Beasts (1976) - What Big Eyes
An extremely talky episode of Nigel Kneale's memorable series in which RSPCA officer Michael Kitchen investigates mysterious disappearances of wolves seemingly associated with Patrick Magee's dingy pet shop
This is pretty much a two hander between a very young Kitchen who comfortably holds his own against the established Magee who conducts experiments in Lycanthropy on himself. Madge Ryan playing Magee's daughter flits in and out of proceedings.
The conclusion is fittingly tense but *Spoiler alert* doesn't realy go anywhere.
