▶ "One Step Beyond": The Confession. (rare episode)

an unfair judge?

Good show

If you ever come to London take a walk along Strand-on-the-Green by Kew Bridge and near the Bull's Head pub, overlooking the Thames is a house, also overlooking the Thames, with a blue plaque on the front, It says that the house was where Donald Pleasance used to live. I daresay he sank a few in the Bull's Head too.

In today's court setting, nobody cares about guilt OR innocence, they want and need convictions. There's big money in privatized prisons, problem is you NEED to fill them. Another HUGE problem, many today have no conscious in the courts, whatever their position. Hopefully you never have to find this out the HARD WAY.

u saw mr lawrance at speakers corner

this is reminiscent of the Twilight Zone: The Arrival

Donald Pleasance was great in t.z. changing of the guard

This is a twist on Poe's A telltale heart.

Why should he carry the guilt when it should be the wife.

Please list ten actors better than Donald P…I’ll wait

Didn't people carry any Identity cards or documents in those days ?

A fine English actor, yes. But, I had to take a second look at Donald Pleasence, being amazingly unrecognizable in the 1965 western comedy "The Hallelujah Trail".

He was great on Columbia as well

I just began viewing this story and I can already see this is going to be excellent 👌!

Powerful and haunting tale!

I was lucky to see Donald Pleasance on stage back in (...I reckon...) 1990. He was in the revival of 'The Caretaker', alongside Colin Firth. His performance was mesmerising.
Thanks for putting this on here.

Lucifer chuckling and rubbing his hands together
No wonder the paper looks scorched

Great show by Sir Donald Pleasance 👏

Barrister Harvey Lawrence. Can anyone track down information on him?

Thank you for this upload…you just made my evening by the fire even better!

This reminds me of the British horror story "Casting the Runes," by M.R. James. The device of someone haunted by a piece of paper that does not leave him is very similar in both stories.

When television and story telling was at its pinnacle.

Woah. These are really based on true stories?

I remember Donald in an episode of columbo with Julie Harris. He was wonderful. Stole the show

Great artist we miss his talent

That's POET'S CORNER in HYDE PARK, LONDON.

Astounding and wonderful acting and ep.

Imagine allowing another human being to hang just to get a promotion.

Ditto! Dont make'em like that any more.

Donald plesance utter genius as an actor

Oh Donald Pleasance great! Great episode!

Interesting story, didn't see this one before. Thank you very much.

He could have and should have followed up on the woman/wife's appearance despite his doubts. The trial could have been held in abeyance.

Prosecutor's still convict innocent people .

I learned of him because of his roles in major films about Jesus Christ

The rare episodes were made in the UK

LOVE DONALD PLEASANCE!
BRAVO!

Donald Pleasance a truly great actor
Great episode

Donald's part in the movie The Great Escape also well done.

The confessor. The same character as the bum in the caretaker. Great performance.

Thanks 👍 for sharing this 😊😊❤❤

I remember Donald Pleasance in a touching Twilight Zone episode, "The Changing of the Guard".

Donald Pleasance always made his character portrayals believable.

Young Dr. Loomis… 🎃❤

Loved Him as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice🎬📽️🎭🎟️

Pleasance was a high indemand actor in so many shows and movies. He was on this and the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. Quite a run in those years. Of course he is always remembered as Dr. Loomis.

Citizen arrest. Notify police she is claiming to be wife and aware husband is accused of her murder, and refusing to become a prosecution witness to prevent a miscarriage of justice. It'll stand to get her in court.

What would you do?
