Dramarama

[JM28Cardiff]

There was an episode of Dramarama on ITV that scared the hell out me. There was this wrestler who always wore a mask in his bouts. These kids climbed on some rooftops (including crossing a plank between two buildings) so they could look through the window to his dressing room. He takes off his mask, slowly turns around, and his face is all melted and lumpy. The kids run off, but one of them stumbles on the plank and falls, presumably to his death! Anyone else remember that one?

It sounds like it could be from the series with only ghost stories "Dramarama : Spooky" - I only remember one of them, about a ghostly drummer boy in a graveyard that glowed green. Some kids (i think) tried to scare a friend by dressing one of them up in the outfit painted with glow in the dark paint....only to see the actual ghost themselves.

Re: Dramarama

It wasn't all ghost stories but I remember the one about the wrestler and some kids in a class room involving hacking and another one involving some kids and the aftermath inbolving an air rifel. Oh yeah, then the34re was the one about the adventure playground.

A whole season of Dramarama is being shown in London in April, starting with a mini lecture on the origins of the series and hopefully attended by the original Producer, Anna Home...all those unanswered questions finally solved, plus some real treats in terms of episodes.

Re: Dramarama

Blimey - Dramarama...that takes me back. Not sure I remember the melty-wrestler one, although it's an evocative image, and it rings at least one bell...
Thanks ElleBea3 - might have to check that out this month ;o)

Re: Dramarama

I definitely remember the Wrestler one! Another kiddie memory. I'm more sure he was simply faceless...and his 'face' was covered with a sort of glittery look to it....it was right at the end of the episode when you saw his face. Scared the poo out of me as a child.

Re: Dramarama

Reviving this old thread! It wasn't Dramarama after all, it was a series called "Theatre Box", and the episode was called "Death Angel". A young Ray Winstone was in it, though its not on his IMDB page. The episode was written by Brian Glover, and I've just bought the script off Amazon! Heres a link to a BFI page about the episode:
