2020 covid
Gas evaporates.. tires go flat.. but what the Hell , it’s good entertainment! Love Grandma Debbie
They were not frozen by what looks like a gas.
I have an old Mitsubishi Montero that sat for a decade, when I reconnected the battery and replenished the fuel it started right up. Tires were fine.
This was a good watch
An unexpected gem. The plot and its developments are a non-stop unavoidable watching reaction . From small details to the (excellent) claustrophobic / survival environment, a glimmering sequence of acting, editing and naturally directing. And looking back, all of that 23 yeras ago.. Amazing, great, great global job. That´s one of the strong features of British movie and TV industry - the unexpected becomes a bright constellation. Is there any other hidden "Train" I may find in KZhead? Please send me whatever you found. Thank you.
Red Dwarf comes to mind. 😇😉😁
Lifted & another is Deleted
Invasion Earth may be on KZhead.
Keeps your interest.
This is all over the place. Theres 6 hours ill never get back.
