| Description: |
With memorable and unsettling opening credits, 'Armchair Thriller' became a massive hit for Thames Television in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With its trademark ghoulish cliff hangers and iconic theme tune (by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay), this haunting anthology series was an immediate success, its eerie, disturbing tales regularly attracting over 15 million viewers. For many, this series remains a high-watermark of dramatic television and its many frightening and spooky moments are remembered by viewers nearly thirty years after its original transmission. In this 1978 episode, based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, a Chelsea couple's (Benjamin Whitrow and Zena Walker) dog has been kidnapped and a ransom demanded. When the ransom is paid but no dog is returned, an ambitious young policeman (Brian Stirner) takes it into his own hands to solve the dognapping. Unfortunately, the dognapper is a vicious sociopath named Kowajinski (Leon Eagles)... |
