Look and Read, The Boy from Space. The thin man!

This is a clip from look and read, the boy from space. We used to go into the head teachers office to watch this when I was about 7 or 8. This scene is the first time we see 'the thin man' he used to scare the hell out of me :(

Now in my thirties, it still scares me to death. I have the whole series and it really is as good as you remember :)

This scene buried something deep in my head as a kid. Such a tense moment. I still get a slight bit of panic watching it again. It brings back so many memories... my teacher at the time.. my classmates, the story I wrote about this program in class etc.

5 stars

Love this.. It'd be great to see the whole thing.

i remember this so well. out of all of them i think this gave me the most nightmares. i was a girl and in them days it was scary. its taken me back 25 years. i wish i was back in the 1980s to do this all over again.
