A new serial in nine parts by Stephen Barlay
Starring Ian Hendry as Maxon and Toby Robins as Jacqueline
with George Coulouris as Ellsberg, Paul Hardwick as the Nachalnik and Alan Tilvern as Locke

A disc jockey plays a golden oldie from the big band era: Glenn Miller's "In the Mood". Everything is easy. Then out of a clear blue sky comes the warning of death. Universal death. America's new Early Warning System announces an approaching nuclear missile from outer space.

(Stuart Milligan is in 'Marilyn!' at the Adelphi Theatre, London)

Community Arts Centre, Merthyr Tydfil. Research
