If you watch carefully the shadow man at the begginning is walking backwards towards the chair, then turns round and bends over the chair ! Very odd, and just noticed this now.
Hmm - I remember another uk series - would have been around early 1980s - also standalone made-for-tv thrillers. The plot of one story concerned the reunion of some 'bluebell' style showgirls in middle age. They all meet at a luxury penthouse flat, and then are killed off one by one. Naturally they can't escape. I was sure it was "armchair thriller", but now I have read the synopses of all the stories I realise it must have been another show. Can anyone iD?
These weren't made for kids. They were for adults and only shown after 10pm here in Australia when I was a kid. I only saw them because I snuck out to watch them.
Thanks so much for uploading this! This series used the scare the hell out of me when I was 13 years old. I used to hide behind my dad's chair watching this!!
were these really made for children? I remember being scared stupid as a kid in the 80's watching these. they are more violent and menacing than hollywood produce with a 18+ cert. What happened to quality storytelling like this? Celebrity shite has invated uk tv sadly.

@Elibobbob No, it's not a kids series. Thames made it for adults and it went out around 10-10.30pm.
