Unfamiliar artist for me but reposting for further investigation

This was on TV when I was about six. Young James Fox (billed as William) gets hold of a large magnet via dubious means - leading to a snowballing series of misdeeds. He becomes haunted by guilt and by visions of the magnet at the end of his bed getting closer and closer
