THE CHANGES (2- DISC DVD SET)
Directed by John Prowse

The long awaited DVD premiere of this influential science-fiction series, which was first broadcast on BBC1 in early 1975. Well remembered for its unsettling depiction of a society in meltdown, The Changes paved the way for the likes of Survivors and Day of the Triffids.

When a strange noise is emitted from machinery and electricity pylons, previously placid and easy-going folk turn violently against the technology that surrounds them ruthlessly attacking radios, TVs and other domestic appliances. In the devastating aftermath, young Nicky Gore (Victoria Williams) is separated from her parents, but finds a surrogate home with a group of Sikhs. But they soon are dubbed 'The Devil's' Children by superstitious locals and Nicky is accused of sorcery by a witchfinder. In grave danger, she is forced to find a way to escape, find her parents and uncover what caused the world to become so unbalanced.

This highly acclaimed series was adapted from Peter Dickinson's best-selling trilogy by Anna Home (who would later become chief executive of the Children's Film and Television Foundation), and features music by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's Paddy Kingsland (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Its gritty depiction of a near-apocalyptic world, and its integration of Sikh characters make it as progressive and fascinating now as it was when it was first broadcast.

5,0 su 5 stelle Fabulous and thought-provoking....
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 novembre 2015

I have to thank my friend Chris for finally solving the riddle of this strange and compelling programme featuring "pylons, a quarry and a weird noise" (and for some reason I still remembered the end credits music), as it had haunted me for decades and I couldn't remember what it was called so had no way of finding out what it was; I certainly tried! In a discussion about Children of the Stones (also fabulous) he mentioned the BBC's The Changes, and the light went on! He was also responsible for letting me know it was being released on DVD, so I owe him an enormous debt of thanks. Cheers Chris! Having finally bought and watched it again, I'm eternally grateful; it's still utterly brilliant and thought-provoking. Parts of it really scared me as a kid, and I was rather surprised to find parts still did as an adult; in fact I'd say that I found the last episode particularly unsettling (in a good way), far more so than I did as a child. All in all though, although it is dated in many obvious ways, it's so superior to pretty much any kids' TV before or after (only Stones really compares) that I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Kudos too to Victoria Williams for her wonderful performance as Nicky Gore; she really carries the series. Simply superb.

5,0 su 5 stelle I imagine like many others

I pre-ordered this series as soon as I discovered BFI were releasing it. I remember watching this, aged 12, when it was originally broadcast, in 1975. I imagine like many others, I had been waiting for a DVD issue of it for many years.

So, when it arrived, I watched every episode in one sitting. It is a remarkable series, with more insight and foresight into issues of environment and race than is found in many adult dramas, even today. At a time when white actors were "blacking up" in series such as "It Ain't Half Hot Mum," to play Asian characters, with producers failing to find roles for real Asian actors, "The Changes" proves how blinkered this attitude was. The Sikh family group are shown as positive characters; they are the ones who listen to other opinions before making decisions and are keen to co-operate with the villagers. They are also seen as kind and welcoming and wanting positive role models for their children.

The environmental issues around the fear of machines and pollution are relevant today, highlighting constantly the need for balance between humans living in harmony and the need for progress. The series, adapted from Peter Dickinson's books, was years, if not decades, ahead of its time.

As far as the DVD goes, BFI have included an excellent, 28-page, booklet on the making of the series. However, as collectors and fans of classic TV have been waiting a long time for this series, the extras are virtually non-existent, just including a short film about Asians adapting to life in Britain and stills galleries. Also, although I am not someone who thinks everything should be HD and pristine - classic TV should retain some of the look of when it was made - nothing at all has been done to clean up the print; this series would definitely have benefited from this.

It is just wonderful, though, to finally have this classic series available on DVD. It is one that, because of the depth of the themes in the story, bears repeated viewing. Many thanks to BFI for releasing it and the many classic BBC TV series that they have released over the last couple of years (M.R. James stories, etc.). I look forward to the original "1984" in November and hope for releases of "The Long Chase" and "Chinese Puzzle," both of which still exist in complete form.

I cannot recommend "The Changes" highly enough; finally a thank-you to Amazon, who e-mailed me on 25/08 to tell me they were delivering the DVD on that day (Bank Holiday!). They also e-mailed me the same afternoon to say that the DVD had been posted through my letterbox. Great service.

A two disc dvd set, which contains all ten episodes of the Changes. A well remembered bbc children's tv drama from 1975. Which was an adaptation of a trilogy of books by writer Peter Dickinson.

All the episodes run for twenty five minutes [approx].

The Changes considers the advance of technology and humanity's relationship with, and dependence on the stuff. And what might happen without it.

All of which comes about rather suddenly. When there's strange weather, and a strange noise, which leads to people smashing machines, in the belief that they are evil. When the noise stops, people lose that feeling.

This is all seen through the eyes of schoolgirl Nicky Gore. Separated from her parents when they join crowds of people trying to get to France, she falls in with a group of Sikhs. But in the new world that has resulted from this, some view them as 'the Devil's children.'

Even worse awaits at the hands of a witch-finder. Can Nicky survive? And what just has caused all this to happen?...

This is one of those tv shows that is very well remembered by those who saw it at the time, and has a reputation which has endured as a result. The picture quality doesn't seem to have been restored, but it's still perfectly watchable, the film just looking a bit grainy during one visual sequence in part ten.

If you remember it well, and have been waiting to see it again for years, then this is going to be a release that will more than satisfy you. If you fit into that category, this is a five star release.

If not, then what might you find?

A show that's a bit of a hybrid, seemmingly on the border between cosy children's tv of old and more grown up dramas. Like Survivors, or the grimmer and more realistic children's dramas that have followed.

It's a show that doesn't quite get going till the midway point. The directing and the pacing take a little getting used to early on. All the actors speak in a way which makes it sound as if they've been dubbed. And although the scenes of people under the grip of the noise are unsettling, the moments when they aren't can be gently paced and lacking menace.

There is one rather staged fight scene that doesn't quite convince, also. Because it seems to be trying to be something suitable for children's tv.

The aforementioned witch finder pops up just before the midway point, and from then on the pacing feels fine. And the level of threat is there. Said character is a superbly three dimensional creation with very believable motivations. But such a fanatic as to be highly annoying.

Although a couple of characters introduced at the same time do have good character arcs with satisfying pay offs.

From this point on it feels like a children's adventure show of the kind they used to make. And becomes a pretty good watch.

So: Five stars for those with good memories. Four stars for new recruits to the programme. But all in all an interesting bit of classic tv, and worth a look.

The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:

Languages: English.

Subtitles; English.

There are a couple of extras.

Disc two has a stills gallery of images from the show.

Disc one has At Home In Britain. A thirty two minute long film made by the central office of information [eight years after the changes] which details the lifes and beliefs of three Indian men who moved to Britain. One Hindu. One Muslim. And one Sikhs. If you don't know anything about those three faiths, then this will teach you a lot. So it is quite a fascinating watch.

Sadly I missed this when first broadcast. Like another reviewer, I watched it all in one sitting.
I cannot really add to the previous reviews. So, I am only going to point out what is, for me, a serious defect. The ending is rather muddled - although the monologue at the end by Nicky Gore does provide some explanation. The reason for this is made obvious in the excellent booklet (the essay on Anna Home); there was simply not enough episodes.
One reviewer made a point about 'extras'. I disagree with this. I think that the booklet explains much about the thinking behind the series and adds greatly to the viewing pleasure. I imagine that few associated with the show would be either willing or able to provide commentaries for episodes, the 'making of' is well explained in the booklet and there is almost certainly no footage for outakes, deleted scenes or a gag reel.

5,0 su 5 stelle A refreshing Change

I watched this when originally broadcast in the 70’s, when I was 13. I watched again in my fifties, and still thought it was brilliant. The storyline is very good, and as a series really stands the test of time. Someone on here criticised it for hippie meanderings, well as a hippie I find that offensive!. But hey, I liked the way the story evolved, such as the way they tried to condemn the main character as a witch, this is typical. My wife watched it with me for the first time when she was in her mid 30’s, and loved it!. Brilliant series
