It stars Leo McKern and Janet Munro.Professor Kerris Bowles-Ottery (McKern) is the only Senior Common Room scientist at Ockham, a university in the Oxbridge tradition. He is also a humanist and a TV personality with a zest for living at odds with his colleagues. He aspires to the John Aubrey professorship for which an election is taking place. In a lab experiment he accidentally discovers a new poison which induces hysterical behaviour before causing death without leaving any trace. Bowles-Ottery uses this to eliminate his opponents. His research assistant Delia Brooks (Munro), who has seduced him, now blackmails him into a promise of marriage. | |

Blackmail Backfire: Delia attempts to blackmail Bowles-Otterly into marrying her. Attempting to blackmail a poisoner proves to be a very bad idea. | |

Bawdy Song | |
| A Jolly Bad Fellow / int_ff24ad1d | comment |
Bawdy Song: After being drugged by Professor Bowles-Ottery, Dr. Brass is arrested while dancing drunkenly through a graveyard without his trousers and singing a risqué song. Only the last few lines are actually heard, so there is nothing too objectionable, but the style of song is unmistakable. | |
