Britain 2089. Since the invasion of the Tripods the country has been locked in a pre-industrial age. The Tripods tyranny on Earth has endured for decades, courtesy of the "Capping" process which most humans undergo on reaching adolescence. The caps are essentially metal plates which are fused into the wearer's head by the Tripods through which the Tripods can send instructions or orders.

The Capped are not 'possessed'. They can work as butchers, farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, get married, etc as they might have done otherwise, but they are never truly independent entities. Once capped, no one is ever truly free.

Little wonder then that on being tipped off by a local resistance figure, Will Parker (John Shackley) has no intention of being Capped. He plans to escape, embarking on a long journey. In time, he is joined by his cousin Henry (Jim Baker) and a French lad, Jean-Paul Deliet (Ceri Seel) nicknamed "Beanpole".

Each item is sold as a vintage collectors item, with unknown playback conditions.
