A British anthology series, comprising five different stories, all of which are from the horror/ thriller/ mystery genre.
If you're a fan of shows such as Tales of The Unexpected, Scorpion Tales and possibly even X Files, I think you may well enjoy this series, there really is something for everyone.
Episode quality does vary a little, personally my favourite was the opener, Prophecy, which is something of a pot boiler, a seance in a basement story, but it offers a great deal.
Toby is decent, but considering the cast and the ideas, it's maybe a tad disappointing, I felt they could have made it a little bit more chilling.
Such a shame this show lasted just the one series, made back in the 90's when anthology shows were out of favour, and horror TV series were almost invisible.
Martin Clunes, John Simm, Peter Egan and Mel Martin, just some of the names you can look forward to seeing here.
A longer series would have been good, but I have learned to enjoy what we were given, an original, different series.
8/10.
