This episode featured in any nightmare I had as a child. I'm convinced I want to be cremated when I die so there is no chance of being buried alive!

Why has the 85-89 version not been released on DVD! Think you get it on ioffer but it's TV vhs recorded and transferred to DVD. I can't believe series one from 85 is not out...
