LOOK OUT!



I found out how to do it! For those of you that were unlucky and missed out on the wonderment that was 'Tales Of The Unexpected', here is the oh-so-familiar opening sequence. It was an early 80's weekly TV drama, each one from a Roald Dahl short story, and had a (terrifying to a little Pod) twist. I remember one had the lovely Joan Collins in it even! I wanted to play the music to open the post below, so this will have to do. Was anyone else frightened by the music? And where is the dancing lady now I wonder?

Tales of The Unexpected was brilliant - I wish I could see the whole of The Mugger now. Thanks for putting it up.

Sale of the Century - with Nickerless Parsons Nose as we used to refer to him (goodness what a hilarious family we were!).

Susan Hampshire - she was always in Tales wasn't she? I might have to purchase the box set. I got given the entire box det of The Sweeney last Christmas - I was so happy. Such a saddo!

Ha Haaa! Nickerless Parsons Nose. I do larf. My family was silly like that too, thank heavens. How funny. Susan Hampshire was in everything, or was that Susanna Yorke? I always mix them up. I fear I may have to get the 'Tales' boxset too, just to see how much i remember. I can recollect an ending shot of the close-up of a mans arm, with fuzzy bee-hair growing out from under his cuff, and him saying (or buzzing) 'bzzzzzzz'
