Embedded Files
British children's science fiction TV series based on a trilogy of novels by Peter Dickinson, adapted and produced by Anna Home for the BBC. The series was directed by John Prowse and first aired in 1975.
A noise emanating from all machinery and technology causes the population of Britain to destroy them. The resulting upheaval displaces many people and reverts society to a pre-industrial age where there is a deep suspicion of anyone who may be harbouring machinery. The Changes are seen through the eyes of teenage schoolgirl Nicky Gore (Victoria Williams), and the 10-part series traces Nicky's quest to reunite with her parents and solve the mystery.
Williams was the only actor credited as appearing in all episodes.
The theme and incidental music, composed by Paddy Kingsland, combines the sound of an EMS Synthi 100 synthesiser with a small live band (horn, sitar and percussion).
