Meanwhile, on Moonbase, Nathan spring fires two corrupt cops, Hubble and Kenzy; he then receives a summons from Michael Chandri, a multi-millionaire working on a new surveillance system at <I>Outpost 9</I>. Spring and David Theroux visit the research centre, where Chandri informs them that his new 'intelligent-listening systems' - computers that monitor all broadcasts and decide for themselves on what to report to their users - have detected a plan to hi-jack the Earth-Moon shuttle. Believing the threat to be from an organisation called the Black Hand Gang, Spring returns to Moonbase only to learn of a collision back on Earth between two computer-controlled underground trains. On hearing that the same phrase appeared on the controllers' terminals, Spring realises that the line is a quote from a poem by William Blake - and that Chandri had several books by that author in his office. But as Spring and Theroux rush back to <I>Outpost 9</I> to confront the tycoon, the shuttle in which Pal Kenzy and Star Cop Colin Devis are returning to Earth suddenly becomes the target of a hi-jack attempt... <BR><BR> David Calder (<B>Nathan Spring</B>), Erick Ray Evans (<B>David Theroux</B>), Trevor Cooper (<B>Colin Devis</B>), Linda Newton (<B>Pal Kenzy</B>), David John Pope (<B>Michael Chandri</B>), Trevor Butler (<B>Leo</B>), Thomas Coulthard (<B>Ben</B>), Tara Ward (<B>Shuttle Hostess</B>), Peter Quince (<B>Shift Foreman</B>), Peter Glancy (<B>Process Operator</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by Christopher Baker <BR>Produced by Evgeny Gridneff</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR> 20th July, 1987 @ 8.30 pm <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Nathan Spring, David Theroux, Colin Devis and Pal Kenzy <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
