A three-part series of films shown in the award-winning series.

Tonight's first programme is introduced by Malcolm Muggeridge, who claims that 'previews of the future are invariably wrong, for one simple reason. Because in envisaging the future, we cannot but project the present.'

Whether he's right or wrong, tonight's attempts to look at the shape of things to come include: building by computer; the dance of the iron filings; a journey into the human brain; heart man Christiaan Barnard and his critics; an investigation into the possible consequences of eating Chinese food; and a short, sharp jaunt on a lunar scooter.

by Piers Paul Read
with Clive Revill as Hermann Boff, Caroline Blakiston as Matilda Boff, Donald Douglas as Adrian Brinton

Three men who have kept apart since their lives interacted violently in Germany five years ago meet unexpectedly one evening in Sloane Square - a coincidence?

Tonight's Wednesday Play is by novelist Piers Paul Read. His first television excursion is an exciting drama of political intrigue set in cold-war Germany. A Germany where a young English diplomat finds himself hopelessly ill-equipped to combine the games of love and party politics.

"A polished production." (Daily Telegraph)
"Acting, direction and music were excellent." (Dennis Potter, Sun)
"Mr. Read's complex interweaving of neo-Nazi aspirations with the stuffiest and silliest sort of English Establishment snobbery was skilful." (Sunday Times)
