5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the narrow-minded spoon-fed generation, 10 Sep 2006
By Ben Ripley (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'The Omega Factor' is terrific, suspenseful and eerie television.
Some of the criticisms this show has received tend to come from those who are expecting the fast-paced high-octane thrillers that are churned out for modern audiences with short attention spans.

For more discerning viewers, this series will provoke thought, chill to the bone and achieve a sense of disquiet.

The casting is superb. James Hazeldine is mesmerising as Tom Crane, the man on a mission, battling the superior forces of both the supernatural and the higher organisations of people who desire control and the power to manipulate all.
Louise Jameson as Anne Reynolds provides a perfect foil to his angst with her scientific prowess and cool and calm exterior - a forerunner to Agent Scully of 'The X Files' if ever there was one.

The highlight of the series is the superb fifth episode entitled 'Powers of Darkness' which genuinely sent shivers down my spine. One can understand why Mary Whitehouse complained about the show being 'Thoroughly evil'.

The DVD includes a fascinating booklet about the series, a documentary (running at 25 minutes) with interviews with one of the writers, one of the directors, the producer and the man behind it all, Jack Gerson. Also interviewed is his daughter who played the terrifyingly enigmatic Morag.

Superb television drama. A must buy for fans of high-quality supernatural drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Case For The Defence, 21 Feb 2006
By M. Oxley (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I felt compelled to submit a review of this item after reading the one negative review with regards to The Omega Factor. If you can't watch a drama without incredible special effects perhapse this isn't what you're looking for, however when you bring into consideration the year it was transmitted, and the tight budget the BBC had in those days I think it's a remarkable triumph, not a disaster, that the makers of The Omega Factor produced a series this good.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Omega Experience, 13 Mar 2006
By Stephen Evans "A Budding Author" (Sussex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I count myself a big fan of the supernatural and how I missed this series first time round heaven knows - maybe because I was only 11 at the time! Quite clearly the series 'sea of souls' has ripped this show of fairly blatantly.

The acting is superb, often the actors give you a feeling that they do not believe in what they are potraying when it comes to the supernatural but the much missed acting talents of James Hazledine and everyones favorite Dr Who girl Louisa Jameson really give you the feeling that they were as frightened as the viewer.

Please remember that this is 1979 and technology and effects of the time and budget were limited. Mind you storyline was the important factor in those day's as opposed to special effects!
