The Borderers: Witch-hunt

on BBC Two England

by Vincent Tilsley
[Starring] Iain Cuthbertson, Michael Gambon, Joseph Brady, Edith MacArthur
Guest star, James Cairncross

Religion is in turmoil and men turn to darker gods. On the Scottish border witchcraft is rife. So when a neighbour's cattle catch plague, accusing fingers point-and a charge is laid against Gavin's younger sister, the child Grizel. Cessford has to try her, little knowing how hard it is to make the charge of witchcraft stick.
