Taking shelter in a cave, Terry (Simon Henderson), Helen (Lisa Turner) and Phil (Simon Beal) discover Rothgo (Ron Moody), a magician from another time, who is imprisoned in the rock.
He needs them to use the time-travelling power of his labyrinth to help him regain his focus of power, the Nidus, from the evil witch Belor (Pamela Salem, pictured below right).
The young friends keep meeting Rothgo – who has been alive throughout history – in earlier times.
Directed throughout by BAFTA-nominated Peter Graham Scott, HTV’s Into the Labyrinth features scripts from writers Bob Baker (Wallace and Gromit), Robert Holmes (Doctor Who), Anthony Read (Sapphire and Steel) and award-winning author Christopher Priest.
