Edward Woodward
Factory Sealed LP
Series 2 of acclaimed dystonian drama created by Wilfred Greatorex and
starring Edward Woodward set in a nightmarish 1984 style future, where
government bureaucracy has run riot. 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 spy on the
population and impose 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 and the bureaucrats control everything.
Unrest is growing. A pentagon one of a growing number of dissident groups,
prepares to take on the PCD. Jim Kyle (Edward Woodward), journalist for The
Star, continues in his renegade activities against the Establishment. But his
subversive acts aren't going unnoticed and this series sees Lynn Blake, Kyle's
ex-lover, become the new Deputy Controller of the PCD. She's even more
determined to expose his informer and finally get her man. Series One and
Series Two were first broadcast on BBC TWO in 1977 and 1978 to critical
acclaim.
