Not really, but it is a government dept dealing with the supernatural. I've had a novelisation kicking around for a while, but never read it and always wondered if the series was any good.
I know there are a few old gits about here, so, does anyone remember it? If I get some library wages I might give it a punt.

Only vaguely. I remember the opening titles, that James Hazeldine was in it and there was some laboratory doings on the obligatory "remote Scottish/Cornish isle" (second only to the gravel pit in Brit SF TV).
Sold! Heh, I LIKE the remote Scottish/Cornish isle setting.
Anyone with more details?
It's great every last damn Brit SF series is being unearthed thanks to DVD.
Man, i hope that remote Isle also has a ruined castle and some underwater caves abandoned by smuggers, overwise it's crap.
It's kind of like Craggy Island but with all the genre stuff going on, with the beaches full of toxic barrels, landmines, barbed wire, cyborg submariners bumping into forgotten reptilian overlords (both running away from the giant crabs), fishing villages packed with furtive deformed locals and pyromaniac morris dancers, caves full of gunpowder, lost pirates and troglodytes, spooky stone circles and a castle with a Fourth Reich radar installation in it...
...and some underwater caves abandoned by smuggers...
"Smuggers"?
Gangs of youths who ambush the unwary and then proceed to tell them how fantastic their own lives are comapred to their victims'?
