Both firmly of its time and spectacularly ahead of it, 'The Strange World of Gurney Slade' is to television comedy what 'The Prisoner' has become to television drama - brilliantly inventive, startlingly surreal and unlike anything previously seen on television.

Anthony Newley stars as an actor who walks off the set of a banal sit-com and into a fantasy world of his own imagination. In this surreal odyssey through his own personal alternative reality he indulges in random conversations with both animals and inanimate objects it s a world in which characters can step out of advertising posters and where he can hear the most intimate thoughts of passers by. An unpredictable, absurdist fantasy, Gurney Slade created an indelible impression upon anyone who saw it.
