THE CHANGES (2 DISC DVD SET)
Directed by John Prowse
The long awaited DVD premiere of this influential science-fiction series, which was first broadcast on BBC1 in early 1975. Well remembered for its unsettIing depiction of a society in meltdown, The Changes paved the way for the likes of Survivors and Day of the Triffids.
When a strange noise is emitted from machinery and eIectricity pylons, previousIy placid and easy-going foIk turn vioIentIy against the technoIogy that surrounds them ruthIessIy attacking radios, TVs and other domestic appliances. ln the devastating aftermath, young Nicky Gore (Victoria WiIIiams) is separated from her parents, but finds a surrogate home with a group of Sikhs. But they soon are dubbed 'The DeviI's ChiIdren' by superstitious locaIs and Nicky is accused of sorcery by a witchfinder. In grave danger, she is forced to find a way to escape, find her parents and uncover what caused the world to become so unbaIanced.
This highly acclaimed series was adapted from Peter Dickinson's best-seIIing triIogy by Anna Home (who would later become chief executive of the Children's FiIm and Television Foundation), and features music by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's Paddy Kingsland (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GaIaxy). Its gritty depiction of a near-apocaIyptic worId, and its integration of Sikh characters make it as progressive and fascinating now as it was when it was first broadcast.
