I loved that series. Such a brilliant story teller, Roald Dahl.

Is the relevant music the bit after about 3 minutes on tonyav's link- sounds a bit like Mike Oldfield's In Dulce Jubilo

[Gromit]

Don't know when that was first broadcast, but I remembered it from the intro.

A great episode. Love the disclaimer over the end credits as well :-)

[tonyav]

1980, Gromit.

[kelsolane]

Yes it's the music 3 minutes in can't find it anywhere

[tonyav]

Could be incidental music just for that episode.

[Tilly2]

I980's? No, surely it was the 1960's.

[kelsolane]

Yes tonyav that's the one

[tonyav]

1980, Yilly.

I was sure I used to watch these as a teenager. How wrong can I be? Doh.

[tonyav]

I can remember them from much further back than 1980 to, Yilly.

[Tilly2]

So, what's occuring, Yont?

I definitely remember watching Tales of the Unexpected on Saturday evenings when my Mum and Dad were out at the pub and I was in the house alone.

How weird!.

The one that was in the late 60s was called Tales of Mystery and Imagination I think. My mother loved it, really scary stories.

[tonyav]

Nope started 1979 apparently.

Maybe we are thinking of another tv series, that old American one that was mainly in Black and White.

[Tilly2]

Prudie, that's it. Thank you so much! I thought I was going mad.

BA to Prudie, please, Kelsolane.

[tonyav]

Yep, thats the one Prudie.

I remember watching a couple with my mum, scared the bewhotsits outta me.
