Reception
Nigel Planer, who watched the serial as a child, described it as "terrifying!", although no contemporary tabloid reviews appear to have survived.
Archive status
No recordings of any of the six episodes are known to exist, presumably having been wiped or misplaced. The serial is effectively lost.
