Set in the quiet Welsh village of Pandymawr, this six-part BBC series traced the story of a mentally unbalanced murderer who is driven to kill when the bells from the village church ring out.
Although the identity of the murderer is known to viewers early in the serial, the story is very much a ‘Whodunnit’ for Detective Inspector Enoch Probert (played by actor/writer Eynon Evans, who also wrote the series).
The series first aired on BBC Wales in October 1964 and then nationally in November and December.
