The Killings at Badger's Drift
Badgers Drift was the pilot and what a way to start.
An old lady is found dead in her cottage. No-one can understand why as she was a lovely lady who kept herself to herself. The only indication that the viewer gets is that at the start of the episode she witnesses something unsettling in the woods.
