Was that like The Sullivans ?

Was that like The Sullivans ?

Nah. It was "a series based on the funny, fantastic and exciting experiences of the remarkable Twist family who try to get away from it all by leaving the city to make their new home in a lighthouse on the rugged Australian coast. It's here that the Twist kids discover some unpredictable ghosts and monsters."

The theme tune was ace.

1990.....

The series is set in a dystopian future in which Britain is under the grip of the Home Office's Department of Public Control (PCD), a tyrannically oppressive bureaucracy riding roughshod over the population's civil liberties.

Edward Woodward plays Jim Kyle, a journalist on the last independent newspaper called The Star, who turns renegade and begins to fight the PCD covertly. The officials of the PCD, in turn, try to provide proof of Kyle's subversive activities.


A bit too much like 2009 - Piers Morgan plays Jim Kyle....???

Or maybe not....




NB... I wonder why the BBC haven't released it on DVD?
