THRILLER: Nurse Will Make It Betterwww.youtube.com/watch?v=oh11fpCFt94Used to love this series. This episode is suspiciously reminiscent of The Omen, but I think this came first.

Great stuff. There's not nearly enough love for Brian Clemens these days. One of the most consistently brilliant TV writers.

Ah, I love Patrick Troughton. He's my second favorite Doctor after David Tennant. This is one of the things of his I've watched along with Scars of Dracula (1970) and Richard III (1955). Pat and Frazer Hines (Jamie) were amazing together. He seemed to play priests (also one in The Omen) and villains quite a lot. I've also watched Tom Baker in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) as Rasputin.  |
