Can you elaborate on which routes have been taken in research? Have you tried IMDB? or wiki?... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivors Try the BBC, surely they have records. And here is the best list of locations I could find. Brecon Beacons, Powys, Wales, UK Callow Hill, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK Derbyshire, England, UK Dorset, England, UK Hereford, Herefordshire, England, UK Hope-under-Dinmore, Herefordshire, England, UK London, England, UK Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England, UK Scotland, UK Shropshire, England, UK Suffolk, England, UK As you say, Newbury doesn't appear in the list, as doesn't a location close to Hitchin in Hertfordshire, I recall the local paper having it has a headline. -------------------- There their, loose loser!

Yes tried everything for the last few years,no information from bbc,we know the werabouts off most locations, I guessed that it might be newbury or around that area, maybe now it's hitchin!! You have given me a new lead! Do you remember the local paper?? Any new info would be great!! Thanks for the reply Regards Steve |

Thanks for the reply Regards Steve The paper was called The Citizen and the location, if I recall, was just outside Hitchin, possibly Pirton, but don't quote me on that. I do definitely remember it was to the west of the town though. -------------------- There their, loose loser!

If it is local, looks like it could be on the Bagnor to Winterbourne road, to me.
Don't quote me on that, though! |
