Did anybody else sit through the drama on the Beeb called, 'The Last Enemy'? I thought it was disturbingly prophetic, and raised many of the doubts expressed on this thread.
Benedict Cumberbatch, Max Beesley and Bafta-winner Anamaria Marinca are caught up in a love triangle in The Last Enemy, a visionary new thriller for BBC One from Box TV.
Also starring Robert Carlyle, David Harewood, Eva Birtwistle and Geraldine James, The Last Enemy takes an arresting and compelling look at how technology could transform Britain into a surveillance society – threatening human relationships and destroying trust.
The five-part contemporary drama, by acclaimed screenwriter Peter Berry (Prime Suspect 6, Kiszko – A Life For A Life), follows a group of characters - including a scientist, an aid worker and a desperate father - who are each trying to deal with crises in their own lives when they unwittingly get caught up in a global mystery.
Producer Gub Neal says: "The Last Enemy is an emotional odyssey about a man in search of the truth of what happened to his brother, and to his society. It's a cautionary tale about technology, with identity cards, biometric tests and armed police becoming an everyday presence in our lives.
"It's predictive, rather than science fiction, because CCTV cameras and loyalty cards mean we are already being monitored."
