fr: Un village tranquille
Dr Bruce Nelson and his wife Tessa move to a peaceful country village. However, things change drastically when Tessa becomes the source of attraction for the locals.
Ein Landarzt: A Place to Die ist eine Gruselgeschichte vom Allerfeinsten. Ein Pärchen trifft auf ein Dorf voller seltsamer Bewohner, die gleichzeitig freundlich und unheimlich sind. Was führen sie im Schilde? Brillant gespielt.
Ian Kerr's comment:
Once again Clemens used the plot of a whole community fostering a deadly secret, a device that he used to great effect on the Avengers episode[s] The Town of no Return and Murdersville. (Timescreen, Issue 20/1994, p.29)
