Dead of Night (1972)
9/10
Quality with some weaknesses
5 January 2024
I watched this series when first broadcast in 1972 and remember enjoying it at the time so was delighted to see these three episodes again recently.

I only recalled the odd snippet from some episodes but the dramatic Episode 1, the Exorcism, made a vivid impression on me then and was just as dramatic this time.

I enjoyed Episode 2, featuring Peter Barkworth as a pilot, more than some others seem to have done. It doesn't have the drama of Ep 1 but does leave one pondering afterwards.

Episode 3 I found the weakest but still enjoyed the 1970s production values with real actors (all three have stalwarts of 1970s and 80s TV) and the feel of seeing a good play rather than a poor film that I get from most modern drama.
