The Destruction Factor

The Destruction Factor

"The Destruction Factor - The Seeds of Creation" was a 1978 BBC radio play written by James Follett and starring T. P. McKenna, Paul Copley and Rosalind Adams.

Set in the UK, the plot revolves around the development of a new plant species created in a laboratory as a means of eliminating famine in the Third World. Unfortunately, the resultant plants have the unanticipated side-effect of a vastly-increased oxygen production (a by-product of normal photosynthesis). The plants are allowed to get out of the laboratory and enter the ecosystem, where they cause several accidents involving what is at first thought to be spontaneous human combustion.
