Interesting TV series.....

The Last Enemy first aired on 17 February, 2008.

Set in a near-future United Kingdom beset by terrorism and illegal immigration it features the introduction of "TIA" (Total Information Awareness), a centralised database that can be used to track and monitor anybody effectively by putting all available government information in one place. The story deals with a political cover-up centred around a rogue batch of vaccine which seems to be causing a deadly virus, as well as the moral, social and privacy concerns of such a system in a post-9/11 world. The story is told through the eyes of a mathematical genius who is portrayed as a recluse and showing some signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The final episode then has a plot twist in which this apparent virus is shown to be in fact an ethnicity-specific side-effect of an experiment in producing an internal, injected and unfakeable bio-tag, a side-effect which affects Arabs but not Caucasians and so (to avoid international scandal) has had to be shut down.
