Five series were broadcast from 1966 to 1970 by the ITV network and produced by ABC and (later) Thames Television.[1] OutlineThe series featured television plays based on the works of well-known authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, M. R. James, and Edgar Allan Poe. All bar one of the first two ABC series starred David Buck as Richard Beckett, originally a character from Sheridan Le Fanu's story "The Flying Dragon", as narrator. Beckett was made the central character of the series, taking the roles of various characters from some of the original stories.[2] The first two series, although transmitted as two separate runs, were recorded in a single production block. The episode without Buck ("The Open Door") features Jack Hawkins in the lead. Unlike BBC dramas from the period, location exterior shots were also recorded onto video tape rather than 16mm film, giving a more consistent look to the production. Only series 5 was filmed in colour. EpisodesSeries 1

Archive status and availabilityOf the episodes from the ABC era, only the versions of "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Open Door" (series 1) have survived. All the other episodes from the first three series are not known to exist, although the Thames episodes (series 4 and 5) survive.[3] A brief clip from Casting the Runes (from series 3) also exists. Domestic audio recordings of the otherwise missing episodes "The Lost Stradivarius", "The Body Snatcher", "The Tractate Middoth", "Lost Hearts", "The Canterville Ghost" and "Room 13" also exist. Network DVD has released all eight remaining episodes on a four disc set along with the surviving clips of 'Casting the Runes'.[4]References1. ^The change from ABC to Thames occurred because of the July 1968 franchise changes. 2. ^IMDb claims Buck appears in eleven episodes from the first two series. According to Helen Wheatley "Mystery and Imagination" in Janet Thurmin Small Screens, Big Ideas: Television in the 1950s [sic], London: IB Tauris, 2002, p.169-70, Buck also appears in the third. 3. ^Mystery and Imagination, lostshows.com 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.networkdvd.net/product_info.php?products_id=866|title=Mystery and Imagination|publisher=Network DVD|accessdate=2009-07-04}}
