The novel by T.H. White adapted by Donald McWhinnie
[Starring] Marius Goring and Brewster Mason
Murder in Cambridge and a mad Don - the scene changes to a large Derbyshire mansion and danger in the dark...
Says Marius Goring: "I did it 25 years ago and it was great fun then, but it's more fun now, especially as it's done in stereo. It had to be done in strange rooms and passages to get the right effects."
(Repeated: Monday, 3.5 pm)
