Insp. Inskip:
You know what worries me, Tom? This guy's not one of our ordinary everyday psychopaths. Like he's not sittin' at home at the moment drinkin' cocoa. No, this guy's totally bananas on both sides of the fence, like a dog with rabies. And I've got four men to police thirty-five square miles.

It was a fitting title because I had nightmares for several months afterwards (I was only 10 at the time).You know there's something evil lurking on the deserted Scottish island,but of course you only see it's point of view before it attacks in the fog. It was a sort of Doctor Who for adults.Ultimately let down by far too much exposition and revelation of the Russian pilot in the last episode.When the fog finally clears, it is rather obvious that we're not in Scotland either.The late Douglas Camfield was a veteran Dr.Who director, so the similarities in style are many. Great to see early performances from Scotland's James Cosmo, Maurice Roeves and Celia Imrie.Despite it's failings,this was another of those one-off experimental series used to showcase new talent that is sorely lacking in todays ratings obsessed British Television.
