BACKGROUND

At last an alternative take on the Vampire legend and all the better for it as well. 
They look like us. They act like us. For centuries vampires have coexisted in harmony
with humans...until now. Now mankind has the ability to destroy itself, and the vampires
need to take control of their threatened food source. 

CIB, an elite government force has been formed to combat the threat but when eternal
life is offered, no one is beyond temptation... 

This six part series was an instant smash Cult hit when broadcast on UK's Channel 4 in
September 1998 and Joe Ahearne's masterpiece was one of the most talked about
shows of the past ten years.
