Eye of the Storm is a British fantasy children's television serial first broadcast in early 1993 on ITV. Made by Childsplay Productions and writer Richard Cooper for then-new ITV franchise Meridian Broadcasting, the six-part drama was among its first contributions to the Children's ITV strand. It starred Bill Nighy, Judy Parfitt, and Cordelia Bugeja.
Set on location in Devon and Hampshire on the south coast of England, a conservationist father and daughter investigate what transpires to be a government cover-up of an imminent pollution crisis from their converted trawler boat. Their efforts collide with a more fantastical threat, involving a malevolent guardian's abuse of clairvoyant abilities held by her blind young boy, and his link to ancient powers foretold by a 17th century alchemist forefather.
The serial was a critically acclaimed, award-winning success at the time of its original broadcast, though would remain self-contained and receive no subsequent continuation or adaption in any form. With the exception of one repeat run the following year, Eye of the Storm has not been made commercially available in full for public viewing since.
