"I change my cars as regularly as a snake sheds its skin."
Archaelogist Angus Flint (Peter Capaldi) is on a dig in a small village, when he discovers a bizzare skull. Later at a party he is told of the legend of the D'Ampton worm, a huge snake like creature which was killed by the lord of the manor. Over the next few days people start disappearing and the skull is stolen. All leads point them to a cave where the worm was supposed to live, and where a cult worshipping the creature practiced. Maybe the worm did not die as the legend tells, and the reptile may still be at large, helped by cult followers including possibly Lady Marsh (Amanda Donohoe).
Wonderfully hokey stuff based on a Bram Stoker story, as can only be envisioned by Ken Russell.
