Lovely to wake up, and find this available to watch. Many thanks!

[@melaniemetcalfe3354]

I love this . Judie Dench is always a delight to watch ❤🎉

[@mahaswelem4120]

From the get go… this proved to be a great one… thank you so much 😊

The first few shots has an eerie feel of the brilliant haunting play featuring Michael Hordern called Whistle and Ill Come to you (1968).

[@Noblerot1830]

I love that. I always watch it at Christmas. So atmospheric!

​@@Noblerot1830Yes I remember also the one about those two creepy children who come in the night.

The short story 'Whistle and I'll come to you, my Lad' may be found in best collection I know, "Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural" 1943, a Mr. Wise first listed editor. Hordern, Senex' in "A Funny Thing Happened .on the Way to the Forum" reminds me of my Classics master in prep school, and of Leo G Carroll, same role, in movie based on same prep school. Dean Stockwell, tiny role by Robert Wagner as jock who can punt studies. This reminds me of Macnee/Rigg 'The Avengers".

That's fantastic. Thanks. Glad there are still so many people who are fans of such wonderful stuff!

Alan Dobie, nice voice.

[@CrystalShip8899]

Wonderful Francis Matthews, enjoyed him in the Paul Temple series and I think married to the actress Angela Browne. Thank you.👍

[@joedge6142]

Thanks, enjoyed this.

"Aaahh, Francis Matthews!" sneered Paul Temple to his wife Steve. "That's the man who played me on TV at the end of the Sixties and the start of the Seventies!" Steve nodded. "Peter Coke played me on radio as you know, but not after 1968. I don't know why the radio chappies never made any more, Coke lived for another 40 years so he was able to if he'd ever been asked! By Timothy, it's 2025 now and I'm still angry about it!" Steve shrugged. Just then, Charlie walked into the room, caught the angry glare in Temple's stare, and rushed out to put his clothes on. "Who would you like to play you on TV, dear?" Steve asked. "They should raid the Doctor Who repertory company" he replied. "That David Tennant as me, Jenna Coleman as you, and Peter Capaldi as Sir Graham!"

Alan Dobie had the most lovely voice of any actor working back then.

[@murkydepths181]

This is great, just wish the sound could be cleaned up

[@JamesSimmons-d1t]

Fine cast. Aubrey Morris can act creepier than anyone. Bleedin' anglophile Yank, was in England 1964. Was in Scotland, Wales, Cornwall...Nessie ate my sister. Small loss, large meal. Mice and Men couldn't patch her back together again. And finely Finlay Currie as a side dish, for the treat. My ainself said it. Like HG Haggard's Umslopogaas, "I have spoken." Ain't said much....we Yankees, we spin and spin, and only homespun in the end. In patches. No peat in me whisky, an' it please thee. Or not. Manyway, mean what I know? Now?? Or agley? We flew over Eire. It's green. We thank the blimey Limies.

All the production values of a 'Thunderbirds' episode - obviously fake sets, guns that flash but don't fire, then fire and don't flash, village hall drama dialogue, skimpy underwear -- great fun! 😂

[@geoffreybloomfield3936]

It's very much like a stage play (which I like)

[@jeangilbride5178]

I was astonished, but also greatly appreciative of the skimpy underwear! I may have to rewatch it just for that!

[@MrGlewYouTubeChangedMyHandle]

I'd have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you pesky archeologists.
