Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)

"And they didn't make much mess?"

"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."

"Ah. Big mistake."

"What is?"

"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."

"I'll remember."

#shadows of fear #single play #roger marshall #1970 #classic tv #thames #kim mills #michael craig #gwen watford #ray smith #mark mcmanus #malcolm kaye #charles leno #having come to something of a premature pause in my New Scotland Yard watch (the first ep of series 3 isn't on the YT playlist I've been #using and is proving quite tricky to get ahold of) i thought I'd revisit this brief lived anthology series for the creepy season. i first #watched this about 10 years ago and my memories of it are scant to say the least‚ so it seemed like good viewing for the season #the production history of SoF is lost in the mists of time (unless someone out there wishes to enlighten me?); this first episode was shown #in June of 1970‚ but the rest didn't follow until January of the following year; probably this acted as a sort of pilot to gauge viewer #reactions to another vaguely horrorish anthology series (the previous decade had been ripe with them‚ tho we rarely see their like today)#and then there's the odd case of the final ep‚ shown almost 2 years after the series ended and running to half the length (and generally #feeling like an entirely different format) but I'll come to that when (and if) i get to the episode itself. this debut ep is... well it's #fine. i was excited to see Marshall's name in the opening credits‚ one of the most dependable of old tv writers and I'd quite forgotten he #contributed to this show. but the issue here is simply one of length. the plot is solid‚ a suitably grotty little tale of a family man's #mounting obsession with the burglars who broke into his home. it would make a good ep of Tales of Unease (shortly to begin on Thames'#sister broadcaster LWT) or a few years later as an episode of Tales of the Unexpected; both being 25 minute shows. but this clocks in at #close to 50 mins and there isn't really enough to it to sustain that longer running time‚ leaving it feeling a little stretched thin and #flimsy. a shame‚ because Craig and Watford are putting in excellent performances as the middle class couple whose reactions to the burglary #slowly shift as time passes (he goes from prosaic acceptance to fixated malice‚ she from shocked indignation to making peace with it all)#no big surprises in where the play is headed or how it plays out‚ but that's often the case with these things; it's often just as much #about the horrible foreknowledge of what must come than some shocking twist‚ and this plays it about right. it's just too long is all.

All The Way Home by Kim Mills

4 stars

This story was raw, real, and ugly at times. It was also beautiful, angsty, and hopeful sometimes. The characters were flawed, their lives complicated, and despite the hopelessness, they carried on. In spite of the circumstances, they find themselves in, they do the best they can, waiting for that moment, only to realize, that moment is when they make it happen <3

Those of you who have been to an SPN convention, how much did you spend in total and what all did you get/do? I sooo want to go next year, and at least meet Jensen and Jared, but I know it can get pricey and I don't know if I'll have enough🥺

Shadows of Fear: Sour Grapes (1.9, Thames, 1971)

"Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"

"What? Uh, eh - eh, no. Nein."

"Habla... usted español?"

"Uh, no hablo. Inglés. English."

"Ich spreche kein Englisch."

"Oh, wonderful. Here we go."

"What d'you think he wants?"

"Feel free to ask."

#shadows of fear #sour grapes #classic tv #horror tv #single play #1971 #thames #roger marshall #kim mills #isabel dean #daniel massey #ray smith #simon gough #strangely enough‚ this might be the episode of this show which most strongly lodged itself in my mind from that first watch all those #years ago. the thing is‚ tho i remembered the broad outline and some images‚ i couldn't remember *why* i remembered it.. if that makes #sense. was it because it was brilliant? or because it was awful? watching it again and it's entirely neither; it's pure Roger Marshall‚#albeit on one of his less than inspired days (and showcasing a vaguely troubling sense of gender politics which only occasionally shows in #his work). a middle aged middle class couple on holiday suffer a home invasion from a German on the run‚ it seems‚ from the law. the #language barrier is really the source of tension here‚ and is milked for all it's worth (another slightly stretched out ep). i think i may #have recalled it bc of the incongruity of the German character being played by good old welsh boy Ray Smith (i was probably not long #finished with Public Eye on that occasion) but actually watching it back now he's really quite good; his German accent and attempts at the #language are certainly more convincing than Massey's vaguely defined northern lilt‚ bless him. it's not bad nor great but the very ending #didn't sit great with me‚ as I suspect it didn't the first time. a rather slight plot expanded beyond its means. impressive villa set tho!#i wonder if they found that in storage? surely it wasn't built for this one off play...

"What's up Sam? You are on speaker."

"I have bad news"

"What is it?"

"Dean had an accident"

"What did it involve?"

"Something pointy"
