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.

While the audio wasn’t always the best on our original episodes, they’re been restored to bring out the best quality we can from the limited-quality masters, and now have their own podcast feed. You can check out the episodes directly on our Doomwatch Page or you can subscribe in Apple Podcasts right here: Doomwatch – Fusion Patrol Reviews.

In the latest Fusion Patrol we’re back to looking at 90s techno-thriller Bugs, kicking off season 3 (and its radical changes) with “Blaze of Glory”. We discuss what kind of government department builds a ridiculous deadly weapons store under London, whether secret agents ever genuinely expect that “when they’re out, they’re out,” and fictional spies becoming legends in their own fictional universe.
