4. Gabriel-Ernest
Vile celebrity chef Van Cheele meets his match in a teenage intruder in his garden. Stars Pippa Haywood and Carl Prekopp.
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.
Unpleasant celebrity chef Van Cheele has made quite a name for himself with his particular brand of nasty cooking.
One day, he finds a filthy naked teenager sunbathing in his large garden on the Munro Estate.
The boy claims to enjoy hunting animals and also occasionally humans on the estate.
Van Cheele believes that this is a prank by a fellow celebrity chef, but soon discovers that he's truly met his match.
Dramatised by Sean Grundy.
