In 1987, the story told in 20 Minutes into the Future, a made-for-television movie, formed the basis of a fully-fledged drama television series. Although each story was self-contained, most of season one was aired in the wrong order as "Body Banks" follows on from "Blipverts" which is obvious from the dialogue. The show went into production in late 1986 and ran for six episodes in the first season with eight being produced in season two. ABC took an interest in the pilot and asked Chrysalis/Lakeside to produce the series for US audiences.
Cinemax aired the UK pilot followed by a six-week run of highlights from The Max Headroom Show, a music video show where Headroom appears between music videos.
