During the events of Edge of Sanity (1989) played by Noel Coleman
Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde tells Egglestone about his drug discovery and Egglestone insists he announce its creation at the Vienna conference. Egglestone tells Jekyll that if Egglestone is sent to Calcutta, then Jekyll may get his job on the board of governors at the hospital. Egglestone then leaves to speak with Mr Bollingham and tells him about Jekyll's work, but Jekyll warns there might be side effects to the drug. At Egglestone's going away dinner, Elisabeth Jekyll tells Egglestone she made Jekyll promise they will come and visit them. At the dinner, a member comments on the murders in London and Mr Bollingham tells her there is no reason to worry. Her husband comments India is probably just like the Whitechapel district. Egglestone argues that the inhabitants of India don't realize that civilization can offer them a better life. Elisabeth mentions Reverend Fowler and Mrs Egglestone asks who Fowler is. Elisabeth tells her Fowler is the reverend at St. Michael's in Whitechapel and says how he has opened the church to the prostitutes. Jekyll tells the others that they would not know what to do if they were suddenly given absolute freedom and Mrs Bollingham asks if she isn't already free. Jekyll then describes what he means by total freedom by taking the food of the first woman and grabbing the arm of Mrs Egglestone. Jekyll shortly after leaves the dinner table after telling other man at table that he would have to be caught first before society could be put in prison.
