At the same time, they must contend with new obstacles on a scale beyond any they've experienced before as they unravel the mysteries of the Anomaly. What they encounter on this epic journey pushes them to their limits both physically and emotionally, challenging their long-held conceptions of family, love, and sacrifice.

Well-remembered for its unsettling depiction of a society in meltdown, the 10-part series 'The Changes' was first broadcast on the BBC in early 1975 and is now available on Video for the first time.

When a strange noise is emitted from machinery and electricity pylons, previously placid and easy-going folk violently turn against the technology that surrounds them, ruthlessly attacking radios, TVs and other domestic appliances. In the devastating aftermath, young Nicky Gore (Victoria Williams) is separated from her parents and finds a surrogate home with a group of Sikhs. But they soon are dubbed 'The Devil's Children' by superstitious locals and Nicky is accused of sorcery by a witch-finder. In 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-selling trilogy by Anna Home (who would later 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 Galaxy). The Changes paved the way for the likes of Survivors and The Day of the Triffids and the gritty depiction of a near-apocalyptic world, and its integration of Sikh characters make it as progressive and fascinating now as it was when it was first broadcast.

If anyone's laying down bets, the smart money is against them. All of them.
