Kid Dynamite 9342 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is that a spoiler? Apologies if so, I don't think everyone thinks it fizzled out. I still get pissed off about people spoiling The Koran, so my bad. I didn't think it fizzled. First 8 episodes tell the main story. 9&10 wrap it up Class tv and hard to believe how shady the local police are. The 2 lawyers seem to be the only 2 normal people involved in the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 26385 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thought the Beeb's adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None was class. Proper old skool atmospheric thriller. It's 3 x 60 min parts which you can still see via iPlayer. Just watched the first one. Good stuff, quite creepy. Very watchable. I used to love poirot, miss marple stuff as a boy. On a similar note, does anyone remember box of delights? I loved that when it was in back in the 80s. The whole thing is on YouTube if anyone fancies a nostalgia trip.

David Kelly 1839 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Finished watching it tonight. Police seem dodgy as fuck but I wonder about how prejudiced the makers of the show are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box of Delights was great, I remember it as one of the TV highlights of my childhood. I read the book as well, which was also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42163 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The Box of Delights was really good, aye. Seem to remember it ran up to Xmas. Think they showed it again the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 42163 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The Children of Green Knowe was another one the beeb ran in the run up to Xmas, around the same time as The Box of Delights. It was similarly spooky but not quite as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1839 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Did you ever watch those programs at school (Look and Learn maybe?) that were part entertainment part educational. There was a few different ones, I think one the was called The Boy From Outer Space and another was Dark Towers. The Dark Towers one was quite creepy as a bairn I seem to remember.
