Timely tale of the way our world is going., 26 October 2002
Author: HyperPup from United States

It only takes a show like this to show us how much freedom we take for granted. I have never seen this series, I merely stumbled upon it while doing a search on Edward Woodward, but I had to stop and pause. How prescient it is that I would find this. Many will scoff and say hey it cannot happen here. I beg to differ, it was only a few short years ago when President Clinton proposed the national Identity Card, think about how many times your Social Security number is used for things other than its intended purpose. Soundex number on a drivers license, school ID number. What else? Camera's are going up everywhere and who really gets the video feeds from all these CCtv devices? And don't even get me started on Verichips and Digital Angel. It only takes a few of us to sit by, stop thinking and do nothing for this to happen. I personally wish the BBC woud bring this series to DVD both for sale at home and abroad, we need it. To remind ourselves, that one man's security is another man's prison.
