Journey to the Unknown

a excellent TV series from hammer in the late sixties,which had a different story to it every episode,the show was based on people who found themselves in bizarre situations.the opening segment to the show still sends shivers down my spine, a deserted fairground somebody entering it you don't see the person at all,also a haunting theme to add spice to the matter?and the opening titles are then just put into the viewers face?powerful stories, like faces in the crowd, which stars Jane asher, David Henson,which one the scariest have seen,Stephanie powers in Jane browns body,which is cult viewing,plus chad Everett, in a story called poor butterfly, another a good ghost story. why the show has not made it to DVD, is beyond me. this excellent series,still holds good today.

...searched for the name of this tv series that haunted me as a child, I can't even tell you. Many times, I have Googled a description of the opening (the carnival setting, the lights coming on as a man with an unseen face whistles a most eerie tune). Google searches yielded no results till now. I am so grateful for user reviews to clue me in, till I realized "THIS! This is IT!" I was a kid so I really only recall the opening and the episode where a young man fell in love with a shop window mannequin who spoke (only) to him. He dreamed she was to "die" in a fire.

Now, I just need the dvd(s). I get those and I'll go nuts.

The dark, empty amusement park. The roller coaster. The music. Chills up and down my spine! I honestly can't remember an episode (though seeing it over might jog my mind) but the intro to this tv program has NEVER left my mind.

Given the number of episodes, this one seems perfect for release on dvd. I would LOVE to see that! If there is anyone I can email or anyway to generally support that happening, let me know.

This series barely lasted one season, yet I still remember several episodes after nearly 40 years. It was intelligent, thought provoking and yes...a bit on the creepy side. The episode with Stefanie Powers is still my favorite of the series. It was well written and a bit on the sappy love story side, but again it lingers in my memory. Like the Twilight Zone, this series took ordinary people and put them in extraordinary situations. Also, like the Twilight Zone, The opening theme is very catchy and I still can "hum" it after all of these years.I hope it is available on DVD someday, as I would like to add it to my collection.

When you see some of the dross that is available on DVD/Blu-ray you have to ask why this brilliant series isn't.
