* ImperiledInPregnancy: In "The Future Hour", the heavily pregnant Laura Foster runs away from the community led by her [[CommonLawMarriage common law husband]] Bernard Huxley. He intends to give away her baby, who was conceived before the plague outbreak, as he doesn't want to raise another man's child. With the help of her friend Norman, Laura makes her way to the Grange and is given sanctuary. However, Huxley finds out that she is there and says that he and his men will launch an attack if Laura is not returned to him by 10 o'clock the following morning. Laura and Norman sneak out of the Grange in the middle of the night but they don't get very far as she goes into labour. Greg brings her back to the house, where the baby is safely delivered.

* GuiltByCoincidence: In "Law and Order", the Grange has a party in celebration of May Day. Almost all of the adult members of the community, in particular Tom and the intellectually impaired Barney, drink heavily. Throughout the night, Barney is very attentive towards Wendy, which some of the others see as pestering. As she goes up to bed, Tom tries to force himself on her. When she runs away, he follows her into her room. The next morning, she is found dead, having been stabbed. The murderer is Tom, who hides a knife under a floorboard, but the chief suspect is Barney, who is hunting in the forest. Greg, Tom, Paul and Arthur search for him. Tom manages to find him first and warns him that he must get away as fast as possible since the others think that he killed Wendy. However, he is caught by Greg and Paul and blurts out that he didn't do it, which is taken to mean that he did not kill Wendy. As far as any of the others knew, the only way that he could have know that Wendy was dead was if he had killed her. Furthermore, he is found with a bloodied arrow in his possession. He used it to kill a rabbit but the others suspect that the blood belongs to Wendy. The nine remaining adults (including Tom) put him on trial. By a margin of six to three, he is found guilty with diminished responsibility. After the verdict, the community considers banishing him but Greg argues that he must be executed. The group then votes on these two options. Greg, Paul, Vic and Arthur vote for execution while Jenny, Emma, Charmian and the guilt-ridden Tom vote for banishment. Having the deciding vote, Abby votes for his execution. The five men draw straws to decide who shall shoot him. Greg gets the short straw. After Barney's death, Tom can no longer contain his guilt and shows Abby and Greg the knife. Greg nearly kills Tom but Abby stops him. The two of them decide to keep Tom's guilt a secret from the others, both because they think that Tom would be lynched and because they need every remaining hand.

* SexForServices: In "Starvation", Tom Price tells both Abby and Wendy that he will obtain food for them in exchange for payment. It is never stated outright that he means sex. However, the starving Wendy's refusal of his offer and the mock seductive way in which Abby speaks to Tom during her successful attempt to trick him into entering his van make it abundantly clear what Tom was talking about.

As the the fourth son of the 13th Earl of Waterhouse, he was never expected to inherit the title so he indulged his passion for travel and adventure by going on these trips as well as joining the Army. Abby says that he should have been born 200 years earlier but Jimmy tells her that he is ideally suited to the post-plague world and that he could not have invented a situation more to his liking.

His ultimate goal is make contact with other settlements throughout Britain. His compound will be the central hub through which all of these settlements will be administered. Abby compares it to the way in which feudal barons ruled. Wormley counters that feudalism eventually led to the development of the British system of government, which he considers the best in the world. He later claims that the government declaration of martial law gives him the authority to execute a retired colonel who led an attack on his compound, which resulted in the death of one of his men.

He wants everyone to move out of the main house, take up residence in the cottages on the estate, pay him rent and swear their loyalty to him as lord of the manor. As she did in "Genesis", Abby compares this to the feudal system. In reality, however, Jimmy merely wants Waterhouse to be a functioning estate again with him as an arbiter as opposed to a ruler. He assures Abby that everyone would have a say in the running of the community.

Jenny and Abby warn the children not to play with Ben if he does return as he may have rabies. However, Greg tells them that it is alright since Barney, who was bitten by one of them, would be the showing symptoms of rabies by now. Ben rejoins the survivors at the end of the episode.

* DepopulationBomb: Both versions involve a plague that wipes out more than 99% of the world's population. In the original series episode "Corn Dolly", Charles estimates that only 1 person in every 5,000 survived.



* BabyFactory: In "Corn Dolly", Charles believes that the British Isles' post-plague population, which he estimates at approximately 10,000, is so small that they may all die out within two or three generations. To prevent this from happening, he impregnates four of the women in his community, Lorraine, Isla, Tessa and Florence, and wants to do the same to Abby. Abby, Jenny and Greg are appalled and decide to leave and never come back. Charles tries to convince Jenny to remain and have a baby with Greg or any other man. He is desperate as Tessa and Florence both died from eating diseased fish and he is not certain whether Lorraine and Isla's pregnancies will be viable but his pleas fall on deaf ears.

Dave Long, a lackey of Arthur Wormley whom Abby previously met in "Genesis", says that they didn't actually kill him, having merely found the body down the road. He notes that it is a more effective deterrent than putting up a "Keep Out" sign.

-->-- '''Abby Grant''', version 2.0

Originally a 1975 post-apocalyptic drama created by Creator/TerryNation for Creator/TheBBC. It ran for three seasons (the second and third without Nation's involvement), then was "re-imagined" and re-launched in 2008, this time lasting two seasons before being canceled. Officially, the new series was based on an original-series novelization which Nation wrote. In 2014, Big Finish Productions started producing an audio drama series based on and taking place alongside the 1975 series, including crossovers with the original cast.

Both versions are set in the then-present day and depict the aftermath of a virulent [[ThePlague disease]]-generally just called 'The Death' in the original, identified in the remake as 'European Flu'-being released from a laboratory and wiping out 99% of the human race. A disparate band of [[TheImmune survivors]] is thrown together and must now face the struggle of a dangerous life with no society, police or government.

Both versions are set in the then-present day and depict the aftermath of a virulent [[ThePlague disease]] — generally just called 'The Death' in the original, identified in the remake as 'European Flu' - being released from a laboratory and wiping out 99% of the human race. A disparate band of [[TheImmune survivors]] is thrown together and must now face the struggle of a dangerous life with no society, police or government. (Although in both versions there eventually appear people who Have Ideas about that last one..)

* KangarooCourt: Samantha Willis runs this as a matter of course. In the first case, she convicts and sentences to death a looter without even hearing any evidence, then immediately shoots her. Next, when Tom's the one on trial, again no actual evidence gets heard-Abby, who's acting as his lawyer, is not allowed to question the sole witness against him. She's already arranged it so enough jurors will vote him guilty beforehand for a majority verdict, but when this doesn't work, Willis just dismisses them and convicts Tom anyway. He's then {{made a slave}} as punishment.
