Ah, what a shame. RIP. A memorably sinister performance!
Also good value in Doctor Who and the War Machines in 1966.

I have it on DVD, must say it's my cup of tea, yet so quirky I wouldn't recommend it to everybody.
All four episodes were on youtube two weeks ago, probably still there, go opportunity to try before buying. |

Don't expect to get to the end of an episode and know what has just happened though;) 
I've watched it several times over the years but I'm still none the wiser. I enjoy the performances and the atmosphere though. |

Yes, Corridor People is so weird, it's such a Sixties style of dramatic acting - and totally confusing all the time! John Sharp is creepy as ever and Liz is stylishly evil.
