Doomwatch is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC, which ran on BBC1 between 1970 and 1972.[2] The series was set in the then present day, and dealt with a scientific government agency led by Doctor Spencer Quist (played by John Paul), responsible for investigating and combating various environmental and technological dangers.

The series was followed by a film adaptation produced by Tigon British Film Productions and released in 1972,[3] and a revival TV film was broadcast on Channel 5 in 1999.[4]
