- Synopsis:
A series of six individual plays, each linked by the scorpion-like sting in its denouement, 'Scorpion Tales' features some of Britain's most talented and renowned actors - Trevor Howard, Geoffrey Palmer, Jack Shepherd, Don Henderson and Patrick Barr among them. The impressive diversity of the plays reflects the free hand given to a team of distinguished writers that includes Ian Kennedy-Martin, Jeremy Burnham, Bob Baker and Dave Martin ; the screenplays range from an engagingly devious account of a man's attempt to outwit a computer, to a tough drama about a jaded policeman who becomes the object of a homosexual vendetta, a chilling tale about a secret training course, and a supernatural story of a boy's attempt to gain his father's attention by invoking evil powers. - Actors:
