'Project Sahara' by Gerry Davis (Additional material N.J. Crisp)

Doomwatch are joined by Doctor Robson, sent to undertake tests on the new ‘Sahara’ spray which is apparently capable of destroying all plantlife on the planet. But when Quist receives a phone call from the ministry, he is given orders to immediately suspend both Robson and Toby without any explanation. Closer investigation leads Quist and his team to discover that a new computerised security system run by Commander Keeping and Barker has become far too powerful, and is making its own decisions about government personnel…
