Re: The Book Tower

The Book Tower music used to creep me out as a child. You would have thought that they would have tried to be more inviting!

Re: The Book Tower

was the theme tune to this program "im the king of the castle"? I remember a similar program that terrified me, i hated going to see my auntie Lill because she lived in a block of flats.

There was a series in the mid/late 70s called "King of the Castle", where a boy, Roland, is involved in an accident with a lift in a tower block and finds himself in a subterranean world where grotesque characters, based on people he knew in the real world, tormented him.

Fulton McKay played his headmaster, who became a Frankenstein-style mad scientist, the local bully became a Samurai warrior, his step mum was a beautiful witch, etc.

Found on line-
The Book Tower : Yes, of course the book tower. Tom Baker looking moody and reading books. Some actually had parts of them made into live action. A fantastic theme tune written by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

I can remember this from around the end of the 70s. Tom Baker, a book tower and a creepy atmosphere all led to me believing that any building over two flights was surely the dwelling of the devil!! I was only 10 at the time though.
