Edwyn has just started a new job as a mortuary attendant. He accidentally pricks his finger whilst stitching up the dead body of patient Samuel Holt. Holt had killed himself in a grizzly fashion, Edwyn soon starts behaving very strangely.
I like this one very much, it's a fine entry in the series, I have always considered this one of the more macabre episodes, maybe that's why it was omitted from the home release videos for such a long time.
I think it's largely boosted by the performances, the lead Peter McEnery is fantastic, Edwyn's rapid collapse is brilliantly performed. Georgina Hale too is just brilliant, she makes that character something truly nasty, it's all about that wonderful speaking voice.
What a shame the series came to an end here, it deserved a much longer run.
It's all a little surreal at the end in typical seventies style, but it's very watchable.
7/10.
