It remains one of the most acclaimed made-for-television movies ever. Nominated for seven prizes, winner of four awards, including Best Single Drama at the **BAFTA Awards**. *"It's the accumulation of horrific detail that appalls and truly scares us - not just the putrefying bodies but the severing of civilization's entire network, modern man trapped in modernity's ashes." - Rick Groen, **Globe and Mail***
