Shadows (1975)

Shadows was a children's tv series that ran for three years. series one which i've just finished comprises of seven stand alone 25 minute dramas aimed at younger audiences.

The stories are of varying quality as you'd expect and not all are successful however those that did work which was about half of them at least in a chilling sense. The Waiting Room about an eerie old railway station platform reminded me of Sapphire and Steel's Second Assignment and The Witches Bottle - a spine chiller about witchcraft and an old oak tree which had similarities to The Ash Tree (1975).

The productions had decent casts including Jenny Agutter, Pauline Quirke, Gareth Thomas, Sophie Ward and John Woodvine and some interesting scripts from the likes of Trevor Preston (Ace of Wands) Roger Marshall (Public Eye) and surprisingly The Old Dark House's JB Priestley.

All the tales are suitably atmospheric, the two mentioned above in particular, and explore alternate realities as well as ghostly goings on which play on childhood fears and preoccupations.

By now i know what i'm getting with these Network spooky series from the 70's and Shadows is a welcome addition to my collection

Hopefully watch Westwood Ep3 tonight, I've really enjoyed the first two episodes. Also started Wolf Creek the other night, excellent first episode.

Exorcist episode 5 excellent episode and was not expecting the revelation at the end but thinking about it now it's quite obvious. Can't wait see how everything is going to pan out

Just watched the first two episodes of Class the latest Doctor Who spin off series.
Quite enjoyed it, a bit rushed in places and a little rough around the edges but watchable enough.

Comes across as a mix of Sarah Jane and Torchwood to me.

Liked the first episode better of the two, the Doctor cameo was nice, the lead kids were likeable enough, with the Miss Quill teacher character being quite entertaining, her uncaring nature made for a nice contrast with the kids and i thought she was quite sexy too.

So generally good and i will watch the rest as they air.

I really enjoyed Series 1 of Shadows, The Waiting Room was the stand out episode and for me the weakest was the 2 naughty boys in detention seeing the ghosts of miners. I need to watch the next series this week I think in the lead up to Halloween.

I didn't mind that one at all. I thought the worst was that silly Goodfellas type one with the shoes.

It's funny because I enjoyed how daft that was
