Hi Miss Winthrop, that series is actually called Thriller.  Some of the episodes were shown in a later evening slot (maybe on Thursday nights?) as the ABC Mystery Movie, I believe.  (The same slot in which Grayson's lost film with Diana Davila, The Two Deaths of Sean Doolittle, aired.)

I am hoping to get the remainder of the shows from the UK, since A & E never issued any of the remaining episodes over here in the US.  I love Diana Dors' episode, The Devil's Web (aka "Nurse will make it better")--it has a very DS feel to it...

Such a wonderful capture of Mrs Pettibone & Roger today--the nicest shot of this bit I've ever seen.  Love that we can glimpse Liz in the background as well.  I'm of course forgetting the actress who played Mrs. P, and her scene in Leviathan was just discussed too.  She had a wonderfully seedy way about her that of course comes through in a very different way of Mrs P who perhaps was Rockport gentry?

You know I really dig the snap of Mrs J in the other slide show today.  I just love that apron.

cheers, G.

I saw that they have an entry for it (and the Mikey Douglas thing too) but I'm not sure whether either one is currently slated for video release.  They sometimes put placeholders up for films that may or may not be released in the coming months.

It's really too bad the footage for Grayson's deleted scenes from that movie were never recovered.  If a DVD came out with those, it would be a HUGE event in Hall-o-holic circles.

I don't think Todd is working on this series.  So far as I know, he now works with Kristin Chenoweth.  Great guy, though...

I am quite curious to see some of this--maybe I can find it on that website... (no TV here anymore...)

cheers, G.

I think what almost immediately follows this shot is the first shot of Barnabas in the movie.  I always find that shot to be an unbelievably disappointing moment.  Even at age 12 when I first saw the film I was sophisticated enough to find this visual introduction of the character to be beyond underwhelming. 

On the whole, I actually find hoDS to be a visually compelling, occasionally even stylish film--that and the score are its strengths--but they really fell down in the filming of Barn's introduction to the Collinwood gang, in my not-so-humble opinion.

I'm guessing that this was one of those moments where they simply ran out of time and they were stuck using the best take from the rushes available for the final cut.

That line IS a classic!

God, how I love Jane Draper!  Today's capture is a wonderful portrait of that paragon amongst women, Mrs Suki Forbes.  What a treat!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:  Jane Draper should have been brought back in a recurring role.  I would have loved her dry wit and understated asperity in 1897.
