Double Bill

The first part, titled The Compartment, features an insane man who boards a quiet railway coach. He disrupts a patient man trying to read by engaging in incessant small talk, escalating to menacing behavior as he reveals a gun and unleashes class hatred until his stop arrives.

In the second part, Playmates, the same character breaks into the home of a lonely spinster. The tension builds as he terrorizes her, creating a chilling atmosphere. The film stars Marty Feldman, Joby Blanshard, Eileen Atkins, Donald Gee, and Diane Aubrey, all contributing to the unsettling narrative. As a BBC production, this TV movie reflects the era's approach to drama and psychological storytelling.
