I couldn't resist and watched it. Well, parts of it. I began to fast forward. The thing I found most remarkable was some music. The sheer nerve of these people.

Yes! The music even stirred the missus through from the other room who thought I was watching PSYCHO! She left disappointed.

I'm watching the episode "Death has a thousand faces" which aired as part of Adam Adamant Lives! in 1966. The episode is set in Blackpool and a poster prominently featuring Arthur Askey's name, headlining in some sort of holiday entertainment, is prominently displayed beside a booth on one of the main sets (supposed to be an area of the resort known as the "Golden Mile").

A copy of the withdrawn and destroyed Third Pan Book of Ghost Stories makes a special guest appearance in Heartbeat Christmas ghost episode, Echoes of the Past. What is the story? Shades of Linda Lovecraft? Or just a boring copyright infringement? |

Those are marvelous shots. Great to see. Thanks, Dem!
I'm actually watching a fairly recent American television series now, Motherland: Fort Salem (series one, filmed 2019 I presume) and while I am enjoying it and the writing and acting are quite good, it just all looks so damned odd. Half the time everyone and everything seems to be moving or floating through golden syrup or ash-blue-grey mist and the superfine HD means that you see a dot of schmutz on somebody's eyelash from 20 feet away. But I guess this is entertainment today.
Nattering on, Hel

Aubrey Morris was great in his scenes in Night Caller (almost typed Night Crawler, ha). Almost seemed as if he was in a completely different movie. Which he may well have been, in his own mind. Deftly limned characterization.
cheers, Hel.
