MICROGORIA 53 - Night Voices: The Hospice


In this little episode Mr Jim Moon takes a look at a doubly rare thing - firstly because it's an episode of an obscure TV horror series hardly ever seen since its first broadcast, and secondly for it is an even rarer beast - a screen adaptation of a Robert Aickman story!

HYPNOGORIA 84 - King of the Castle


In this episode Mr Jim Moon sets off once more into the weird and wonderful badlands of 1970s British children's TV.

Clue: it might be the second one!
