Documentary film-maker Steve Jackson inadvertently captures footage of Sarin gas being transported into an unnamed African nation for use against the majority population. The regime's agents trail Jackson to London with orders to retrieve the film at any cost. Jackson's attempts to evade them and to use the film politically result only in tragedy.
Another interesting entry in the BBC's long-running Play for Today anthology series; stand-alone dramas which often proved controversial. Number on End is a thriller by nature and is filmed as such. The plot hints at a greater conspiracy with Jackson as an unwitting dupe. Ultimately well-served by its performances, direction and location filming.
