Late Night TV Programmes by johnie: 8:13pm On Apr 10, 2019 |
I am searching for a number of episodes of some programmes that used to run on TV stations in the 80s/90s. Unfortunately, I am having some difficulties remembering the names of these programmes. The only one I can readily remember is Hammer House of Horror which I think ran on Fridays These programmes were usually the last programmes on NTA2 Channel 5 before the station shutdown for the day. Some were detective series. A particular episode of one of the detective programmes had a title like 'Marioki by midnight.' This one ran on Thirsdays, if my memory serves me right. Help!

johnie: Since you mentioned Hammer House or Horror, I will list shows that were similar to it and were also shown on NTA2 in the 1980s. 1) Tales of the Unexpected 2) Strange Paradise 1 Like |

naptu2: Tales of the unexpected! That's the one I was looking for as alternate to Hammer House of Horror. They always had very strange endings. In the particular episode I am remembered recently, a man had been cheating on his wife. He plotted and got his wife killed. About that time, his girlfriend had a car accident and required an eye transplant. When the transplant was done, he discovered to his hottie that it was his wife's eyes that the girlfriend was given. This meant his late wife would haunt him through those eyes till he died. Can you remember the action/detective ones? Thanks |

I googled Tale of the unexpected just now and discovered that it was initially solely written and, on the programme introduced, by Roald Dahl! Apparently, the opening montage actually included Dahl's name but I did not pay attention to it then. The opening score also gave me goose bumps. |
