The British Film Institute (BFI) has announced plans<\/a> for the first-ever DVD release of the 1975 post-apocalyptic BBC TV children’s serial The Changes<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The Changes <\/em>is set in then-present-day Britain where people suddenly turn against all technology, plunging the country back to a pre-industrial age of suspicion and superstition. The ten-part series follows schoolgirl Nicky Gore who flees the upheaval and danger of the city and sets out on a journey which develops into a quest to discover the cause of the calamity which has befallen the world.<\/p>\n

Adapted from the Peter Dickinson trilogy, The Weathermonger <\/em>(1968), Heartsease <\/em>(1969) and The Devil’s Children <\/em>(1970), producer Anna Home shot much of The Changes<\/em> on location and on film in and around the Bristol area.<\/p>\n

The Changes<\/em> was first screened on BBC 1 between January and March 1975 – completing its run just a few weeks before the first episode of Survivors<\/em> was transmitted.
