40 YEARS AGO TODAY: Edge Of Darkness comes to a head, Craven and Jedburgh coming armed with illegal levels of plutonium. If the ending isn't mystical and Gaia-coded enough, Troy Kennedy Martin's original script had Craven turning into a tree.
Edge of Darkness - Series 1: 6. Fusion
After being exposed to fatal doses of radiation, Jedburgh heads for Scotland armed with the plutonium. Craven, now in possession of the wisdom of Gaia, waits for the inevitable.
