Tales of the Unexpected - Set 3 (DVD, 2005)

The sight of the writer Roald Dahl sitting by a roaring fire in a comfortable armchair greeted viewers tuning in to the popular British television show TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, which ran from 1979 to 1988. Dahl offered a brief introduction to each show, neatly setting the scene for the adaptations of his short stories that followed. Packed full of suspense and drama, every episode was a self-contained treat, with a brand new set of characters and scenarios unfolding each week. A variety of well-respected British notables from stage and screen appear in the episodes collected here, resulting in some nail-biting chills for viewers at home.
