FROM PETRONIUS.
This DVD box set of all 112 episodes includes over 20 which were never shown in the United Kingdom, having been made and produced in the United States. Some of the best episodes are in this category, including such stars as George Peppard, Sharon Gless and Joan Hackett. However, all episodes of the usual 28 minute run feature acting and production values which will never be approached in the 'reality-ridden' content which masquerades as Television nowadays. In the first 2 series, introduced by Roald Dahl, much of his own work is used. Later series involve a wide range of other authors of the weird and horrific such as Angela Carter and W.W.Jacobs. The quality of the acting is of the highest order with such thespians as Sir John Gielgud and Sir John Mills amongst many others.
A word of warning. Do not watch this in large doses. Look on it as you would a collection of short stories. Sip carefully over a long period of time, to extract the best from this unique box set. It will never be available again.

Contains all 9 series of this spell binding series which is the uk's version of The Twilight Zone.Making my way through this monster of a box set and i am really enjoying it.I try not to read the episode descriptions inside the dvd cases as sometimes they give too much info and i prefere to be swept away and find the surprises myself whilst watching them.A lot of episodes were filmed in and around Norwich as Anglia TV were responsible for the production so its nice to spot locations I recognise as I live in the same area.Go on treat yourself to this set and relax and enjoy with a big glass of red wine in your favourite armchair.Fantastic!
