The Blue Boy (1994 Paul Murton & scr)

Perhaps influenced by Don't Look Now, this uses water in a creepy way, as couple Emma Thompson and Adrian Dunbar on holiday in Scotland experience mysterious manifestations... yes it's got more in common with Roeg's film  than I realised. Joanna Roth is the other woman, David Horovitch the landlord. Eleanor Bron the gnostic, Phyllida Law appropriately Thompson's mum.

They found the right location. It was quite engaging, thank you.

Stuart Wyld shot it and Peter Hayes cuts it all together sensibly.

The familiar name of Rebecca Eaton is there as Executive Producer for BBC / WGBH Boston.
