Hammer House Of Horror - Episode 3 - Rude Awakening

An estate agent who wants to divorce his wife so he can marry is secretary is asked by a man to look at an isolated house as he wants to sell it. After visiting it he starts to suffer strange dreams where the house is different each time he goes there, his secretary has a different look and attitude everytime he goes into the office and he envisions killing his wife. As the lines between the dreams and reality become blurred he starts to fear for his sanity.

A great story with some fun twists and turns. Denholm Elliott and Lucy Gutteridge are both excellent in their lead roles and there's some genuinely good atmospheric moments and even a couple of surreal ones throughout as the mystery unfolds. One of the more highly rated episodes and it's definitely one of my favourites. 8/10.
