John Alderton in Tales of the Unexpected (1979)

The possibility that a large woman might one day swallow a small clergyman is one that has always appealed to me. My mind first started wandering in this direction one day in the zoo, while I stood watching a huge snake swallowing a live rat. The rat didn't wish to be swallowed. He was against it. But the snake hypnotized him so he had no chance, and down he went. The keeper told me it would take the snake five days to digest the rat. And that's when I got to wondering how long a large woman would take to digest a clergyman with all his clothes on, if he were not too big. That, of course, would depend on the woman. But I know one or two who could have him for breakfast and still feel hungry at the end of it.

Georgy Porgy

Reverend George Duckworth (John Alderton) was called Georgy Porgy by his eccentric and possibly incestous mother Clare (Joan Collins.)

Her actions left George psychologically damaged. Claire died in a possible car accident when George was a child.

Now grown up and a man of the cloth. He is surrounded by single ladies as part of his congregation. George never married and a newcomer Julia Roach (Joan Collins) is giving Georgie boy the eye.

Julie&apos;s resemblance to his mother unleashed something deeply buried in George.

There was some fantastic acting by Joan Collins. It has an eerie ending. The story did not work for me, it might just be aspects of the tale was made less dark for television.
