Featured review
70's Spookyness
A wonderful collection of atmospheric tales of the Supernatural penned by the likes of J.B. Priestley and Roger Marshall not to mention Ace of Wands creator Trevor Preston.
Featuring tales of long dead witches, ghosts from the future and my personal favorite featuring a very young Pauline Quirke a story about 3 teenagers and a old haunted Tudor mansion.
There are all 7 episodes of the first series shot in 1975 on the network DVD release. Some great actors feature like Jenny Agutter, Russell Hunter John Nettleton and a very young Sophie Ward.
Some stories stronger than others; but series one is by far the best. Sadly the writing became poorer and the acting hammier in later series.
But takes you back to the day's before children's TV became Americanised, patronizing and bland.
