Recycled and restaged - this is a collection of short stories written by Saki (HH Munro)

They're now set in a modern-day gated-community for the far-too-wealthy for their own good.

The tales are woven together by the character of Clovis, a security guard. She recalls the events of strange days and long nights.

Starting with barrister couple Lady Jane and Jean-Michel Blemley, who hold a dinner party for some of their rich clients.

One of their guests, eccentric scientist Cornelius Appin, claims that he has been experimenting with animal behaviour techniques and can teach them to communicate.

When he demonstrates on the Blemleys' cat, Tobermory, the couple find they have a problem on their hands and seek assistance from security guard Clovis.

Dramatised in five parts by Sean Grundy.
