'Chimera' (1991) – Lawrence Gordon Clark.

I only just recently rewatched this exciting, greatly atmospheric Brit TV Sci-horror classic, and this stunningly made mini-series eerily remains a profoundly relevant dramatisation of the far from implausible disaster unleashed from such a profoundly devastating display of medical hubris! A darkly paranoid, starkly cautionary tale of genetic pseudo-science run amok, and the equally malign governmental cover up that fatefully proves no less devastating to all those people unfortunate enough to have become involved in the blackened, nightmarish terrors so illicitly born within the benighted confines of 'The Jenner Clinic! 

This consistently gripping 90s Sci-fi chiller is well worth a prolonged anxious peek over the sofa, especially if you appreciate some scintillatingly sinewy smarts along with your macabre, and generously gloopy monster mash! Stephen Gallagher's monstrously engaging 'Chimera' is crisply directed by the talented Lawrence 'Harry's Game' Gordon Clark, and is brought to vividly dramatic life by the uniformly exemplary performances of a no less talented cast, the greatly beleaguered, grief-stricken journalist Peter Carson (John Lynch), twitchily making for an especially sympathetic protagonist. Plus the beautiful Yorkshire backdrop certainly makes for an undeniably lush, and aesthetically pleasing visual bonus! Superbly written by Novelist Stephen Gallagher, robustly directed by Gordon Clark, and the fantastic score by Nigel Hess is demonstratively worthy of greater recognition! Fans of Nigel Kneale's 'Beasts' (1976), and the similarly themed 'First Born (1988) are sure to appreciate the singularly edifying dramatic quality of celebrated, small screen, wide-scream creepy cult classic 'Chimera'.
