A Dinner Date with Death

Plot: Considered to be the earliest surviving example of a British play-to-screen drama, this served as a pilot for an anthology series called ‘The Man Who Walks by Night’ where a Silver Shroud type figure tells a different tale of mystery and suspense each week. It was approved of generally, but a freeze on funding brought it to a premature end
