Nancy Irving is an American Professional golfer on tour in England. She is also sought out by a millionaire because she has a rare blood type and he needs a transfusion or he'll die. So his henchmen drug Nancy and stage her death. Now Nancy must find a way to escape his mansion and tell the world she is alive rather than being "The Late Nancy Irving".

First viewing: October 1984 / Second viewing: October 2003
Cristina Raines gives an anaemic performance as a professional golfer who has the misfortune to belong to an extremely rare blood group. When taken prisoner as a blood slave in a sinister clinic - reminiscent of the one that appeared in `Armchair Thriller: The Limbo Connection' back in 1978. The mind will wander in this one as the somewhat contrived plot plays out - however the tables are turned somewhat in a bittersweet climax. Incidentally her fiance is played by Simon Williams (another "Upstairs Downstairs" actor). Not the best `Hammer House Of Mystery And Suspense' episode - but one that possesses a certain chilling quality. 6/10
