The Power Game(1965)

The Power Game is a British drama series that spins off from The Plane Makers, following Sir John Wilder as he navigates ruthless corporate politics and complex personal relationships. Patrick Wymark reprises his role as the ambitious executive, whose scheming and power plays drive the narrative through three seasons of boardroom intrigue. Broadcast on ITV, the series captures the cutthroat world of high-stakes business in 1960s Britain, where loyalty is scarce and ambition runs deep. Wilder's relentless pursuit of control creates tension both at work and at home, as his professional machinations increasingly entangle with his private life. The show explores themes of corruption, manipulation, and the personal cost of climbing the corporate ladder.
