Play for Tomorrow(1982)

Play for Tomorrow is a British science fiction anthology series that aired on BBC1 in 1982. Spun off from the successful drama strand Play for Today, the six-episode run explores visions of life in the near future, set toward the end of the 20th century or the dawn of the 21st. Each standalone episode presents a distinct speculative scenario, examining how technological and social change might reshape everyday existence. The series emerged from the critical success of The Flipside of Dominick Hide and continues that tradition of thought-provoking, imaginative storytelling. With its focus on character-driven narratives set against futuristic backdrops, Play for Tomorrow captures the BBC's commitment to intelligent science fiction drama during the early 1980s.
