anybody have this on vhs or pal


does anyone have a copy of this? thanks!!

reply

Sadly not, but I did recently manage to get hold of a second hand copy of the book: The Nightmare Man by David Wiltshire. It is the second best thing to the seeing the series that gave me the willies as a child.

I also heard that BBC World Enterprises have no plans to release this on Video / DVD because it was only 4 episodes long anfd there is very little they could add to it in the way of special features.

I just wish that one of the Sat channels like UK gold would rebroadcast it.

I,ve been trying to get the BBC to re show this for ages, but what is needed is pressure en masse. Please get in touch with WWW.ukgold.co.uk and use the "Contact" this enables you to send a message asking them to show the serial again, if enough people do this, they might get the message.

thought you'd like to know that Blackstar.co.uk are taking pre orders for this which is released on DVD in July.. at 110 minutes it may have been cut, but until it is shown again on TV this is probably as good as it gets.. good luck

If anybody is interested, BBC ceefax and online dvd retailers have got it a dvd release scheduled for April (2005). I remember it as scary, but will it be as good all these years later?

reply

I remember the 'monster' to be a bit disappointing at that time, but then again the idea was rather novel to me. Besides, the whole atmosphere was creepy and much more realistic than most Hollywood films were.
And since THE NIGHTMARE MAN I remembered the name Celia Imrie and connected it to a shorthaired red.

I'll await the dvd with enthusiasm!
