The Organization

- Season 1

(1972)

Richard Pershore is young and ambitious, and has a weakness for a pretty face. He knows what he wants - a job with the Organization. He also knows that the Organization is a jungle. If he gets what he wants, is he ruthless enough to survive?

Ken Grist has been fired, but he refuses to admit the fact to his wife, to his colleagues, and even to himself. His ex-boss David Pulman has no intention of dealing with the situation. He decides to delegate - with the result that Public Relations become very personal relations.

Everyone at the Organization knows that press officer Rodney Spurling is the Chairman's whipping boy. It has always seemed to be the natural state of affairs. So why have Eve and PR head David Pulman started to take an interest in Rodney's welfare?

The staff of the Public Relations Department awaits with some anxiety the arrival of a consultant psychiatrist.

Peter Frame has an idea. Pulman's secretary, Veronica, has a better idea of her own. So the members of the Public Relations Department find themselves playing professional musical chairs. But who wins?

David Pulman and his staff find themselves playing a new version of the Truth Game.

Richard Pershore thinks that where his own future is concerned, he knows best. His colleagues think they know even better. And when Pulman takes an interest, what will happen to Richard is anyone's guess.
