on BBC Two England

continues a major season of films new to television. starring Robert Thompson Susan Penhaligon Robert Helpmann
Comatose since his mother's 'accidental' death from an electrical shock, 24-year-old Patrick is confined to his bed in a second-rate hospital. The only person who shows him any sympathy is his new nurse, Kathy, who begins to see that Patrick has strange powers. As Patrick's 'force' increases he dominates the hospital and the callous Dr Roget in a climax at once terrifying and bizarre.
