Love it. It is almost like a Radio4 (BBC) play.

Minimal synth heaven.

I wish they could find the original negatives, and release them on dvd/blu-ray proper.

That kitty cat said, “Meow. How are you?” 😸

0:03 That music intro sounds a lot like Sweet Child 'O Mine.

Reminded me of tales from the unexpected series.

Saw this when it was first shown and it scared the shit out of me. As a London gal this made me frightened of the countryside, and I still don't venture outside the M25 if I can help it!

I'm not sure how to fully explain it but for me when we entered the digital age of crystal clear sound and picture it became almost impossible to generate dread in a viewer. The things that truly terrify are things you think you saw or heard , not the thing you can see and hear clearly. Horror these days is jump scares and a genre very few talented directors want to take on and the genre suffers to this day where even low budget horror employs dodgy CGI Such a shame but I'm glad there are uploaders out there making sure that the more curious of the younger generation can still find gems like this if they care to look

It is that accusing word again she is ‘Hysterical’ and the man ignores what is going on Ugh! That aside; wish there were more plays like these but unfortunately don’t make them atmospheric like this anymore. Thank you for uploading.

Excellent narration . Back when people could string a correct sentence together without Americanisms

Hey I’ve got your bike! And I washed it 😂

Wow, what a crappy episode. Did he sleep with his cousin? That's the only thing that's remotely interesting here.

The narrator sounds about 50 years older than the character he's portraying.

I enjoyed this episode, But if that was me, I'd have a variety of firearms and took that whatever it is out. !!!!!

Id love to runaway here

I wonder if tales from dark side ripped from this

Bring these shows back, new stories, but similar synth sounds please. Oh and thank you Ed for putting this here :)

is he eating a raw potato?

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Thank you.

I've always dreamed of visiting the UK. Stories like this make me want it soo much more, perhaps one day. Thank you...from Long Island, NY.

*Perhaps the sound of escaping gas was a creature making flatus. This was my first thought and it is scary.*

An old friend owned a farm some distance from Madras, India. There were not beasts but spirits inhabiting that place, some several thousand acres of about a hundred farms. On certain nights they would spot a little ball of light moving over the fields and orchards from farm to farm. The dogs would go into frenzies of rage but stayed away from that light. The other animals too - chickens, goats, cattle - would become agitated. The belief that the locals held was that the dogs howled when they sensed or 'saw' a spirit, but when they went into barking paroxysms the spirit was evil.

All atmospher and little substance I did not bother to watch many of these as a boy.

boring

I imagine the that this must have felt like a spooky campfire-story, to the Kids who watched it! (But what a lovely spot to live! …I’ll buy it!) 😉😄 I loved playing/being Outdoors surrounded by Nature as a Kid (still do), but can clearly remember the feeling of terror that would sometimes rise-up when walking in a familiar place, and the birds would suddenly stop singing - or when, during a free-spirited nighttime game of ‘Sardines’ in the woods between Cousins, the familiar suddenly felt like dangerous-territory. …I can understand the fear of unknown-forces that has given-rise to Pagan beliefs. I still wonder if the feeling of being watched and hunted was always in My imagination, or wether I was in the presence of a Hunter. The last time I felt this way was as an Adult, having hiked-up a hillside overlooking Our camp during a trip to the Fairmont B.C. The slope was steep, just dry dirt and loose scree, so I was hot and winded then I reached the rocky outcropping that was My target. Sitting down upon the ledge, I looked-out over the valley - enjoying the cool breeze and the view of forested mountainsides, when suddenly I felt intensely afraid; I saw nothing nearby, but every cell of My body told Me that I’d become Prey. I couldn’t get out of there fast-enough, and slip-slides back down the hillside and into camp - laughing at myself, but still shaking from fear of whatever danger My senses told me that I’d ‘escaped’. The next-day We visited a nearby Nature-Centre, and learned that the hillside near Our camp was a long-time favourite of Cougars - raising cubs in dens there, and sunning themselves upon the slope’s rocky ledges. …I hadn’t seen Them, but They definitely saw Me!

That was a Lovley place.. Pity it was haunted..

Odd things happen in Devon & Cornwall. Still do now & I have seen things which simply have no explanation at all whatsoever. I would not wonder around outside on your own at night, even close to towns. Get yourself to your bed before midnight & doors & windows locked. You do not want to find yourself in the position I am in of having seen things that no one believes, but knowing what you definitely, clearly, saw.

You think this is frightening, I had a very true terrifying encounter in 1975 in Essex (SouthEast) & i still suffer PTSD from it. It was a Werewolf yet not anything like what they portray as a man changing into a beast.. what i saw had hind legs, a long snout with hands. No illusion either, It was pure flesh & blood too.

Looks like I'll be going exploring.

Good job mate 👍 Cheers from Australia kindest Regards Dan and Kerri 🤝

@26:28 - "FFS ! Can I not even have a shit in peace ?? "

No Guns in films ,Guns bring violence

Ive seen two panthers dead shot on Bodmin in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Quickly and quietly buried

Bill was confronting the Beast in his pyjamas and carrying a torch. No one of lifes seriously prepared individuals.

they seem to fine away with life

A wonderful tale.

This story made me want a crusty bun and an analog synthesizer.

'Perhaps she was becoming erotic', did I hear that correctly?

Now there is a beast of bodmin moor. That has been spotted in the Forest of Dean.

Enjoyed the video, the music got muted.

Not much of a story

Dont remember watching these in the early 80s...will watch em now..I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I just started watching. So far, looks good. A bit too much narrative

FFS - just give it a good kicking!

A bit of folk horror!

The actor who played The Beast was also the Child of Vodyjanoi.

This was filmed on my farm when I was a kid!

i love west country butter :)

The Countryside, Wild, Raw, peaceful yet haunting!

The age of these films now adds a dimension of interest in seeing the world as it was then!
