BBC serial thriller - The Candle of Darkness 1967

Posted by Mike Stevens on June 11, 2018 at 12:55am

"I don't dig you and I don't dig your tone."

Steve Gardiner - a hip Londoner and Korean War veteran - arrives in a small Scottish seaside town where locals are all under threat from a serial killer.

Edward Boyd's six-part serial thriller is reminiscent of American radio thrillers of the era, as the hero also addresses the audience directly.

Teddy Johnson stars as Steve Gardiner.

As well as acting, the versatile performer (1920-2018) sang with his wife Pearl Carr - coming second in the 1959 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Sing Little Birdie'. Johnson was also a DJ on Radio Luxembourg and later BBC Radio 2.

    Thanks, Mike.  This sounds terrific!  There's nothing like a serial killer on the loose:-)
