Episode synopsis
Alan Pinter's masterly play of suspense, set in the fashionable world of Chelsea boutique owners and West End dress designers, takes a moment in which four elegant lives are suddenly shaken by the tremors of sexual jealousy. The sinister telephone call which disturbs Harry Kane at four o'clock in the morning and sets in motion the drama's events, also foreshadows the ominous deepening mystery in which the characters find themselves.
