BANKROLLED BY 20th Century Fox, this forerunner of the self-same’s HOUSE OF HORROR made-for-telly tall tales had the works, from your eerie-deserted-fairground-opening-titles to your famous-faces-in-mortal-peril-plotlines. Yank was always the lead, the Brits playing second fiddle. Among the highlights: rabid revolutionary PATTY DUKE is stalked by GEOFFREY “CATWEAZLE” BAYLDON in a hotel; telepathic twins make NANETTE NEWMAN’s life a misery; and STEFANIE “HART TO HART” POWERS gets brought back to life only to die again in exactly the same way as before.
