- TriviaBarbara's friend Jane and the woman Steve calls Joanne sitting on the bench are not credited.
- GoofsTowards the end the fairground is operational and bustling. Immediately after the final incident, some extras playing scared fairground customers are seen screaming and running. But the final shot of Bobo leaving Madame Cecile's stall and wandering away shows that the fairground was clearly closed and deserted on the day of filming.
Featured review
A real sting in the tail.
Steve, with his friend Bobo in toe track down his Auntie at a funfair, an Auntie who happens to be a fortune teller, when she's out getting cash for him, he meets a young lady, and gives her a reading, with three promises.
I am so glad I stumbled upon this show very late one night, thank you Talking Pictures.
A thoroughly enjoyable storyline, almost like a Tales of The Unexpected from the 1950's, an imaginative plot, with interesting characters, and a sting in the tail.
It's a very nicely produced episode, I just loved the visuals, an insight into an adventure park from the 1950's, it's so interesting.
Don Taylor was wonderful here as Steve, what a lovely character, he was a little slow to learn what was really going on, but he definitely had a presence, Bobo provided a bit of amusement.
David Niven's introduction was quite sometime, so suave and sophisticated.
8/10.
