The Roads to Freedom

In 1970 the BBC made a superb series of Jean-Paul Satre's trilogy 'The Roads to Freedom'.

It has now been discovered that the BBC still have the tapes and could re-show this series or (IMHO) better still put it on DVD for sale.

Please support the campaign to have the series re-shown/committed to DVD by signing the petition at the following link:

Tell your friends and family. This series should not be left to languish in a vault - speak out now!


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roads_to_Freedom

The following extract is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"The Roads to Freedom is a series of novels by Jean-Paul Sartre... written largely in response to the events of World War II and the Nazi occupation of France, and... considered to be semi-autobiographical.

The novel series was adapted into a thirteen-part television serial by David Turner for the BBC in 1970, with Michael Bryant as Mathieu. The adaptation was nominated for several BAFTA awards for 1970.^"

What is it that makes zombies so appealing?

In whatever form you imagine them, zombies are like that nightmare that keeps coming back, the one that has you biting your nails and fighting off sleep, until you fall into a fitful pit of slumber. They are every human anxiety rolled into one: fear of disease, of death, of being controlled, of losing everything and everybody. Zombies are the ultimate guilt trip – unstoppable revenge hunting you down for all those bad things you did. Now you have to do more bad things to stop them getting you.

Zombies make the most dramatic enemies. They can kill you or infect you in so many revolting and interesting ways. Then there's that disgusting green slime they secrete, and the horrendous smell of them, and the drool. Oh, yeugh!

All you can do is shoot at them or blow them up. You could whack 'em with a length of two by two but unless you're really pushed in a corner you don't want to be near enough to rely on close combat: that darned blood and slime is so infectious. If that's not bad enough, they just keep right on coming at you, until they don't have the legs to run or the hands to gouge with!

Zombies are so plausible. My own zombie stories came out of illegal bioweapons research right here in sunny southern England (in fact it's been real zombie weather today with fog, fine rain and a leaden overcast). I was only going to write the one story but then folks kept asking for more and now there are four. Right here I have to confess, I'm not a hardcore fan of gruesome zombie stories - and I do like a happy ending! Feel-good zombies stories from the UK, who'd have thought it?

Four 5* reviews:
- "A wonderful tale!" Thor Farrow
- "Although I rave about the technical aspects of this story, the story itself is about two reconstituted adult pioneers' struggle to understand the new world into which they have been reborn." Phil Chen
- "From the detailed descriptions of the world itself - the geography, the technology used to explore it, and how it works - it seems that the author must know the place and be reporting back to us." Helen Smith
- "The only disappointment was when it ended, and now I have to wait for another." Rose Collum


Passengers to Zeta Nine
Raife and Doctor Nancy Zing’s electronic DNA records and mind patterns have been travelling for one hundred and twenty years.
