Secret Society

In 1987, Duncan produced a six-part documentary for the BBC entitled, Secret Society. The series disclosed the culture of secrecy in government and lack of public accountability for its actions. The Thatcher administration had different ideas. Before the show was broadcast Strathclyde police raided the BBC's Scottish headquarters and Duncan's home, seizing the tapes. Although these were later returned, two episodes, 'Secret Cabinet Committees' and 'Zircon' were banned from broadcast in an act of good, old fashioned red-pen censorship.
