The Changes

A ten-part children's drama series, adapted by Anna Home from the novel by Peter Dickinson. First shown in January 1975, it was among the first BBC dramas to show how our society would break down following a mass trauma, when people find themselves compelled to reject and destroy technology. This activity was supposedly provoked by sound waves coming from electricity pylons. Schoolgirl Nicky Gore (Victoria Williams) is separated from her parents in the chaos and the series follows her attempts to find them.
