Lawrence Gordon Clark directs this triple bill of BBC adaptations
of the ghost stories by M.R. James. In 'Lost Hearts' (1973) young
orphan Stephen (Simon Gipps-Kent) goes to stay at the generous Mr.
Abney (Joseph O'Connor)'s estate where he is haunted by two
children who previously lived in the house. It turns out the
children have come to warn Stephen that Abney is not all that he
seems. In 'The Ash Tree' (1975) Sir Richard Fell (Edward
Petherbridge) inherits his uncle's manor and grounds. He moves in
and decides to cut down an ash tree that could prove harmful to the
property but before he gets the chance he begins to hear strange
sounds and sees supernatural figures coming from the tree... In
'The Treasure of Abbot Thomas' (1974) cynical Reverend Somerton
(Michael Bryant) is completely close-minded when it comes to
paranormal activity. His steadfast beliefs falter, however, when
his and Lord Peter Dattering (Paul Lavers)'s search for the
treasure of alchemist Abbot Thomas (John Herrington) unleashes a
terrifying spectre.
