Episode description

"Leave the stones? You never will."


Described as "inappropriately" scary, this 1976 drama is considered to be a landmark in quality children's drama. And to be honest, it is.


British film was in the middle of a psychedelic folk-horror experiment, and it somehow managed to trickle down to ITV children's broadcasting. This is the result; a generation of traumatised adults!


We'll be discussing atonal caterwauling, received pronunciation, the burning sexual chemistry between Veronica Strong and Gareth Thomas, and why people seem to hate Morris dancing.


Happy day!
