BBC Drama starring Edward Woodward - Britain, 1990. The country is run by the bureaucrats of the Home Office's all-powerful Public Control Department (PCD). Hundreds of thousands of civil servants work hard at monitoring and exposing all possible and imaginary threats to the country. They routinely command sophisticated surveillance of anyone suspected of opposing the status quo; ruthless suppression of independent thought in Special State brainwashing units cunningly disguised as caring rest-homes; and strict rationing of food, alcohol, and travel. Free speech is forbidden. The rule of law no longer protects the vulnerable. Civil liberties are consigned to history as the Orwellian bureaucrats tyrannically impose their intimidating control. Jim Kyle (Edward Woodward), journalist for The Star, resists the forces of the Establishment. He's smart, witty and charming. But his subversive acts aren't going unnoticed, and he risks prison or death at the hands of the PCD s ruthless controller Herbert Skardon, (Robert Lang), and his provocatively alluring deputy, Delly Lomas (Barbara Kellerman). Series One and Series Two were first broadcast on BBC TWO in 1977 and 1978 to critical acclaim. The series was never released on video or DVD until now.
