JCW Brook - The Doppelganger

On his second honeymoon, Adam sees his dead mother and is plunged into a dark world of the other self. Stars Nigel Anthony.

Adam and Jane are off on a make-or-break second honeymoon; but at Oxford station Adam sees his possibly dead mother.

Then at the hotel he meets Beth, a 25-year-old girl with the mind of a child of seven, who looks like Jane.... "a doppelganger is your other self - your dark brother of myth, who wishes to take your place in this world..."

JCW Brook’s spine-chilling drama stars Nigel Anthony as Adam Oxton, Elizabeth Lindsay as Beth Harris, Penelope Lee as Sarah Steadman, Emily Richard as Jane Oxton, Geoffrey Collins as Ralph Steadman, Mary Wimbush as the Woman and Jack May as the Man.

Music by Paddy Kingsland of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
