Underworld: Lady Ffshaw



Sally Scrout was a lowly washerwoman from the 17th Century, who, through a series of unfortunate coincidences began to dabble in the dark arts. She managed to seduce the lord of the manor in rural 1645 and wedded him. On their wedding night, she revealed her true nature to her husband and attempted to bind him to her will. However, he was, to her surprise, strong enough to resist her magic and he managed to summon the local torch-and-pitchfork-wielding mob. As she was about to be burned alive at the stake she was mysteriously transported to 1970s London.

Unlike most of the witches in Underworld who were naturally suited to exploiting organised crime gangs and general low-life, Sally Scrout had always been attracted to the power afforded to the nobility. She soon found the hapless Lord Prentonville Ffshaw, third viscount Warminster, and seduced him. Despite opposition from his family, Lord Ffshaw proposed to Sally, a proposition that would prove fatal. The Underworld episode, A Game Bird, featured Sally Scrout’s marriage to Lord Ffshaw and her plot to get rid of him and take control of the family fortune.

Lady Ffshaw’s appearance was popular with audiences and many episodes were planned to feature her and the idyllic countryside locations, these included The Peasant Shoot, This is my Manor… House, and The Dogs of Warminster. Unfortunately all these episodes were cancelled because industrial action at the time meant the location film crews were not allowed to travel more than 300 yards from the 7TV studios.
