Atmospheric, with a gothic horror vibe from the past.

Series fifteen is very hit and miss in my opinion, and the best offering is indeed Image of the Fendahl. Image of the Fendahl sees a return to a formula that had worked so successfully by the previous director, gothic horror.

The first part is very atmospheric, with a very creepy vibe, the opening scenes in particular are suitably eerie. We are treated to a terrific set of characters, with some terrific performances, Edward Arthur and Wanda Ventham are so good as the good guys, personally though, I will always remember this one for the fabulous turn from Daphne Heard as Mrs Tyler.

The duo of Tom and Leela wasn't necessarily my favourite combo, but in this one they work exceptionally well together.

Superb direction, great music, with a true sense of horror captured well. Part one is a definite triumph.
