Marlow clashes with Dr Gibbon, a hospital psychiatrist who has read one of his novels and thinks he can get to the root of his problems. Shaken, the writer returns to his bed, but his mood does not improve when his ex-wife Nicola arrives. Meanwhile, in the novel playing out inside his head, the mysterious Binney finds himself in peril. Dennis Potter's darkly surreal 1986 drama, starring Michael Gambon, Bill Paterson and Janet Suzman
