An ill fated, obscure, much forgotten six part series of one off episodes, at times they feel like episodes of Thriller, and at other times they feel like episodes of Tales of the Unexpected.
A very mixed bag overall, some are pretty good, others aren't. I thought the best episode of the lot was Mr Clay, Mr Clay, this was very accomplished, a dramatic and pretty shocking mystery, this one really did hit the spot. Bright Smiler is also a very enjoyable, off the wall Mystery.
Sadly, the standard is varied, The Thirteenth day of Christmas for example is a very poor episode, it feels disjointed from the other episodes, and generally just doesn't work.
Nicely made, and well acted, great acting from the likes of Patricia Hodge, Elizabeth Spriggs and Jane Asher.
It doesn't surprise me that people don't remember it, it is pretty forgettable. 6/10.
