Synopsis

TV Sci-fi drama/documentary, which caused world-wide headlines when first broadcast as it purported to show a link between Britain’s ‘brain-drain’, climate change and a human colony on Mars.

Our take

Causing ripples when it was first broadcast in 1977, this hoax British “documentary” makes spurious links between climate change, a group of disappearing scientists, and a human colony on Mars. Think Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” crossed with Dr. Who. But wait, is there life on Mars?
