Episode list

Ten years after Britain is hit by a nuclear strike Tim, Suze and their little girl Laura emerge from their shelter to find other signs of life. They encounter a group of survivors led by foul-mouthed jive-talking Oscar, Suze's childhood sweetheart. Against the wishes of jealous Tom the family joins the commune but soon Tom and Oscar are vying for supremacy after Tom learns that Suze made out with Oscar.

Having bested Oscar Tom enjoys being the group's new leader until discovers the fights to the death for cereals and the resultant cannibalism, condoned by a strange doctor. Suze however becomes very popular, both as the tribe's school-teacher and as a heroine when she kills a bunch of marauders. She also suggests that to end the power struggle between Tom and Oscar the group should be ruled by committee.

With supplies running low Tom and Oscar lead a foraging party to the nearest supermarket, which is deserted except for Stevie Giggle, Tom's favourite children's personality, who has just eaten his partner Sammy. They are attacked by Spectrum, a fearsome gang of female cannibals who kill some of the group with bows and arrows. Laura and tribe member Felix ride to the rescue but Oscar is left behind.

When the children start to turn green there are fears of nuclear contamination though the doctor claims to have the antidote and will heal Laura if Tom sleeps with him. In fact the doctor has put a dye in the water system in order to have his way with Tom and when this is discovered the camp takes appropriate revenge on him whilst Tom is shocked at a revelation from the butch Felix.

Tom is not happy when Suze's mother Cathy arrives at the camp with her new man Pete, Tom's former gym teacher, who used to bully him and still continues to do so.

Suze and Felix launch a rescue party whilst Laura provides her own m escape plan. However the battle is still on for Tom and Oscar to gain Alpha male supremacy.
