The series was also strongly cast with appearances from the likes of Susan George, James Hazledine, Michael Culver, Talfryn Thomas, Tessa Wyatt, Roy Dotrice and Terence Rigby. There are a number of candidates for best episode of the series, with The Old Banger being my personal favourite. Automotive horror is a rare beast, but it's wonderfully played out here as a vengeful motorcar surreptitiously snakes its way across London to settle a score with its previous owners. It's a curious tale, one which finds central characters John (Terence Rigby) and Sue Partridge (Pinkie Johnstone) making their way through a comedy of inconveniences before sliding into the absurd and tumbling headfirst towards a horrific ending. It's unlike anything I've seen and writer Richardson Morgan is to be praised for his contribution here.Filmed almost entirely on location during the spring of 1969 and broadcast during the winter of 1969-1970, this remarkable adaptation of Alan Garner's award-winning novel was a radical production that raised the bar for what viewers could expect from a teenage drama – and which was a significant influence on children's television throughout the 1970s. This extraordinary tale of the supernatural, sexual jealousy and class division broke new ground and is presented here as a brand-new high definition remaster from original film elements in its original full screen aspect ratio. Frightened, yet amused by her first positive action in 20 years of marriage, she wonders what she will do when he realises his predicament. She will let him out, of course – or will she? Adapted from John Rowe Townsend's award-winning novel and produced by BAFTA winner Peter Plummer, whose credits include the highly acclaimed adaptation of Alan Garner's The Owl Service, this unsettling and atmospheric mystery series won the prestigious Harlequin award at 1973's BAFTAs. Starring James Bate as an isolated teenage boy who undergoes a disturbing loss of identity and Milton Johns as his unlikely nemesis, The Intruder is featured here as a brand-new high definition remaster from original film elements in its original fullscreen aspect ratio.

Hathaway is about to go into tax exile but decides to entertain a couple of fans. The two fans like to dress up as the characters and act out their fantasies. Hathaway is their next victim.

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.

We don’t see the crash, nor the circumstances surrounding it. So was Sarah a harbinger of David’s impending doom? We don’t get an answer to that either. It leaves a slightly unpleasant taste in the mouth. 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
