E Force One is a 1971 Australian television play. It was a pilot for a proposed series that was not picked up but which aired as a stand-alone production.[1]
It aired on Channel Seven along with a number of pilots for series, including The Group, Catwalk, Kill and Cure and The Undertakers.[2] Jim Oswin, General Manager of ATN-7, said "we are going to make them and we are going to play them. Then the network is going to sit back and take a good, critical look at them. And we want viewers to do the same."[3]
It was shot at Channel Seven's studio in Epping in late 1970. Dane Clark was imported to play the lead.[4]
It was remade as another pilot, the TV movie And Millions Will Die.[5]
A top unit investigates pollution problems. They are called in to investigate a series of mysterious deaths and trace it to a lady giving out a home made tonic.
The Sun Herald said "it could be a winner but it was let down by its fuzzy script."[6]
