| Peter Gushing and Vincent Price star in this six-part radio drama serial from 1977, based on a story by Robert Holmes .
On a remote Scottish island, Doctors Curtis Lark and John Cornelius are convinced that the violent death of their friend Dr Hugh Dexter was no accident...
Dexter's research notes reveal that he was investigating an island sickness affecting many of the inhabitants, turning them into zombies blindly obeying orders from an unknown source.
The key to the mystery seems to be an apparently telepathic, but simple-minded, local girl, Flora. Lark and Cornelius want to take her to London to find out more — but is she the only telepath to have left the island? And who is controlling them?
Film horror legends Peter Cushing and Vincent Price play Lark and Cornelius
in this six-part series, which also features Richard Hurndall (Blake's 7 and Doctor Who)
amongst the cast.
Written by Rene Basilico and based on a story by 1970s Doctor Who script editor Robert Holmes , it is presented here on audio for the first time.
The release also includes a detailed sleeve note recounting the programme's making,
written by Andrew Pixley . |
