Sci-Fi to re-air 'Last Train'

Sci-fi UK has picked up the rights to re-air apocalyptic drama The Last Train.

The six-part series, originally broadcast on ITV in 1999, follows a group of survivors looking for answers after a meteorite wipes out most of the British population.

The cult show drew ratings of over 9 million on its first airing and has long been the subject of a forum petition for a repeat showing.

Sci-Fi has yet to confirm an exact slot for the series, although it is expected to air as part of the channel's New Year lineup.
