The Next Step Beyond: Possessed (1978)
One of the better episodes of the Next Step Beyond
Possessed is written by One Step Beyond (and Next Step Beyond) creator Merwin Gerard and has elements of the original series. The characters all play their roles nicely and bring the aura of the One Step Beyond to the dismal new series. Many of the other episodes would receive a 4 star or lower rating.
Real life married couple Gene and Toni Bull Bua play Paul and Caroline Adams, yet another couple trying to rekindle their failing relationship (common premise in both series). After Caroline becomes possessed by the soul of a Hispanic woman, Paul, a Sheriff's Sergeant, and local Doctor try to figure out what has happened to her.
I can easily see this episode being produced in black and white with American or British actors with little changes in the script.
