The show depicting Manchester plagued by an unknown virus was broadcast a decade before the real-life pandemic
A nightmare world of a post-plague Manchester was depicted in a now largely forgotten TV show cancelled over 10-years.
As civilisation crashes, broadcast media goes off the air and the National Grid shuts down, leaving the country in darkness. With 99 per cent of the population dead, a fire burns out of control in Spinningfields while the lawless streets are places of debris and disease. During the real-life pandemic in 2020, a story was published in The Guardian describing the show as both prescient and "ahead of its time." The show's creator, Adrian Hodges, said: "I couldn’t watch that first season again. It’s too harrowing. It’s so close to what we’re going through now."
