I dont recall this anyone here its supposed to be a classic 1st shown in 1969?

The author was a guy called Alan Garner, who wrote some pretty good stuff. One of his books, Red Shift, was turned into a BBC film in the late 70s/early 80s.

I can't recall seeing The Owl Service, but sure I must have done. Do recall Timeslip and Ace Of Wands from about the same time.

Ace Of Wands I watched ,Michael Holden who was in it was murdered in a pub in 1977 i dont recall hearing about that either he was hit 3 times over the head with a soda cyphon.

Didn't know that, Steve.

[Pervert]

Nope, have no memory of that whatsoever.

Thanks, though, LS.

This is pretty good filmed in colour but originally shown in B&W but repeated years later in colour which is when I saw it -worth a view
