Utterly brilliant. If you haven't seen it before then do watch the whole series. It may be over 40 years old, but its still as relevant as ever.
The opening piece about the fragility of our modern technostructure was eye-opening when I first saw it and still packs a punch today. And especially right now.
Spooky co-incidence: the initial pieces to camera were made from the World Trade Centre. Then in the sequence on the power cut he talks about Scandinavian Flight Nine-Eleven being in danger of hitting the towers of down-town NY.
Also in Episode 4, look at the size of that military sat-nav! For bonus points, type the coordinates into Google Earth to see where he is sitting.
- corpMaverick 7y agoIs it really that old? I remember seeing it in the 90s and it didn't look that old. I loved it, I wish there was a remake or something similar more current. May be someone can add commentary on the old series updating it with current knowledge. I would watch that.
