by Robert Aickman
Dramatised by Hugh Whitemore

Three months after their marriage Phrynne and Gerald Banstead decide to stay at the Bell Inn, an ostensibly picturesque pub in East Anglia. As they arrive the whole place seems strangely deserted - the only sound they can hear is the desolate tolling of a church bell. Mr. and Mrs. Pascoe, who run the inn, and their only other guest, Commander Shotcroft, all seem desperately frightened of something vague and indefinable.
