Thank you for post this great uk London Weekend tv supernatural series 1970. I was 12 age in 1970…I don’t remember that series….great to see Jeremy Clyde his prime this episode. Later 1976/he played Schalcken The Painter another supernatural uk series. Wonderful quality of uk tv at that time…fortunately you preserve that culture history for all us 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍
There seems to be a large amount of supernatural themed shows out of England from the 70's. I mean a lot. In Canada, I grew up watching TVO and was introduced to quite a few, then discovered many more on RUclips, mostly. I remember being fascinated by The Ghosts Of Motley Hall, and Children Of The Stones. They were truly different to anything here at the time, and I relished watching them. I've watched a few of these Tales Of Unease, and I've enjoyed them.
@@The-Wolf-with-no-name Don't forget he was also in the singing duo, Chad & Jeremy. They recorded their pop psychedelic masterpiece, The Ark, a few years earlier in 1967/68.
LOVED how it shows the guy saying the date oct 10 1970! before the show started. that was cool. I wasn't even born for over another decade and my mother was 15yrs, 10mos 1 week and 1 day old. idk why i just figured that up and typed it here. maybe because I've not slept in almost a 24hour period. or because its nuts to imagine what my 15yr old mom and what she and her 5 brothers were doing around Halloween that year. so cool. thanks for posting anthologies like these. I just subbed and I'm super stoked on binge watching for weeks to come. happy 2024!
i just took a sip of my drink as i was reading your comment and coconut water just cleared up my sinuses! i haven't spewed a drink out of my nose since i drank milk as a kid. lol! great point and hilarious
Loving this series great British drama,the intro is very similar to the count down used for another great suspense mystery "Thriller" which aired on ITV 1973 to 1976.
I had the same many years ago too, I guessed near the beginning of this episode that it would be the same plot as in the book. Enjoyed seeing it acted out too.

Tales Of Unease edited by John Burke (Pan 1966) story by Michael Cornish
Those houses are probably worth millions now. Wonder what part of London it was filmed in? Probably somewhere like Notting Hill before it was gentrified?
Feel like I struck gold coming across your channel. Was born in 74 and only saw some reruns but holy crap this is awesome. And I ❤ that there's no channel description 😂😂 speaks for itself.
I fired up my bong-o-lator and looped that beginning scene with the Yellow Beach Buggy and that great late 60's early 70's Music and Tessa Wyatt is so English girl - that was a really well done - sort of like Tales of the Unexpected which I think was much much later in the 1970's - so nice to see London back in the day
@@John-l3t7g I grew up in Ohio (Cleveland) and in the 70's we had quite a bit of British TV and Movie's that would come in to fill in the time slots for new stations - so I remember this Tessa Wyatt - English girls have a nice blend of Celtic Germanic and Scandinavian - and she is that
Great episode. Jeremy Clyde has a great voice but he did the right thing when he moved back to England when Chad and Jeremy broke up. Little fact: Jeremy's first appearance on TV was in 1953 as he was a page in Elizabeth II's coronation!
I didn't know Jeremy Clyde acted. I saw him about 30 years ago when he was on tour with The British Invasion tour in upstate New York. He was with his partner, Chad Stewart and they were fantastic. Some of the prettiest ballads came from those two in the mid sixties.
If I remember correctly,Chad and Jeremy appeared on an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show as The Redcoats.The episode,titled "The Redcoats Are Coming!",had this fictional British duo hiding out in Rob Petries' house(cos of screaming fans),before they made their North American debut on The Alan Brady Show.Good fun.
@@BobCrabtree-ev4rz I remember that! They were huge. I met Chad at Albany, NY Airport. He was travelling with his wife Jill, a model of the swingin' sixties. I met my friend Toni there. She flew in from Calif. and the three of us were talking. Toni and Chad talked about how hard it was to get good maid service in Encino! He signed my parking ticket and I still have it. I was so excited..right in the middle of the Brit Invasion in which they were such a part.
@LostwaveObsession It was 1970...the whole episode was daft and didn't ring true. Trying to make it look supernatural when all the time it was dry rot. It just didn't work. The hypnotic chanting, like it was some kind of curse... The entire episode was flawed ...despite the rotten boards!
They stayed in one room where there must have been water to cook with. She was a crazy woman so full of superstitious beliefs she subjected her poor children to those conditions.
I've heard of that lady's chant. It's not well known, but is called 'The Chant Of The Dry Rot'. It's a shame about the language barrier isn't it - if only they had understood. Grew up in love with Tessa.
So was there a supernatural presence felt by the old lady who lived in the shoe or just the odour of damp and dry rot? Or was there a malevolent presence there? Or was she just up to scaring off potential buyers to stay there herself or was she in cahoots with the Estate Agent to keep prices low so he could move in with an reduced offer to the seller and be quids in?
Lovely house without those wretched squatters. No spirits only a bit of dry rot (well, rather a bloody great load of it actually), but hey, with a few thousand (er um, million), it could be a cosy place to re develop. Now it looks like he'll have to invest in a new wife into the bargain, you can't have everything old chap.
There is an underlying social commentary in this episode. The tenant family are presumably from Eastern Europe. The wealthy British upper-class couple and the estate agent treat them patronizingly and arrogantly. From their conversation the couple is planning to invest a lot of money in the house, either to live in it themselves, or convert it into several up-scale flats that the tenant family will not likely be able to afford. Although they do not mention it explicitly, the couple likely plans to evict the woman and her children after they buy the house. I believe the writers intend the couple's fate at the end of the episode to be there just come-uppance.
If its a whole house it reeks of Like a damp smell, mildew, but more old wood, have you ever smelled Mushrooms? Like an rotting earthy smell. not nice. .
Never heard of Tales of Unease before, these vids came into my recommended, RUclips knows what I like!! Thanks for the uploads
I just discovered this right now and am hooked. Reminds me of Thriller Theatre.
Same here!
same
This reminds me of Hammer House of Horror and Hammer House of Mystery & Suspense. It is equally as excellent.
@@1943ofour Thriller! just what i was thinking.

Jeremy Clyde was also in an episode of Supernatural called Dorabella
I wasn't even a gleam in my daddy's eye until a year later. The 70's and 80's were great decades culturally.

Superb never heard of before. Amazing tv frpm 1970

A dune buggy in London? The 70s were crazy!
Not nose to tail traffic jam either

We apologise for the delay in broadcasting tonight's episode. The bloody clock got stuck again.
I liked hearing someone say, "Superstitious Ignorance...uh, you wanna...uh..."
hahaha
Beautiful Tessa ❤
This was the best episode of this short lived series
Never heard of this series before. Thank you for the uploads., they're good.
Thanks for posting. TV at it's best, and kept me company here at 4am with a virus 🎉

A Great episode,Thanks 🙂👋

I loved this! Very creepy and suspenseful. Jeremy Clyde was gorgeous then and remains so to this very day! Thanks for posting these episodes.

As usual, the girl is the first one to feel unease.
'Be scared' you mean! TV and movies have always had the same agenda, same tropes and the same programming.
Next time, you should listen to her!
Loads of properties in Ladbroke Grove, looked run down now worth a fortune , basically the same for Islington etc. we could afford to live there then
Just subscribed excellent 👍
I was asm on 'The Doctor's Dillemma' starring Jeremy Clyde!
He was brilliant in the play and a truly lovely man.
Jeremy - a class act all the way!
I didn't know Jeremy Clyde acted. I saw him about 30 years ago when he was on tour with The British Invasion tour in upstate New York. He was with his partner, Chad Stewart and they were fantastic. Some of the prettiest ballads came from those two in the mid sixties.
He is in Dorabella a vampire story as well
@@Kevin-1969 will look it up

bloody brilliant!
I wouldn't have set foot in the place. Too many red flags.
And a smell of dry rot 😏
That was the worst case of dry rot, and East European peasants, in the whole of London! Truly terrible!
Great ending!
Perfect - except for : the story was too short! ♥
This is like Tales of the Unexpected!
Tessa Wyatt was married to BBC Radio 1 DJ Tony Blackburn, and when they split up, he broke down on one of his radio shows, i remembet it clearly.
Awesome episode. So pleased to be able to watch this. Thank you.
Jeremy Clyde is alive and playing music with Albert Lee no less! He's also directly related to the Duke of Wellington...of Waterloo fame
Absolutely hilarious!😂😂😂
Wow, i saw Chad and Jeremy in Davenport, Iowa when they were on tour in the 1960's. I didn't know he was an actor.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤such a good idea to make these for us ,we think they are great 🎉
Idk but these shows from England are excellent, great production with great acting.
Tony Blackburn liked this...
A very unpleasant episode. But am I the only one who found the climax hysterically funny!
Ha! The street dune buggy craze!
Never heard of this show before either but I thought I'ld check it out.
I was 5 days old.....😊
Am I right in thinking that car was built on the chassis of a VW Beetle?
Yes
@@mholiday
Thank you.
The engine sounded like the air cooled 'rasp' of a Beetle😂
Yes here in the States it was a kit car called the Bradley GT. With the VW chassis of course.
And the buggy featured was probably a long wheel base by GP Beach Buggies.....had two short wheel base models myself !!
You could do a great remake of this episode, what with the age of Air B’n’B house flipping we’re living in.
Doesn't explain why the kids are unwashed and living in conditions of a century before 1970!
I'm thinking that all rooms with running water must have been out of bounds!
@LostwaveObsession It was 1970...the whole episode was daft and didn't ring true. Trying to make it look supernatural when all the time it was dry rot. It just didn't work. The hypnotic chanting, like it was some kind of curse... The entire episode was flawed ...despite the rotten boards!
@@adamhughes4442 I did actually laugh out loud the moment they went through the floor/flaw. It's quite out there I know.

Love to Jeremy Clyde then, now, and beyond.
Oof, did she say, "This place reeks?" She flat out insulted this woman 😮😅
So was there a supernatural presence felt by the old lady who lived in the shoe or just the odour of damp and dry rot? Or was there a malevolent presence there? Or was she just up to scaring off potential buyers to stay there herself or was she in cahoots with the Estate Agent to keep prices low so he could move in with an reduced offer to the seller and be quids in?
i had to add that good gawd that man is FINE! yes im in my early 40s, and a mom, but technically its not gross because hes way older than i am. lol
Like my place only cleaner.

They are so annoying! It’s a great show, but wow they are annoying and entitled.
I thought they were beautifully arrogant ... and not lacking in style and confidence ...
Agree completely, and they their fate was totally deserved 😂
@@msvoyeur ---- Yes. They got their comeuppance :-)
Indeed 😂@@hellofromdavid
They didn't deserve to die just because they had a bit of money!!!! That's ruthless!

The estate agent mentioned the woman needed money to move. Seems to me she didn't WANT to.
IRL smart people would not buy anything "haunted" that smells really bad
Ended a bit quickly. Silly, but funny.
he was sure of himself... chuckle
Never heard of this.

Ghastly house nobody would want to live in anyway !!
SPEED BUGGY!
Bad investment all round.

Curious, what does dry rot smell like ?

Weird to remember this so vividly.
Why in the living hell are they driving a dune buggy?
because youth culture is all that matters.
To emphasise that they are superhip and ultratrendy and rich. The equivalent of a Tesla today
And to emphasise teir shallow materialism, even as they admire the aesthetics. Plus ca change…
