Armchair Thriller - Dying Day (1980) DVD
Dying Day was the third mini-series of Armchair Thriller Series 2. Antony Skipling - a lonely, meticulous man - encounters a strange character on an evening train, who plays him various recordings of "badgers farting" and insects pupating. When the recordist accidentally leaves one of his tapes behind, Skipling plays the cassette and overhears a plot detailing his own murder. When the man on the train is subsequently killed, Skipling teams up with his old counselor to try and locate the voice on the tape... but as everyone points out, who on earth would want to kill Antony Skipling? Convinced of his own impending death however, he seemingly uncovers a sinister plot involving a strange, Howard Hughes-like recluse.
