Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey is a British techno-thriller television serial written by Ron Hutchinson and produced by Michael Wearing and Bernard Krichefski for the BBC in 1982. From its video game-inspired opening titles to its pervasive electronic music track, Bird of Prey went to great lengths to demonstrate its credentials as 'a thriller for the electronic age'. These elements, together with a clever and complex plot that combines a breathless fascination with the still-young field of computing with pan-European fraud, international terrorism, rogue intelligence operatives and organised crime, link it firmly to the early 1980s, expressing that era's growing anxieties about the burgeoning 'Eurocracy'.

This production, originally released in 1982, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 6.7 across its 2 seasons.
