Market Forces 1 - 7 x 1/2 hr (eps 1 - 7) TV Drama & Comedy (1997)
In 1970s New Zealand, the workers in the Stores branch of an unspecified Public Service department became known to Kiwi TV viewers. John, Jim, Beryl and Hugh lived in an era when public servants were slow but reliable, unimaginative but trustworthy, dull but incorruptible...
Twenty years on and times have changed in the Public Service. John, Jim, Beryl and Hugh are back, still working in the Department of Supply and Information, but now grappling with the brave new world of the market economy. After their initial shock, they begin to fight back against the tyranny of mission statements, corporate re-imaging and full cost recovery, consultants, full cost recovery, and redundancies.
