THE CHANGES (2 DlSC DVD SET)
Directed by John Prowse
The Iong awaited DVD premiere of this influentiaI science-fiction series, which was first broadcast on BBC1 in earIy 1975. WeII remembered for its unsettling depiction of a society in meItdown, 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 WiIIiams) is separated from her parents, but finds a surrogate home with a group of Sikhs. But they soon are dubbed 'The DeviI'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 worId to become so unbaIanced.
This highly acclaimed series was adapted from Peter Dickinson's best-selIing 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-apocalyptic worId, and its integration of Sikh characters make it as progressive and fascinating now as it was when it was first broadcast.
