Tales of the Unexpected

Tales of the Unexpected is a British anthology series featuring tales of horror, mystery, and suspense. Most episodes have a twist ending and are based on short stories by the well-known writer Roald Dahl. The series originally aired on BBC and has been described as a masterful introduction to a new sense of what lurks beneath the ordinary. The show has been adapted into a radio drama, audiobook, and spoken word format, and it is known for its intriguing and sometimes chilling narratives. The series is recognized for its cheekily innocent theme, which serves as a counterpoint to Roald Dahl's wicked sense of humor.

Excellent thank you. I read his adult books long before the children’s stories. Have missed the dark humour……. until now 😊👍

Dahl had a phenomenal mind; he could produce anything from the whimsical, eccentric, funny to the macabre. I loved his children’s stories and adult stories. In a class of his own!!
