A father's worst fears come true in this apocalyptic
political thriller, one of the best and most influential
British TV series ever made. Investigating his
daughter's murder, a Yorkshire police officer follows
clues into a murky world of nuclear espionage and
cover-ups. Part crime drama, part science fiction,
and 100% terrifying. Winner of six BAFTA® Awards,
including best drama series. "Like a radioactive Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" - Evening Standard.
Bob Peck, perhaps best known to American audiences
as game warden Robert Muldoon in JURASSIC PARK,
portrays a police inspector obsessed with solving his
daughter's murder. His investigation leads him not
only into his own past but into subversive anti-
government groups, international intelligence
conspiracies, and globalist elitism.
This brilliant program, produced in 1986, goes beyond
the Cold War and successfully predicts the darker
side of globalism, the rise of New Age, pagan belief
systems, and the government paranoia which keeps
"The X-Files" in business.
Another plus is Joanne Whalley-Kilmer as the murdered
girl, who keeps appearing and conversing with her
father. This cleverly serves not only an expository
device, externalizing for the viewer the motivations
and rationales behind one man's solitary mission,
but also reminds us how unbalanced Peck's character
truly is. This is an intelligent, thought-provoking
program that only improves upon further viewings.
As extra an isolated score.
Among the many extra's is a special one. It's the
Music Only Audio Option to isolate the Eric Clapton/
Michael Kamen BAFTA-winning score!
