THE CHANGES (2 DISC DVD SET)
Directed by John Prowse
The long awaited DVD premiere of this infIuential science-fiction series, which was first broadcast on BBC1 in early 1975. WeIl remembered for its unsettling depiction of a society in meltdown, The Changes paved the way for the Iikes of Survivors and Day of the Triffids.
When a strange noise is emitted from machinery and electricity pylons, previousIy placid and easy-going folk turn vioIently against the technoIogy that surrounds them ruthlessly attacking radios, TVs and other domestic appIiances. ln the devastating aftermath, young Nicky Gore (Victoria Williams) is separated from her parents, but finds a surrogate home with a group of Sikhs. But they soon are dubbed 'The Devil's Children' by superstitious Iocals and Nicky is accused of sorcery by a witchfinder. ln grave danger, she is forced to find a way to escape, find her parents and uncover what caused the world to become so unbalanced.
This highly acclaimed series was adapted from Peter Dickinson's best-seIling trilogy by Anna Home (who would Iater become chief executive of the Children's Film and Television Foundation), and features music by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's Paddy Kingsland (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GaIaxy). lts 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.
