I'm trying to work out if something is a short story or anthology TV -- it was about an OCD guy (the religious sort that think the world will end if they don't do their thing (tap their ear seven times and turn clockwise when a dog barks, or whatever)) who is medicated and cured, except -- the world does start to fall apart. The doctor that cured him can't convince him to go back on his meds, and realises that he needs to become OCD to save the world.
Does this ring bells?
ita, I'm almost positive I saw that on TV. I think it was the version of the Twilight Zone that was hosted by Forrest Whitaker, but I can't find any hint of it in any episode guides. There was a particular thing he had to do to keep planes from falling out of the sky, etc., and when the medication kicked in and he stopped doing his rituals, planes fell out of the sky, etc.
Thank you. I was sure it was in colour, which I guess meant recent Outer Limits/Twilight Zone, or my brain. Now I can track it down.
Would anyone like a copy of
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell?
I have a copy that's looking for a good home.
Anne, if it hasn't found a good home yet, I'd like to have it.
It's yours! I'll get it out of here in a few days. I'll have to check to make sure that I have your current addy.
You're a love, thank you. I'll just e-mail you the current right now.
I have some things to send you. Should I wait until you're moved?
Go ahead and send, since I'll be here until Marchish, I think.
Awesome. Would you send back your current address, then, so I'm sure I've got it?
