Mike Walker - Alpha

An all-knowing computer seems to have an independent life of its own. Award-winning drama with David Calder and John Moffatt.

An all-knowing computer appears to have an independent life of its own - an abomination for those who believe in a supreme creator.

Father Marquez is sent to interrogate β€˜Alpha’ to decide whether or not it can be allowed to exist.

During their conversations, Marquez finds out far more than he expects about both Alpha and - much more disturbingly - himself...

Starring David Calder and Sarah-Jane Holm.

Mike Walker’s chilling drama won Gold at the Sony Radio Academy Awards 2001.
