The #Doomwatch episode about the plastic eating virus was broadcast in the early 70s.
Seems too many people never saw the warning.

The Countdown to Doomwatch is Over!From virulent plastic-eating viruses to computer data collection/profiling nightmares, and from Intelligent, human flesh-eating rats to American age-discrimination business management practices, come join the fun and watch as Doomwatch watches the world unravel.
Doomwatch was a British science fiction TV series (1970–1972) about a secretive government team that investigated the unintended and often terrifying consequences of advanced science and technology on the environment and society. The stories focused on (then) contemporary issues such as pollution, genetic engineering, and industrial malpractice. While often very dated in its societal attitudes, time has shown to to be often almost prescient in its warnings for the future.
Although many episodes of Doomwatch were destroyed by the great BBC videotape purge of the 1970s, from 2011 to 2020, Fusion Patrol reviewed all extant episodes and movies.

I'm just idly watching Doomwatch and thinking there was a good RPG in this. Did anyone do a Doomwatch game?

In the box? Was the newly released Blu-ray #boxset of #classic #DoctorWho’s seventh season.
I’ll encourage younger fans to watch the season: as it’s very different.

Why do I keep thinking about that very first episode of #Doomwatch, the wonderful early 1970s #ScienceFiction series. The 1st episode is called 'The Plastic Eaters' in which an airplane crashes after plastic-eating microbes are accidentally released ....
