The Sabbatical (1x1)

Air date: Jan 25, 1982

Anthony Shaw, a stressed-out clergyman, is sent on a relaxing sabbatical in the country by his Bishop. He stays at a guest house in the village but finds the attitude and behaviour of the locals unnerving. While out on a walk he comes across an old, disused chapel and a little girl picking flowers in the graveyard. When he returns the next day he gets trapped in the chapel and spends a terrifying night battling against the forces of darkness.
