Barbara Ewing

Guardian of the Abyss was first aired on the ITV network on the 15th of November 1980.

It stars Ray Lonnen, Barbara Ewing, John Carson, Rosalind Landor and Paul Darrow.

It was written by David Fisher and directed by Don Sharp.

Now, if you're a hammerhound of any calibre, you recognise some of those names.

Barbara Ewing from Future Weirdy, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, John Carson from previous weirdies The Plague Of The Zombies, Taste The Blood Of Dracula, and Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter.

And Rosalind Landor, who played Little Peggy in the greatest film ever made, The Devil Rides Out.

And, to top it all, Don Sharp, the director of previous weirdy Kiss of the Vampire.

He looks around at all the cowled figures in the ritual room and delights upon the beautiful face of Alison, played by Rosalind Landor.
