I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Ever since watching some old re-runs of the Day of the Triffids on TV. In that case there was no climate change, but there was an absence of human impact for years and I don't think they went far enough. The idea that after many years of neglect someone could still drive 100s of miles across the country.. I wondered if it really would be possible. Just how much would nature reclaim roads? You see how overgrown everything gets if the council relax their grass verge management a little and thats bad enough. I would love to see some sort of CGI guesswork about what everything would look like after 10 or 20 years if we all just vanished. It would be interesting.

Each episode is set a few years on from the last, and civilisation has taken a noticeable step down each time. Imagine a serial that starts like an episode of Eastenders, and the final Episode is like the urban battleground in Children of Men. The very final episode has no people in it at all - it's just 50 minutes of ruins and birdsong. A delicious plummeting of audience rating as an artistic statement! I've been reading "Six Degrees" by Mark Lynas, and still in some shock.
