Review: Survivors 1.4

This is certainly the most lacklustre episode of Series One. It's got a lazy storyline that doesn't really advance any interesting plotlines, and some of the breaks in logic present in the episode mean that the whole thing is a little difficult to watch.
          Our first, rather dull storyline, concerns Abby, who at the end of the last episode was told of a large house run by runaway children. She heads down there and meets, along the way, a man who's been fighting with the children, as it was his country home that they now live in. They bond, and he helps her to find the kids because she thinks one of them is PEh-TER!!!! By god, that screaming is getting annoying by this point. Oh, and they go skinny dipping. It's only been a month since her husband died, and already she's swimming nude with a man she's known for a few hours! Anyway, the child isn't Peter (who'd have known) and everyone lives happliy etc.
     The secondary storyline, which is more interesting if just as stupid, regards Al, Tom, Anya, Sarah and Najid taking up residence in Samantha's commune. They seem to be fine, but Al, being a lazy, unlikable bum, is unhappy with the commune's strict work guidelines, and isn't really up the whole Communist utopia thing. So, he leaves, and for some godawful reason, all of the other survivors go too. WHY? It isn't like Al hasn't got a place to stay, because Greg's still back at the house. Their decision, to completely shun their more comfortable existence for one lazy bastard, is not so much admirable as downright braindead.
    Looking for some positives, there are some ok chase scenes between the forest man and the boys, and good tension between ex-con Tom and Samantha. But otherwise, it's just this mess. Not unwatchable, by any stretch, but nonsensical.
