Tales of Unease: The Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

The DVD from Network includes extensive viewing notes from veteran Andrew Pixley, and they are certainly very informative although it’s a pity that Johnny Mains wasn’t involved. The world’s biggest authority on John Burke would have added much to this highly anticipated release. Special Features

An obscure, largely unknown horror portmanteau series broadcast in November to December 1970 has been dug up from deep in the ITV archive. Off the shelf masters from the LWT vaults presented on disc by Network. The final episode, The Old Banger, written by Richardson Morgan (Rogin in The Ark in Space, Doctor Who fans) may be the best remembered of the series. A couple (Terence Rigby and Pinky Johnstone) abandon their old, unwanted car on the other side of London, but the car has other ideas…and if you’ve ever wondered how a car can enter a suburban living room without damaging either the house or itself, then wonder no more. A highly effective central concept, with the message that you have to have to take responsibility for your possessions (John is training homing pigeons in case subtext isn’t your strong suit), including when you dispose of them. But this episode is played with a lightness of touch that undercuts much of the menace. Possibly it was more effective in prose. Pinky Johnstone in The Old Banger.

Alison and her stepbrother Roger are on a family holiday at a remote Welsh cottage. She discovers a service of old dinner plates, which have a strange floral pattern that turns into owls when traced to paper. But what is the connection between this owl service, the strange gardener, the angry housekeeper and the mysterious local legend? Gradually the uncanny power of the valley takes over and the legend begins to unfold.

Hmmm, another thought. Now I know you're miles away from Bradford but the National Media Museum have a "TV Heaven" section where you can watch old programmes, so long as they have copies. Now, I'm wondering if their "sister" museum, the Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI), has the same kind of set-up? If so, if you're going to London some time, that might help? Bad Bad Jo Jo written by Midnight Cowboy scribe James Leo Herlihy centres on a retiring comic book writer meeting a couple of over enthusiastic fans. Roy Dotrice has huge fun as the louche Hathaway, whose careless creations have made him famous. The pen is apparently mightier than the sword, and if you live by the pen, well then… Roy Dotrice in Bad Bad Jo Jo.If like me you really love supernatural stories then drama series Tales of Unease from 1970 is going to be a must have this month. Network are set to release Tales of Unease The Complete Series on DVD in the UK.
