dbpprop:abstract
  • Edge of Darkness is a British television drama serial, produced by BBC Television in association with Lionheart Television International and originally broadcast in six fifty-five minute episodes in late 1985. A mixture of crime drama, political thriller, and science fiction, it revolves around the efforts of policeman Ronald Craven to unravel the truth behind the brutal killing of his daughter Emma. Craven's investigations soon lead him into a murky world of Government and corporate cover-ups and nuclear espionage, pitting him against dark forces that threaten the future of life on Earth. Writer Troy Kennedy Martin was greatly influenced by the political climate of the time – particularly the Thatcher administration, perceived by many on the left as reactionary, and the aura of secrecy surrounding the nuclear industry – and by the implications of the Gaia hypothesis of environmentalist James Lovelock, crafting a thriller that mingled real world concerns with mythic and mystical elements. Kennedy Martin's original ending was more fantastic than that eventually used in the finished serial, proposing that Craven would turn into a tree but this was vetoed by other members of the cast and crew. First broadcast on BBC2, Edge of Darkness was met with such widespread critical acclaim that within days it had earned a repeat on BBC1. Winner of several prestigious awards, it remains highly regarded to this day, often cited as one of the best and most influential pieces of British television drama ever made. The series' director, Martin Campbell is filming a remake for release in 2010, starring Mel Gibson.
  • Na krawędzi mroku (ang. Edge of Darkness) - brytyjski 6-odcinkowy serial telewizyjny z 1985 roku, wyemitowany w telewizji BBC Two. Scenariusz napisał Troy Kennedy Martin, całość wyreżyserował Martin Campbell. Jest to opowieść o policjancie Ronaldzie Cravenie, próbującym poznać prawdę o zabójstwie swojej córki Emmy. Śledztwo Cravena wprowadza go w świat mrocznych powiązań rządu i przemysłu nuklearnego oraz szpiegostwa. Serial oscyluje między konwencją thrillera politycznego, kryminału i science-fiction (z uwagi na wątek zagrożenia nuklearnego, będącego osią fabuły). Nasycony jest politycznym klimatem lat 80. XX wieku w Wielkiej Brytanii, zwłaszcza administracji premier Margaret Thatcher w kontekście jej konfliktu z lewicą i związkami zawodowymi. Na krawędzi mroku uważany jest za jeden z najlepszych seriali w historii brytyjskiej telewizji. Uzyskał 11 nominacji do nagrody BAFTA i zdobył sześć z nich, w tym dla najlepszego serialu, aktora (Bob Peck) i za muzykę (dla Erica Claptona, autora słynnego motywu przewodniego do serialu). Na 2010 rok zapowiadana jest premiera hollywoodzkiej wersji kinowej serialu, w reżyserii Martina Campbella i z Melem Gibsonem w roli głównej.
