Armchair Thriller - Rachel in Danger

Ten-year-old Rachel is sent to live with her estranged father. However, just hours before her arrival, her father is murdered and his identity stolen by a terrorist.

I always remember this from 78 or 79 when I was home ill from school, in bed watching a little portable t.v. I came across "armchair thriller" and all these years later I still remembered the opening credits with the shadow and the chair... I couldn't remember much about the episode apart from Rachel's dad being in the airing cupboard and' him falling out when Rachel opened the cupboard. I searched for it and, as I watched it all came back to me... funny how some things stay in your head for so long!😊Oh and, I did fake my illness so I could watch the other episodes to the garden party. 🤣🤣🤣

and im ill now in bed watching it...I had forgotten this until today..

А я смотрел этот эпизод дома у бабушки, скорее всего лет в 6 - 7, и мне тоже запомнилась эта сцена. Но т.к. после того, как Рэйчел обнаружила своего отца мертвым начинались титры, я все это время думал, что это конец истории. И кто бы мог подумать, что спустя столько лет, какой-то энтузиаст решит самостоятельно перевести всего два эпизода этого сериала на русский язык, и одним из них окажется этот, и я наконец узнаю, что это целая шпионская история в британском стиле 😀

i also remember it - i was 6 and remember the body falling out and the man telling Rachel he had to kill him … I remember my mum knitting and saying “ clever how she noticedhe always takes his glasses off”. … yes it certainly is strange the things we remember…. 46 years later! I wonder what time it was shown, it can’t have been late enough

I faked illness every Tuesday as a kid to watch the Mallens

What great art is?? It's how it stays within you through the YEARS ❣️ Maybe that's why the word HEART,❤️ HAS ART WITHIN IT. 💯💪🇬🇧📽️🤩

Really good. I liked the child. She was polite, obedient, helpful and intelligent. Sad too what she said at the end.

[@Ali-gb7mf]

Good story, though they didn't make much effort to act like a married couple in Rachel's presence.

Pre tales of the unexpected

[@mauricebederon869]

2'34'' "Geh weg von mir, nicht schnell nicht schuldbewusst! Wir kennen uns nicht!" Which kind of German should that be? Wir kennen uns nicht! That is okay! We do not know each other. But "schuldbewusst", means something like feeling guilty. Behave normal, so that nobody would think that we have a relationship or being familiar to each other, meeting us before.

[@derekharley7791]

No Scottish girl would speak the way Rachel does. Also, a Scotsman invented the telephone, so never mind the 'bad line to Scotland' crap, as if it were the back of beyond.

So touchy. You must be a Kranky supporter.😊
