Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

And how could I forget Fenella the witch from Chorlton and the Wheelies? All that popping up and down and shaking her head *shudder*

I loved Kenny Everett but he went down the plug hole on one show. That was me avoiding the bath for a couple of weeks.

Re: TV that scared you.

The episode of Sapphire and Steel still freaks me out with the ghost of the WWI soldier whistling "pack up your troubles" at the train station, whenever I'm at a station at night and it's a little foggy I think of it!

Not quite TV but I remember listening to the "voices from beyond the grave" floppy plastic record that came with the first issue of "Unexplained" in a mate's room and none of us would sleep in that room that night.

Big wuss me.

Those two gave me nightmares as well! A worse S+S episode was the one with the people with no faces. that still gives me the creeps!!!

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

the usual suspects for me i'm afraid,
I was another who made an excuse to play behind the sofa when Dr who was on, cybermen didnt bother me but those daleks were well scary, some logans run episodes were quite scary in places.

Other things that creeped me out were the tommorow people, even the music still makes my flesh crawl, children of the stones was another one that had me on edge.
once when i was 8, my rotten cousin babysat me and let me watch theatre of blood with vincent price, he had to stay outside my room till i fell asleep and ended up having to bribe me to keep my trap shut.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

I was a wuss. Had major issues with the Blue Peter ship when it used to zoom up to the screen at the end of the show's credits. Terrified of the muppet newsreader on the muppet show. Worst of all was the invisible man when he unwrapped the bandages on his head. I had a recurring nightmare for months about being chased by a man with no head in a big hat!

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

I was just remembering how The Mysterons voice scared me on Captain Scarlet.

Another thing was The Yeti on Doctor Who. Terrifying!

Also The Invaders opening titles were a bit unnerving.

Re: Blue Peter

From what I've heard the BBC have almost every one from about 1964 onwards, but not many from before then.

Editor Biddy Baxter insisted on them being recorded.

It's possible that some of the early colour ones might only exist in black & white.

Re: Blue Peter

Lesley Judd as an air hostess... sounds great to me

I wonder just how much of BP the BBC have got in their
vaults ?
and why in heck dont they digitize it and put it on the web
or start running it on some of the freebox channels
or sat channels.
Love to see the Lesley Judd era again...
and the Janet Ellis era too

Re: Blue Peter

Who remembers when Leslie Judd went to train as an Air Hostess on Concorde in about 1976 with British Airways? Cant find that many clips of Blue Peter on you Tube, but had the Annuals?

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

The Haunting is just fantastic. The bit when the door starts bulging and you find yourself wondering what's doing it...

Or when Eleanor tells Theo to stop squeezing her hand so tight. Only Theo is nowhere near her.

filmed at Harlaxton Manor, just outside Grantham....popped by once...drove up the drive, creepy place (can't get past gate cos its part of a private college/Uni)...took the kids as well heh heh

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Them pesky triffids, week in week out, couldnt face orchids for years lol

Film wise, it was Flowers in the Attic, I watched it at about 2am on my own and it really spooked me

Re: Blue Peter

I watched BP from just before Sarah Greene left to not long after John Lesley started, so roughly 1982-94.

By that time I was too busy revising for exams to see it, & never got back into it afterwards.

Re: Blue Peter

only 'got into' Blue Peter in my early teens IIRC...John Noakes was about to finish, so my main memories are of the 'new crowd' , of which I seem to remember liking Sarah Green, Janet Ellis (I remember her pregnancy, and how the show incorporated it, such as when they did the ultrasound scan)
and my fav, Peter Duncan...I remember the Marine Commando course he did (going through that underwater tunnel..still freaks me out now)..also climbing to the crows nest on the tall ship....NO THANKYOU)


And the blond chap, I forget his name, the champ trampolinist ...died very young??

**EDIT had to look into that..Michael Sundin was the blond chap, died of AIDS-related disease, in 1989 aged just 28............20 YEARS AGO??? Jeez where is time going ??!?!?!!

Oh, Janet Ellis! Yes, I thought she was great. A few years ago, she did a Blue Peter send-up for a TV programme but I can't remember the details.

Peter Duncan appears on several YouTube clips. He was an exremely good looking chap back then. As was Michael Sundin: very sad end to his story.

Re: Blue Peter

John Noakes for me was the ultimate BP presenter and by far my favourite.
