Tales of the Unexpected 1.06

Neck

starring Joan Collins, Michael Aldridge, John Gielgud, Peter Bowles
directed by Christopher Miles

Sir Basil Tuton (Michael Aldridge) and his wife Natalie (Joan Collins) Turton have a few guests over for the weekend. She cavorts around with the other male guests. Natalia is in mid cavort when she gets her head stuck in a sculpture. Basil's had about enough and takes extreme measure to get her free from his sculpture.

Thoughts

There really wasn't enough to this episode for me to care one way or another how it ended. It was okay but like most of the other episodes of this show it left me shrugging my shoulders.

Notes

I've seen Joan Collins in plenty of other things. This is the first of three episodes of this show in which she appeared. She was also in a classic episode of Star Trek.

Peter Bowles played the part of Major Haddock, the guest that Natalia was cavorting with when she got her head stuck. I've seen him before but not in anything that I've seen recently.

John Gielgud played the part of Jelks, the butler. This is the first of two episodes in which he appeared. I've seen him in other things but nothing recently.
