Adapted from John Rowe Townsends award-winning novel and produced by BAFTA winner Peter Plummer, whose credits include the highly acclaimed adaptation of Alan Garners The Owl Service, this unsettling and atmospheric mystery series won the prestigious Harlequin award at 1973s BAFTAs. Starring James Bate as an isolated teenage boy who undergoes a disturbing loss of identity, The Intruder is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original fullscreen aspect ratio. Arnold Haithwaite pursues his strange and solitary profession on the Cumbrian sands beside the Irish Sea. He is a sand pilot and, like a sea pilot, must know his way about; he must have a strong sense of both locality and identity. This is called into question by another figure that haunts this strange landscape: a sinister intruder who claims to be the real Arnold Haithwaite.
