1967. Channel 4 were the first to repeat it, in the early/mid 1980s - that's when I first saw it. Was repeated again in the early 1990s.Quote:

Time to screen it again.
Sounds a bit too 'deep and meaningful' for me... I'd give it a go though. Is it creepy, or are there action scenes in it? I need something to keep me entertained!:)

There's essentially two types of episode - action/adventure where he tries to escape from the village, and weird/psychological where they attempt to mess with his mind.Quote:

Sounds ok - like I said, I'd give it a go:)

Ooh I'll look into it but we have a dog not sure if they will allow them in the village.
