- Synopsis:
- Dirk Bogarde plays James Marriner, a faded, unhappily married former TV presenter who is persuaded to front the People Channel - a right-wing, evangelical satellite network poised to launch in Europe; determined to recruit "Gentle Jim" as a reassuringly familiar anchorman, the network's steely, seductive boss Grace Gardner (Lee Remick) proves hard to refuse. As the network's first live transmission looms, Marriner, whose personal life is now under surveillance, has become deeply uneasy about its aims. Gardner, however, makes it clear that any attempt to alert viewers to her organisation's true agenda will bring about a devastating retribution.
