I have never seen this series before let alone heard of it, it's amazing what you find on YouTube, the uploading is a bit naff but these were certainly enjoyable (except for one episode). They are well written by Nigel Kneale and do come with a interesting twist that can be predictable. Good way to spend passing 6 hours of my night shift.
