With its vintage cars, cocktails and genteel murder, Black Orchid (1982) mines comfortably familiar literary and televisual traditions. Yet within this country house is a disfigured prisoner whose history invites us to confront our prejudices about mental and physical injury, and our beliefs about colonialism and race. A two-part story without extraneous science-fiction elements, Black Orchid plays games with our ideas of monsters, doppelgangers and identity, as well as cricket.
