"TP McKenna and the beautiful Mary Peach enliven our screens on Monday in Fixation, a tale of terror and obsesssion. McKenna whose name makes him sound rather like a cricketer, says that until this summer he had commuted for eight years between his family in Dublin and his work in England; and those 300 flights were as nothing to the two dasy he spent on a North sea ferry-boat trip between Immingham, Lincolnshire and Gothenburg in Sweden, on location for Fixation. Everyone brought their guts up, and one violent scene on deck had to be postponed until they reached port because the winds wwere so strong." (Excerpt from TV Times feature interview by Alix Coleman)
Production stills featuring TP in studio and on location with actors Mary Peach and Shane Briant
Great stills. What an intriguing production. I wonder if the orginal tape stills exists. If so, let's hope a DVD release may be possible someday soon!

Thanks for your comment, Robert. This was an Anglia Television production but I don't know how successfully they managed their archive. The stills have found their way into the Rex Features picture library who seem to have picked up an interest diversity of production stills. In the last couple of shots TP is passing quite successfully for Peter Finch!
