The Radio Times Guide to Science Fiction:

"Called Cruel Earth in the US, this six-part series starred Nicola Walker, Amita Dhiri, Steve Huison, James Hazeldine, Zoe Telford, Christopher Fulford, Treva Etienne and Janet Dale as passengers on a train from London to Sheffield. As the train goes through a tunnel, a massive meteorits hits the Earth almost destroying it. When the passengers eventually emerge from the tunnel they are faced with the perils of contaminated water, acid rain, no food and feral dogs. As drama, The Last Train treads the same territory as Survivors and quickly falls into the same mistakes: life is very boring in post-holocaust England, and once you get past the standard tropes, there seems little left on which to hang successive episodes."

Emily Prothero:

I think that The Last Train should be put in the film and TV list, if only for the sake of completeness and to point out that there is no decent sc-fi TV being made in the UK today. If you've never seen it it's a collection of inept 2D characters who seem to deal with their condition in the most dim way possible, using generic cliches and tired narrative concepts, and the ending gets silly and twee. It's almost painful to watch, but only in a cringeworthy sense, rather than the depression which can be induced by Threads (watched some of it in a lecture - its grim). I found a review of it (I'm doing an essay on it - and saying its rubbish) at:
