Another good one from this series is "Viktoria," with a sympathetic role for Catherine Schell and a complex one for Judy Cornwell (who was a regular, or semi-regular, on KEEPING UP APPEARANCES in the 1990s).  This one involves retribution via doll magic and a twisted gay subtext, among other themes.

I don't think this series ever aired on the MYSTERY show on PBS and I can think of a number of reasons why not, at least back in the time of the late 1970s...

Fans,

A few evenings ago I stumbled upon this amazing playlist on Youtube.  It includes (from number 93 onwards) the seven episodes of a short lived 1976 British anthology series, SUPERNATURAL.  The episodes I've watched thus far are very reminiscent of DS--lots of character moments, emphasis on mood and atmosphere, and psychological twists.  Please note that episodes 2 and 3 constitute a two part story (which could accurately be given the title of the first of the two parts, COUNTESS ILONA).  These scripts were written by actress Billie Whitelaw's husband Robert Muller and seem to be intended as a kind of homage to the themes of Victorian horror, but again, with a twist.

I am enjoying this a lot--perhaps other fans will, as well.

The framing story involves a very exclusive gentlemen's club in London.  The rules of the club are that each prospective new member must tell a horror yarn to the assembled members.  If for whatever reason they don't care for his story, they will kill him.  And so it begins...

cheers, G.

Oh boy, Uncle Roger.  I'm just trying to imagine Parker's face during that conversation!  I think I was present at one fan q & a where someone asked her about NIGHT STALKER and she just said that she didn't get along with McGavin.

Thanks for the responses. I guess my friend isn't going to be watching any more DS online. 

cheers, G.

Those are awesome captures, MB.  I have not seen the episode so it was fun to see these.

Best,  G.

Maybe the new disc has been put on hold for a Halloween release?  Let's hope we hear something eventually.

I appreciate what folks here have shared about what was said, or at least scheduled, regarding the new release last year.

Gawd.  Well, I keep telling you that my short term memory is in tatters... now you have documented proof.

That was a delicious photo of Jason you unearthed for that ad.  Fabulous work!

I need to look up who played Joe... he really was quite the sex bomb.

Thanks for taking the time to make these, MB!

cheers, G.
