Mixing dark humour with horror and fantasy, these entertaining tales each build up to a startling final twist. Roald Dahl's playfully macabre adult stories launched this legendary British television series, which continued with stories of the same creepy ilk. A little bit Hitchcock, a little bit Twilight Zone, and wickedly entertaining. Authors of the tales in this set include Roald Dahl, W. Sommerset Maugham, and Antonia Fraser. Episode casts feature top-drawer talent, including John Alderton, Pauline Collins, Gayle Hnnicutt, Michael Jayston, Jane Asher, Roy Marsden, Joss Ackland, Cyril Cusack, Richard Briers, David Suchet, and Patricia Routledge.
