Michael Horden one of may favourite actors, was brilliant at what ever he did. Marvellous and unique voice, he was able to bring to life all and everything. Not enough of his work is available. I collect what I can. Thank you for uploading this series as Albert Finney is another unique actor that I love to watch as he is brilliant in all that he did.
Here to lay some flowers for the late, great Michael Culver, aka Dr Underhill, who died a few days ago. A versatile and much-loved actor and activist. RIP, “injaynious” to the last.
I enjoyed this so much when it first aired, never forgot it. Quite superb and it stands up very well today. The score is very special in the creepy bits. I re-watch it every few years and I see things not previously noticed each time.
So true. So many people these days cannot appreciate some of the old black & white films. Like the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I do like the new one but the original was so great. Just like the 1956 version of The Bad Seed. The little girl actress was so good at being so evil.
Same here. I've never forgotten it and finally found it on RUclips yesterday. Managed to watch this first episode yesterday and can't wait to watch the rest. I even read the book a few years ago, both because I thought I'd enjoy the read, which I did, but also because I figured I'd never get to see the video again.
Thank you, Camilente2, for sharing this gem. Plz let me thank you also for your inventive and studious attention to the characters in the font --- one reversed letter and three Greek forms add so very much. Details count. How clever of you!
Michael Horden was another one of those remarkably busy British actors with an endless list of fine performances. But for me he'll always be Marley's ghost.
Yes. Best ever version of A Christmas Carol. I used to have a colour version of it on VHS tape but I lost it somewhere between wives. Wouldn't be any use now because hardly anyone has a player. I believe the same version (introduced by Patrick McNee, who was in the 1951 film) is available on DVD but I just read a review of it and it doesn't sound like the quality is up to much.
@@deejaydubla - The lector (is it?) in The Body in Question for me; sitting on the set and reciting long quotations for Jonathan Miller: something (and someone) I'd never seen before.
This is a very compelling 3 part series. Albert Finney is superb in the role. Finney is such a good actor that as a side point, Agatha Christie said of all the actors that she had watched play Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express versions, Finney was the best. It is a 1974 film well worth watching.
Thanks for the opportunity to watch this series again...I was 19 when it was on the telly and I really enjoyed it. The Woman in Black was televised around the same time, I think...another good spooky drama.
Thanks for sharing this. It is a very hard to find movie. Albert Finney is perfect for the part. The Kingsley Amis novel that it is based upon is also a very good short read. Amis also wrote 'Everyday Drinking' which shows just how seriously he took his beers, spirits and wines. If they were to show it again on tv, in a higher definition I would be a viewer.
And so did Richard Burton, John Hurt, O. Henry, William Holden, Micky Mantle, (Prez) Franklin Pierce, Dylan Thomas, James Thurber, Jim Morrison, Billie Holiday, Modest Mussorgsky, WC Fields, and the list goes on...
After 'Under the Volcano', Finney really was THE man to go to for civilized philandering drunkards teetering on the edge of death. Amis could not have hoped for a better protagonist for this particular novel. Malcolm Bradbury did a bang-up job with the script for 'Porterhouse Blue' from the comic novel by Tom Sharpe.
I remember that back in the 1960 s as well as prior years, it was regarded as the height of Sociability to drink frequently, even before the guests arrived and a matter of Pride to be able to "Hold" ones booze. I remember the saying "one for the road" yet another drink before driving home or to a bar. Sadly, some are not only into drink but drugs as well.
_Oh,_ to be seven years old again, with my Dad insisting I stay up with him to watch this ‘classic’ ghost story on NZ’s Sunday Masterpiece Theatre! Bowels’ contents fully evacuated into underwear that night, I can confirm! ‘I will show you the true shape . . . of your desires!’ I remembered that line exactly for thirty-five years before seeing this again on RUclips.
Another interesting series.... what an excellent selection you've uploaded!!!! Any chance you have any of the Dresden Files you might upload? TY so much for making these available!!!!
This is very good and i liked it when it was first released also, the only problem i have is...how would The Doctor and Albert Finney's be able to communicate?..the Doctor would be speaking old English from 100's of years ago.
Ong I watch this as a kid I was traumatized 😂😂😂😂 been looking for it for ever since. that and another about killer cats living in the sewers killing ppl

terrifically well drawn character. masterfully acted by Albert Finney. One of the great actors of our time.
So glad to find this movie. I haven't seen it in years, my favorite Albert Finney movie.
An absolute masterpiece of humor and suspense. Thank you, 'Arts & Entertainment.'
Top drama with the great Albert finney, RIP. thanks.

Thank you for sharing such high-quality TV with us in these dreadful days of the (cheap) 'reality TV' plague!
And the brain rot that is Strictly come Dancing.
I've had the vhs for many years. I watch it every Halloween. Yes, Michael Culver was awesome.
A most excellent ghost story THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorites that I saw on PBS many years ago. I liked it so much that I recorded it to VHS and later to DVD!
So did I !!!!!
Haven't seen this for years and so many wonderful actors in it. Very much enjoyed. Thx for uploading.
And I love this up date of it Albert Finley is super 😀😃💕💚💜❤️

That is what drew me to watch 👀🍿
I loved this drama .rip Albert Finney
@Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. he had suffered from cancer for a while but died from a chest infection in the end, he was 82.
I have always remembered this drama and always hoped for a tv repeat but it never came. Good chance now to view again and enjoy a class act
I loved this dramaand Kingsley Amis'novel, Albert Finney was perfect for it.
A great series! Saw it first time around.
Fond memories of this production. Takes me back. Thanks for the upload!
Absolutely brilliant upload! Thanks very much indeed. I haven't seen this in over a decade.

brilliant actor

He'll always be Professor Parkins to me.

I always think of Whistle and I'll Come to you my Lad, an M.R. James adaptation...and he'll always be Badger from Wind in The Willows..
Thanks So Much for Sharing! What a Treat to watch.. 😊 {I Subbed}
Thank you for posting. This is a great series ❤
This was initially featured in the US on Arts & Entertainment back in 1990. It was repeated again on Halloween night 1992.
YES I saw it when it was shown again on Halloween in 1992. I was living in Gastonia NC at the time.
This is a very compelling 3 part series. Albert Finney is superb in the role. Finney is such a good actor that as a side point, Agatha Christie said of all the actors that she had watched play Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express versions, Finney was the best.

thanks..only had this on VCR.....outstanding ...
I first saw this mini series over 25 years ago. I have read the original novel recently. Not a bad adaption so far.
Great find. I have a friend who has a VHS copy.
Awesome series!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to watch this series again...I was 19 when it was on the telly and I really enjoyed it. The Woman in Black was televised around the same time, I think...another good spooky drama.
The was a certain scene in TWIB that made me cry out loud with fear. Far better versoon than the one with Harry Potter.....
@@vintagebrew1057 Definitely, no contest between the two! The telly one was far superior and frightening.
Great cast for that one, Alan Badel was wonderful as Fosco.
I'd forgotten lovely Michael Horden was in this!
Badger!

he drank himself to death

The late great Albert Finney we shall miss you.
Yes!!
thank u for this, we don't classic TV series like this where i live...loving your channel very much! keep them coming, please....
Thankyou for your comment. I'm looking at putting something from Nigel Kneale on in the near future :)
Brilliant!
Ooh, I’ve been waiting. Thank you.
The appearance of Dr Underhill is so creepy
Yes parts 2 & 3 are also on my channel ヅ
Apparently no won has comentated on this production for 2 years . Its good isnt it ? Is that Josie Laurence at 51.5 ?

Thank you for sharing. Outstanding production. Just found you. Just subbed. You have a most interesting selection.
Perfect writer, perfect actors, superb screen adaptation - yikes on bikes!

Love the green man
Thankyou for your comment...I'm pleased you like them :)

Good story, that. The Green Man walks East Anglia, it is known.
So does Bigfoot, brah.
The green man is a pub up the road from me in Peterborough..I'm going to do a bit of sleuthing.
Thankyou
Lol. That beginning bit. Evil Dead much??!!
Yes I thought that too, although the Evil Dead is slightly less terrifying!
Some of this was filmed in a village not far from where I once lived.
Welcome back!
Thanks
Another interesting series.... what an excellent selection you've uploaded!!!! Any chance you have any of the Dresden Files you might upload? TY so much for making these available!!!!
Dr Underhill
........
this is a little too scary for me
Yeah right, you are a lone woman in a white nightdress going through dark cold woodland with only a lantern!
. . . *T h a n k ... y o u !* . . .
This is very good and i liked it when it was first released also, the only problem i have is...how would The Doctor and Albert Finney's be able to communicate?..the Doctor would be speaking old English from 100's of years ago.
Not Old English but a somewhat archaic modern English.
Ong I watch this as a kid I was traumatized 😂😂😂😂 been looking for it for ever since. that and another about killer cats living in the sewers killing ppl
Cool
Where's the video?
Have you posted any other parts of this?...
Jesus, what's with the sound?
6:01 6:03
what a degenerating society! fathers dead but the son goes off dogging in the woods. haha
God forbid we should die in such a place. For me that means nyc
Rather gratuitous violence and imagery. Not for me.
+Adam Mangler
Once you get over the first 2-3 minutes (of 150) there's no violence at all.
That one scene is the only violent imagery in an otherwise rather dialogue heavy traditional English style ghost story.
as terrible as the book
