Here's the first glimpse of Freema Agyeman filming her new role in the remake of classic drama series Survivors.



The show - currently being filmed in Manchester - has been re-developed for the present day by Primeval guru Adrian Hodges. Like the original '70s series, the new version will follow the aftermath of a devastating virus that wipes out most of the world's population.

Freema plays Jenny Collins, a "bright and lively" primary school teacher who has tough decisions to make when caring for her dying flatmate Patricia. In the original show, the character took to the road to escape the chaos in the city - and judging by the teaser shots above, it looks as if Freema's Jenny is facing a similarly epic journey.

Survivors airs on BBC One in late Autumn.
