- Synopsis:
Jenny Agutter, Sophie Ward, Russell Hunter, John Nettleton and Pauline Quirke feature among the casts of this spine-tingling anthology series for younger viewers. Atmospheric, superbly scripted and filled with the unexpected, between 1975 and 1978 Shadows offered psychological and supernatural tales in which characters typically found themselves plunged into strange alternative realities, or encountering ghostly figures from the past - the young protagonists' otherworldly experiences often playing upon common teenage fears and preoccupations. Among the contributors for this first series were novelist and playwright J.B. Priestley, who co-wrote 'The Other Window' with his third wife, archaeologist Jacquetta Hawkes, Roger Marshall (Public Eye) and Ace of Wands creator Trevor Preston, who revived the character of magician Mr. Stabs for 'Dutch Schlitz's Shoes'. A girl is visited by the spirit of a long-dead witch in a storm-lashed cottage...In Victorian London, a mysterious voice calls to a young woman, beckoning her to another time and place...For a group of teenagers, a visit to a Tudor mansion turns into a nightmare as the sinister inhabitants of the house begin to take over...But what other terrors hide among the shadows? - Actors:
