Sir James Forbes ( Andre Morrell ) is an eminent medical professor who receives a letter from a former pupil Peter Tompson ( Brook Williams ) practising in Cornwall about a large number of unexplained deaths . Forbes and his daughter go to visit and find all manner of strange things going on.
Diane Clare ( as Sylvia Forbes )
Sex : Sylvia is abducted and thrown around by a gang of tyros as a prelude to rape but they are interrupted
Death : Survives
Diane had a career as a baby in films in the late thirties but then had to get back into the industry the hard way. She found a niche in horror films in the mid-sixties but retired on marrying playwright Barry England in 1967. She died in 2013 aged 74.
Jacqueline Pearce ( as Alice Tompson )
Sex : No
Death : Killed by the villainous Squire Hamilton then destroyed as a zombie when Forbes decapitates her.
To those of us of a certain age, Jacqueline will always be the psychopathic Servalan in Blake's Seven but she had a respectable film career in the sixties then a long TV career , and occasional film appearances , until she retired to South Africa in 2006. She is currently in remission from breast cancer and is now 73.
