and it started out that way. A small group of survivors holed up in an out of the way cottage. Great premise.
Deserted London streets. Nicely spooky.
Two of the UKs best actors...Carlyle and McCormack (okay I remember her fondly from Bravehart).
Re population of a small part of the city. Good, good.
We find that Rage can be carried but not active. Excellent.

Predictably, after being told that all the infected had died, we knew it had to resurface. The carrier had to spread it one way or another. Unfortunately, after it's transmitted, it all got a little to formulaic.
