Number Discontinued adapted by BARRY CAMPBELL from the novel Sorry, Wrong Number by MARGARET SIMPSON and This country in the not too distant future: everybody is registered by a number in one central computer. Jonny Lawler is a young hospital doctor who has worked out a risky but so far effective way of protecting those of his patients who have lost their numbers. But when a colleague calls him in to see the victim of a' car crash, he finds himself unwittingly in conflict with another form of manipulation of the system.
