Sci-fi thriller from director Richard Clabaugh, set in a
future-world where mobile security cameras, commissioned to protect
citizens, become a grave threat. New legislation has been passed in
the USA called the 'Freedom of Observation Act', allowing
government surveillance cameras to film people's every move. The
cameras, or eyeborgs, seem to be doing their jobs, until police
agent, R.J. 'Gunner' Reynolds (Adrian Paul) and punk-rock rebel
Jarett start to notice people are disappearing and the robots are
involved. The pair must find a way to go to Jarett's uncle, the
President, and put an end to the silent tyranny of the robots.
By examining the book, the play and the film, Choose Life, Choose
Leith both critically analyses the Trainspotting phenomenon in its
various forms, and contextualises the importance of the location of
Leith and the culture of 1980s Britain. Looking in detail at the
history of Leith, the drug culture, the spread of HIV/AIDs, and how
Trainspotting affected drug policy, Leith and the Scottish
Identity, the book highlights the importance of Trainspotting.
Choose Life, Choose Leith acts as a reference book, a record of the
times and a background as to the history that led to the real-life
situation and the publication of the book.
Tim Bell was the original 'spin doctor'; the Chairman of Bell
Pottinger public relations, and one of the best known figures in UK
media communications. Right or Wrong is his highly personal account
of political, commercial and social life from the '70s to the
present day. With a refreshingly uncompromising manner, Bell
applies his acerbic wit and resolutely right wing sensibility to
everything from managing Margaret Thatcher's election campaigns to
his dealings with Ronald Reagan, F.W. de Klerk, the Saatchi
brothers, and his late friend David Frost, to name a few. Born into
a resolutely middle-class suburban family during the war, he left
school at the age of 18 for a job as chart-boy at ABC Television.
Rising through the ranks of the burgeoning West End advertising
industry, in 1970 he became a co-founder of the Saatchi &
Saatchi agency. Bell's main claim to fame, however, was developing
campaigns for the Conservative Party during the general elections
of 1979, 1983 and 1987, each of which put Margaret Thatcher into
Downing Street, and for which he was awarded a knighthood. In his
time, he worked with some of the greatest names of modern politics,
business, and media and on world events, historical and
controversial alike. First hand memories spill across the pages as
Tim Bell gives his ring-side account of key political moments such
as the miner's strike, the Cold War, the poll tax riots, the end of
Apartheid and the demise of Margaret Thatcher. Controversial,
irreverent and outspoken, this is a book that is as polarising as
Tim Bell was himself. It attracted admiration and rage in equal
measure. And he would not have had it any other way. Right or Wrong
was shortlisted for the Political Biography of the Year in the
Political Book Awards 2015.

Falconer is drafted in by a community Policeman to help search for
