Just a quick sum up of Doomwatch.

An excellent series whose subjects of science and technology gone wrong are still entirely relevant today. Brilliantly performed with characters you sympathize with, it's just a tragedy (in tv terms) that huge chunks of the first and third series are still missing from the BBC archives following their wiping as was BBC policy back in the sixties and seventies believing they had no further use for series like this, Doctor Who and Dad's Army.

Superb stuff which i'm delighted to now have in my collection, but prepare to be frustrated if you want to follow the ongoing story lines of the characters in series 3 and the shock ending to the first season.
