This programme highlights a variety of surveillance forms: the first computer-controlled, flying surveillance systems; East German agents trying to camouflage their equipment behind living room curtains; bored security personnel; artists spying on their neighbours; activists using the camera as a witness to governmental arbitrariness; and on to the most fearsome camera of all, the armed drone.
