In 1975, Thames Television produced a supernatural anthology series for children. This lasted for three seasons between 1975 and 1978, and included actors like John Nettleton, Gareth Thomas, Jenny Agutter, Pauline Quirke and Brian Glover...
Writers of the stories featured include J.B. Priestly, Fay Weldon and PJ Hammond.
It's also well known for re-introducing the character of Mr. Stabs in one episode, who first appeared in the Ace Of Wands series, and later went on to appear in Dramarama...
Anyway, I discovered it via some episodes someone uploaded to Youtube, and being the season of spooky, I decided to share some of them with you lot! About an hour and a half's worth in fact...
Dim the lights, grab a cup of cocoa and lose yourself in the sort of atmosphere that's missing from most ghostly TV shows these days because of an overuse of music and jump scares....
They do all seem to have a bit of an obsession with time, though.....

Ooh great, another series to binge on :D
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see Beasts? A six-episode anthology series from 1976, I REALLY wanted to like it but it just wouldn't connect, somehow...
Oh.. no, don't think I've seen Beasts! That's another one for me to go and hunt down! Cheers! :)
