Mr Pye (1986) (Episode 4)

Part 4 of 4 of the unusual comedy drama from 1986. Mr Pye stuns Miss Dredger, Tanty and Thorpe when he reveals he has now grown horns due to his bad behaviour to remove his wings. Reckoning that he is being punished by "Pal" for not being humble in his preaching, Mr Pye decides he needs to suffer humiliation for his curse to be removed and decides to do so at the Cattle Show at the weekend. But both Miss Dredger and Tanty have grave fears over his plans, which prove well founded when the locals then suspect he is actually a devil, putting Mr Pye's life in grave danger.

Starring Derek Jacobi, Judi Parfitt, Robin McCaffrey, Richard O'Callaghan, Michael Turner, Ralph Nossak, Sarah Dawson, Amanda Reiss, Howard Lew Lewis, Trevor Cooper, Jeffrey Chiswick, Geoffrey McGivern, Bill Monks, Michael Hamon, Jo Scott Matthews, Roger Alborough, Bob Johnson and Mark Shorto. This episode concluded the comedy drama, based on a 1953 novel by Mervyn Peake, and like the other episodes is funny but very much of a curio. Not sure exactly what they were trying to say here, but it is certainly unusual.
