  Edge of Darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edge of Darkness is a British television drama serial, produced by BBC Television in association with Lionheart Television International and originally broadcast in six 55-minute episodes on BBC Two in late 1985.
Edge of Darkness was written by the highly experienced Troy Kennedy Martin, previously responsible for creating the famous and long-running BBC police drama Z-Cars and for writing the screenplays for feature films such as The Italian Job and Kelly's Heroes.
The musical score for Edge of Darkness was composed by Michael Kamen and rock guitarist Eric Clapton.

 DVD Times - Edge Of Darkness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Edge Of Darkness was first broadcast on BBC2 in six 50-minute episodes but due to the instant critical praise it received, it was repeated almost immediately on BBC1 in three 1hr40m episodes and repeated once again shortly after.
It should be apparent that Edge Of Darkness was not a series with humble ambitions and its placing at fifteenth in the British Film Institute's Top 100 Television is testament that it more than matched the challenge Troy Kennedy Martin placed on himself when he began work on it.
Indeed, Edge Of Darkness is one series where the BBC ought to be developing a DVD reissue to archive not only the series but the scripts, the music by Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton, information on the production and the legacy and influence of the series.

 Edge of Darkness
The darkness of my thoughts...the darkness of the room...the two seem to echo and feed off each other, like two mirrors placed face to face breeding an infinity of reflections flowing deeper and deeper into nothing but the reflection itself.
The deeper darkness of death, even the deepest darkness of this undeath pays no heed to such walls, they crumble and fall without becoming only more ashes to scatter in the wind.
And there she remains, dreaming on alone, lost in the soft, enfolding, velvet darkness of death whilst I was cast back into this shadowy netherworld of dark streets and darker deeds.

Little light is emitted from the edge of a spiral galaxy, so knowledge of the structure of the outer reaches of these galaxies is limited.
Observations of the nearby spiral NGC 4414 now reveal emissions from carbon monoxide molecules well beyond the optical disk of the galaxy, at a distance of 1.5 optical radii.
Although many galaxies need some additional mass to explain the speed with which they rotate, this is not, on the face of it, evidence for such mass.
