  • ""The series begins its 20th season with Harold Pinter's adaptation of Elizabeth Bowen's psychological novel, set in World War I Britain. As the story opens, an elderly man named Francis Morris collapses and dies. Among those attending his funeral is widow Stella Rodney (Patricia Hodge), a distant relative who is surprised to learn that Morris left his estate to her son Roderick (Grant Parsons)--despite the fact that the two men never met. Even more puzzling is a man named Harrison (Michael Gambon), who claims to be an old friend of Morris's. He reveals that he knows a great deal about Stella and her family. 'I don't understand your interest in us,' Stella tells him. But she soon learns. Harris is a counterspy, and he informs Stella that her lover, Robert (Michael York), is 'working for the enemy'"--TV guide, September 30, 1990. Following the program is a short conversation with Harold Pinter."
