Why on earth don't they re-show all the Tales of the Unexpected?

Prime Time they would beat the X Factor every time.

The best of "Tales Of the Unexpected", I had in a book called "Someone Like You", by Dahl and it was excellent and terrifying even before TV got hold of it.

They were showing them fairly recently on one of the satellite channels - I'm sure they will be repeating them again soon. I seem to remember the Royal Jelly story was a bit ridiculous.

I'm still not sure why they included Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the Roald Dahl tribute. Wasn't that written by Ian Flemming?

Flemming wrote the novel, Dahl co-wrote the film script.

Tales of the Unexpected was an odd show. The odd gem amongst a series of rather bland stories. Although I love Roald Dahl. Again I don't believe any of his books have come off well on the big screen...re: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, although The Witches was a terrific adaptation. That said it is a pet hate of mine...classic books done into films...I prefer them left in my mind...where they belong!
