The Changes (BBC 1975)

[racine]

The Changes was a BBC TV series first broadcast early in 1975. The enduring image for me is of menacing power pylons that emit an unbearable penetrating sound; the noise. All over England the noise is compelling people to destroy cars, televisions; in fact everything technological. After The Changes even the words for all these creations of the modern age; 'car', 'tractor', 'electricity', 'toaster', 'pylon', etc. have become taboo. Just to mention them brings on the noise and the uncontrollable anger against machines again. These items of modern technology are described by people, including the central character Nicky, as cursed.
The series was intriguingly prophetic given the 1990's phenomenon of civil disobedience against road-making machinery, power pylons and similar forms of environmental direct action. And it drew an distinction between sustainable and non-sustainable practices before the word was invented.
Repeated on terrestrial television in 1976, and gracing the UK Gold schedules in the mid-1990s, the series is long sought-after by archive television enthusiasts.The series has never been released on either VHS or DVD and there are currently no plans to do so.
