1970s - early 1980s Drama - "I'll cut out your heart & liver & eat"

[Richard1978]

I remember seeing on Telly Addicts a clip from a drama made in the 1970s or early 1980s, going by the style & grainy 16mm stock.

The clip had a yokelish man threatening a boy by saying "I'll cut out your heart & liver & eat".

The man might have been played by David Jackson, it was certainly the sort of role I could see him in.

If anyone has any idea what it was please let me know.

Only quote of that I can find is from "Great Expectations".. a BBC version perhaps?

In which case could it have been Great Expectations with Gerry Sundquist as Pip and Stratford Johns as Magwitch who would have probably said this? A BBC tv series in 1981.
