Extra notes on cover, middle (gatefold sleeve) and any inserts

The tripods is based on a trilogy of novels by John Christopher. The year is 2089 - but the style of life on earth is more reminiscent of 1789. There are no great cities now; people live in small country villages where the pace of everyday life is dictated by the only means of power - the horse. The tripods have ruled mankind through the dreaded 'cap' for over one hundred years and have evil plans for his total destruction, but the uncapped free-thinking children of the world have their own plans.

Can they destroy the tripods ? Will they be able to save the world ?

The series stars John Shackley, Jim Baker and Ceri Seel and is produced by Richard Bates.
Record production by Ken Freeman.
