Hi all
I'm looking for a TV episode or movie that disturbed me greatly when I was a child.
A man in his 20s/30s lives alone in a 2nd or 3rd story apartment and is stalked and harassed by an unknown person. His mother hanged herself when he was a kid and the memory has traumatized him the rest of his life. Somebody keeps leaving dolls with mini nooses tied around their necks outside his door. He reports this to a detective (who happens to be the main character of this show/movie). One night there's a knock at his door, he goes out to investigate and finds a few more dolls with nooses around their necks. When he tries to walk back inside an unseen person leaps out and pushes him over the balcony.
My initial thought was this was episode of a regional British detective series from the 90s/2000s (Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost). However after much trawling and googling, I can't find an episode description corresponding to my memory. There's a chance it was a movie or possibly a mini series. I have no memory of the resolution so it's possible that what I saw was 'part 1' that finished after the balcony pushing. I watched it on TV in the Republic of Ireland. My best approximation for when it aired is between 1999 and 2005 (most likely 2002-04) with a high chance it aired on the UK's BBC, ITV or Channel 4.
