If I had a nickel for every time Daniel Mays played the phenomenally confused father of a human-appearing, moderately dangerous, supernatural being who could control stuff with his mind but didn’t know it at the time, I would have 2 nickels.
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Somewhere deep in Japan, there is one, sole autistic man with OCD, who has meticulously collected and analysed every episode of Only Fools and Horses.
He sits alone in Akihabara. His wife left him after he used to insist the family take notes while it played every meal time. He tries to chat up women with his memorisation of every canned laugh time stamp, the colour of characters clothes, whether they enter from stage left or right, every shoe scuffing sound, to no avail. He sobs himself to sleep with a bottle of sake, dreaming of better days.
One day, he passes a street vendor selling old CRTs and retro games. To his fortune, the TV is tuned to UKTV Gold. He cannot believe his eyes; tears of joy. He goes home and cuddles his CRT, making the occasional clunk. At last: this is true happiness.
He dies of a heart attack when Porridge comes on.

Shadows of Fear: At Occupier's Risk (1.3, Thames, 1971)
"I happened to look into one of the other rooms and there were dust sheets."
"If there were other guests, you would have seen them."
"I once lived in a flat for six months and never saw anyone in the house. Heard them, yes, but never saw them."
"No. There's no one else here."
"Good."
#shadows of fear#at occupier's risk#1971#single play#horror tv#thames#classic tv#richard harris#peter duguid#gemma jones#annette crosbie#anthony bate#tom chadbon#john swindells#the best of the plays so far; feels like a notable upswing in quality‚ tho to be clear this is still a very visibly cheap production#all rickety sets and awful CSO backgrounds to suggest people are outdoors. but the get here is that cast: three peerless actors in their#prime. Jones and Crosbie were already making names for themselves but would go onto much bigger and better#Bate is one of my favourite actors and really deserved to be a bigger name‚ he was never less than phenomenal#the script is a winner here‚ too. it's much more consciously theatrical than the previous two‚ in that slightly unnatural way that much#tv drama of the 60s and 70s was (an acquired taste i suspect‚ but as a lover of british theatre of the mid 20th century suffice to say im a#fan). it's an intelligently written‚ and mischievously obscured play; difficult (imo) to guess exactly where it's going but easy to be#misled by some ever so helpful red herrings and delicately worked misdirection. the style allows for some shamelessly wordy scenes#between some seriously great actors‚ too‚ in which much is said but even more left unsaid or just implied (rightly or wrongly as it turns#out). yes a very decent old potboiler of an old spooky tale and i shouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be one of the most memorable#tho that said‚ i didn't remember it really at all from watching this series all those years ago...

if you had a tv show in the 1960s, regardless of genre, you had to have at least one cowboy episode. it was the law
