Perhaps this is the final artwork for Doomwatch.

Unaired episode as well.

From Melon Farmers:

"Symptoms is a 1974 UK / Belgium horror by José Ramón Larraz (as Joseph Larraz).
Starring Angela Pleasence, Peter Vaughan and Lorna Heilbron

UK: Passed 15 uncut for strong violence for:

2016 BFI R2 DVD/RB Blu-ray Combo at UK Amazon released on 18th April 2016

There are no censorship issues with this release

Promotional Material

The official British Palme d'Or entry at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, Symptoms is a sophisticated modern gothic horror film exploring the themes of sexual repression and psychosis.

Larraz's dark and stylish film tells of a young woman (Lorna Heilbron) who is invited by her girlfriend (Angela Pleasence) to stay at her remote English country mansion. Events take a disturbing turn when a menacing groundkeeper (Peter Vaughan) interrupts their time together, and a woman's body is found in the mansion's lake.

Other than a limited theatrical release and a late-night screening on British television in the early 80s, Larraz's film has slipped into obscurity, and the original negative was long thought lost, assuring it a place in the BFI's 'Most Wanted' list. Following the rediscovery of the original negatives in 2014, the dark delights of Symptoms can finally be experienced again in this new restoration, undertaken by the Belgian Cinematek.

Apparently there is gong to be one but they've marketed it really poorly - I don't think it's even on their site.
