Tales of the unexpected

[ronianna]

Does anyone know the episode name or where I can get a copy of a 'Tales of the Unexpected' episode where a family were driving away to go on holiday (all singing 'Summer Holiday' ) when it started raining and they ran over a man wearing a yellow souwester coat and hat. It ended up with the man they ran down and the father of the family, having their fingers swaped or something (one finger had a really long finger nail). I know it sounds odd but it was such a clever episode and a scary teenage memory for me which I'll like to try and re-visit. Anyone?

It is actually a Hammer House of Horror story, and is available in the box set Hammer House of Horror.

The story isn't available individually.

The episode is called "The two faces of Evil" & as already mentioned it is available on the Hammer House of Horror dvd box set.The only reason why i know the name of the episode is because i own the box set.

That episode gave me mega nightmares when I was a kid, well, just about the whole series did!  I have the box set now though and it's great! :)  Try http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=107444 - it's available for �23.99 including free delivery.

It was on TV on saturday night (19 March).  Maybe you could find someone who recorded it?

In fact the episodes ate  re on every Saturday night so if you are a fan of Hammer house of Horror, they are on ITV3 at 11:15pm.

Synchronicity at work! I posted a question last year about this self-same episode, it really stuck in my mind as well, and got the info you have received.

For my birthday, my wife bought me a Freeview box, so we now have access to the other BBC / ITV channels, although I haven't rally got used to remembering to check them out. Last night, my daugher had left the Freeview channel on, so I had a quick surf quite

Sorry, my PC glitched there ... where was I ... oh yes, so I surfed, and what did i find? 'Ywo faces Of Evil' being shown on late night TV - spooky or what!

I remember that scaring the **** out of me as a kid! The week before that aired the story shown was 'The House That Bled to Death' where the little girl kills her dad. Eeugh. Shivers down my spine at the memory...

That was just a dodgy plumber, jinx !!

Anyone remember the strange one where some (unseen?) person traps a couple in an 'automated' house with various trap doors and electrified boundaries? (It had started off with a large cat (tiger?) getting electrocuted in some conditioning experiment)

Hmmm, it'd be worth getting ITV3 for those alone.

Brachiopod, that particular episode starred Peter Cushing as a petshop owner... I won't say anymore incase it spoils someones enjoyment!! :)
