Tales of Unease: The Complete Series DVD / Normal

As was somewhat typical with the ITV regions of the late sixties and early seventies Tales of Unease went out at different times in different regions.Big Story, The 1 9 4 9 - 1 9 5 7 (USA) 315 x 30 minute episodes “Stories from The Big Story Newsstand. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. The series was script-edited by John Burke, with some of the stories coming from the short story collections of the same name he edited in the late ‘60s. Of course, the businessmen aren’t really characters in their own right, it’s what they represent, not who they are, that is the focus.

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.Tales of Unease may not be in quite the same league as the aforementioned show but, quite frankly, what is? Ultimately a lack of networking between the ITV regions would mean that not many people got to see Tales of Unease, a fate that would also befall The Frighteners, the next LWT series that John Burked worked on with Paul Knight, and it’s too be hoped this commercial release gives this mixed but innovative, imaginative series the audience it deserves.

Two years earlier, BBC Two had given us Late Night Horror, a series which delivered rather too well on its title promise, garnering enough complaints to be taken off air after six episodes.Tales of Unease was a British supernatural drama series based on a series of horror story anthologies, edited by John Burke. Disc extras are limited to a single fine still gallery but another Andrew Pixley viewing notes booklet is also included, although not provided for review. Have found a forum that deals with pulp tv - and put out a cry for help, and someone has promised me two episodes!

Tales of Unease The Complete Series DVD - October 2022

John (Terence Rigby) and Susan (Pinkie Johnstone) Partridge take their old car to a scrap yard, only to keep seeing it again in the streets they are using. 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. Image and sound are solid for a series such as this made on combination of 16mm film and PAL 625 line videotape. Despite them all being (currently) available on Youtube the series is a bit too hit and miss and I'd say that, unless you're a completist for anthologies from this era, it's probably not worth your time.These cookies can only be read from the domain that it is set on so it will not track any data while browsing through another sites. In terms of "out-and-out horror", very little, if any, surfaces throughout the series and, in fact, it feels very quaint compared to the more infamous horrors of the early 1970s. What the series overall did lack though was some sort of underlying theme or uniting premise behind the decision to tell these particular stories. Here, two businessmen played by John Stratton and Michael Culver face the consequences of their decision to automate their factory when a disgruntled employee seizes the controls. The producers of Tales of Unease– including Peter Wildebloode, whose primary fame now stems from his campaign for the legalisation of homosexuality – seemed to jump at chances to get out on location, lending a cinematic atmosphere to stories which might seem tame and cosy under studio lights.
