Samenvatting:

On Monday, 9 February 1970, a new television series made its debut on BBC1. Taking modern life and technology as a springboard, "Doomwatch" presented a weekly dose of thrills as a small group investigated and made safe threats from everything from a plastic eating virus to killer rats and bombs! Indeed the very name of the series has become synonymous with imagined or real threats to human life from technology, nature and science.This is the story of "Doomwatch". From its origins in 1968, through its rocky production with many disagreements between production staff, to an eventual film and cancellation in 1972.Includes full transmission details and notes on every story, details of unmade scripts, and the spin-off books and film.‘Truly an excellent reference work.’ Amazon Review
