Synopsis

The Bates sadly care for their severely disabled daughter Pattie. Martin arrives at their door claiming to be her college friend. He charms them into accepting him as a lodger and carer for Pattie. But Martin is not all he seems.
Brimstone and Treacle was originally written by Potter as a television play, commissioned, paid for and recorded in 1976 by the BBC, for their Play for Today slot. It was withdrawn shortly before its scheduled transmission because then Director of Television Programmes Alasdair Milne found it "nauseating" though "brilliantly made".
