Description

Unfinished amateur drama about a couple in their new house whose television set plays tricks on them. As the husband prepares to decorate a room, his wife comes in with a tray of tea and biscuits for a break, so they try to plug in the television set but it doesn't appear to work. The couple sit down and read instead before there are alternative endings. One sees the couple alerted to a noise and discovering something shocking off camera. The second shows the wife asleep in her chair as the husband is drawn to the television, pulling out a dagger from the screen. Hypnotised, he tries to stab his wife before the weapon disappears and they embrace.
