Gormenghast + The Nightmare Man

What does a turn-of-the-century fantasy-with-humor series have to do with a 1981 horror/SciFi series? Well, not much except Celia Imrie had leading roles in both. But it's a 2-for-1 so who cares?
Gormenghast was a BBC/WGBH co-production broadcast on both sides of the Atlantic.
Based on the works of Mervyn Peake, it featured an all-star cast.
The Nightmare Man takes place on a remote Scottish island, but was actually filmed in Port Isaac, Cornwall, where Imrie would return years later for the filming of the first Doc Martin episode. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare_Man
