    Gripping story

    Originally saw this when it first aired in the UK where I was living at the time. So disappointed that it's never been made available on DVD for North America.

    If you ever get a chance to see it think you'll enjoy.

    • Trivia
      The worship of 'demonic heads' was one of the charges in the trial of the Templars, and lies behind the serial's use of the face of Asmodeus. In reality, the 'Templar heads' were merely the supposed relics of early Christian martyrs, such as St Euphemia, which the Templars venerated in typical mediæval fashion. The knights were brutally tortured into confessing that they were something more sinister.
