An absolute classic English horror series here from the master Nigel Kneale.

“Animals can be cuddly, friendly, faithful… but beasts are nightmarishly different…” This was how the TV Times heralded the arrival of Beasts, Nigel Kneale’s anthology of six plays – each focusing around a particular “creature” – produced by Nicholas Palmer for ATV in 1976. The warning was to be a timely one. Over the next six weeks, those in the audience brave enough to watch were treated to some classic Kneale horrors, and a lot else besides… To those lucky enough to see it first time around, the series still remains memorable, and, thanks to these DVDs Beasts is finding a whole new audience of fans today.Read More »
