A View from a Hill by M R James, adapted for television by Peter Harness and directed by Luke Watson. A slightly tweaked version of the original story... a historian researching the archaeological collection of a country squire investigates the ruins of a nearby abbey with a pair of strangely heavy binoculars, which is conveniently placed next to a site called Gallows Hill. No prizes for guessing what went on there. Through the binoculars, which he later discovers were adapted somewhat gruesomely by a local watchmaker called Baxter, he can see the abbey as it was before its ruin, and fascinated, he returns at night to investigate the site of the abbey and gallows with hilarious* consequences.
