Tales of Unease: The Complete Series DVD / Normal

Superstitious Ignorance by Michael Cornish is a class based chiller about exploitation, poverty and privilege. With no phones, no elevator and the air conditioning drying out their mouths and dampening their spirits, it’s a beautiful exercise in blackmail. An unsettling tale of loss, alienation and the desire for friendship, ATV's BAFTA-nominated adaptation of Pamela Sykes' classic novel is as haunting now as it was when first shown in the spring of 1978. A young art student takes a beautiful girl home after a dance but discovers that she is no longer on the pillion of his motorcycle.Network in the UK continues to trawl through the ITV vaults and this little gem of a anthology series gets it's moment in the sun for new generations to savour. There's a sense of logic at play, but it's one I've been unable to unpick or attribute any sense to. Disc extras are limited to a single fine still gallery but another Andrew Pixley viewing notes booklet is also included, although not provided for review. Oh, and London Weekend Television existed at the time when all TV channels were regional and there were loads of them throughout the UK serving the different regions. It's perhaps interesting that, whilst I wouldn't describe any of these episodes as being particularly scary, it's the outcome of one of the "human" ones (Bad Bad Jo Jo) that has stayed with me the longest.
