    Seagull Island

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    1 9 8 1 (Italy/UK)
    5 x 60 minute episodes

    This five-part miniseries was a British-Italian co-production.

    Barbara Carey (Prunella Ransome) flies to Italy to visit her blind pianist sister Mary-Ann (Sherry Buchanan), who is studying in a music academy.

    Once in Rome, Barbara discovers her sister has disappeared and, according to the Italian police, she may have been murdered by a maniac who is obsessed with young sightless women.

    With the help of Martin Foster (Nicky Henson) from the British Embassy, Barbara starts trying to find out what happened to Mary-Ann.

    She even pretends to be blind herself in an attempt to attract the killer, and finally, the clues lead her to Seagull Island, privately owned by a mysterious British citizen named David Malcolm (Jeremy Brett).

    Barbara must then find the answers to several questions: was Mary-Ann really kidnapped? What happened to David’s wife and son on the island? And why is David’s relative, Carol (Pamela Salem), so unhappy to see a woman with him?

    Broadcast in some countries as The Secret of Seagull Island.
