Freaky One off BBC Drama

[loolybaby65]

I was trying to tell my children about a BBC drama where a man invented a machine in his shed, and could hear screaming when his neighbour cut the grass, or when his wife pruned the hedge or cut flowers. He had found out that plants had feelings! Can anyone remember what it was called - I'm going to try and get BBC to show it again!
