A Ghost Story for Christmas: A Warning to the Curious (BBC, 1972)

"An Anglo-Saxon crown. No one's ever discovered one before. And I found it."

"Well, you are to be congratulated, Mr. Paxton. And may I ask what you intend to do with it next?"

"I'm going to put it back."

“You, my dear, cannot possibly exist...”

A Ghost Story For Christmas: Lost Hearts (BBC, 1973)

"Some annoyance may be experienced from the psychic portion of the subjects. Especially in those cases where they can command the allegiance of... what we are pleased to call material objects."

The Dick Francis Thriller: The Racing Game: Odds Against (1.1, Yorkshire Television, 1979)

"Mr. Halley, we've operated three times. You're hard, but you can't take any more - and we can't do any more for you. The nerves, the tendons, the sinews: they're gone for good."

"I'm a jockey."

"You were."
