Hi all, I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to track down I drama I saw the end of in the mid eighties. All I remember was a (haunting) scene at the end which involved what looked like a group of people crawling on all fours through a field, I'm pretty sure the drama was about drugs and I think I saw it in 1984 or 1985. I realise this isn't much to go on but I'm hoping it might ring a bell with someone...

Traffik? (Although I think it was 1988, but was a drama related to drug trade).

Bangkok Hilton (ditto)

The Life and Loves of a She-Devil

Edge of Darkness.

Threads (nuclear bomb aftermath)

Just to let you know I found it, it was a 1985 TV movie called Operation Julie.
JamesWorldNews and Si-Co gave kudos

Thanks for letting us know. I was intrigued. Will look it up.

Operation Julie was an actual police operation. Paul Merton's first stand up routine was based on it, which is where I first heard of it.

He talks about it in his appearance on the wonderful Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast.



About 21 minutes in (but the whole podcast is worth a watch).
