Summary: <p>The tourist season is over and Inverdee Island is closing down and preparing for the winter. But when the body of Shelia Anderson is discovered, seemingly torn apart by a killer with inhuman strength, the islanders must join together to fight something terrifyingly unknown.</p> <p>Broadcast only once in 1981, <em>The Nightmare Man</em> has achieved cult status as rare but expertly made piece of primetime SF/Horror from the BBC. Looking into the roots of this drama and <em>Child of Vodyanoi,</em> the original novel it is adapted from, Gareth Preston is joined by writers Ian Taylor and John Isles. Can it be compared with <em>Doctor Who</em> of the time? How well does Cornwall stand in for Scotland? How scary is it for a modern audience?</p> <p>Produced by Gareth Preston<br> Music by Chatri Art ( <a href="https://chatriart.bandcamp.com/releases">chatriart.bandcamp.com</a> )</p> <p>Ian Taylor's book on the career of Jenny Agutter <a href="https://webelongdead.co.uk/product/all-sorts-of-things-might-happen-the-films-of-jenny-agutter/">All Sorts of Things May Happen</a> is available from We Belong Dead books.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/verybritishfutures/message
