Strangely compelling, 19 October 2003
7/10
Author: Paul English from Ireland

First viewing: October 1984 / Second viewing: October 2003

The disappearance of the long-forgotten rock'n'roll duo, The Verne Brothers has been a mystery for over twenty years. Time Leigh Lawson had some answers and he gets them - in the shape of assistance from the exotically monikered Season Hubley and an assortment of unpleasant minor characters. The search for an answer leads to the dredging up of unsolved missing person cases and crazy villagers like the ones in "The Wicker Man". For good measure DCI Burnside makes an appearance - as a policeman - and for those eagle-eyed "Brookside"/"Bergerac" addicts watch out for Geoffrey Leesley in the role of an ineffectual constable. A strangely compelling entry in the vastly impressive "Hammer House Of Mystery And Suspense" canon. 7/10
