a dead 80s give away.

Context is all, Rifleman! Besides - it was first screened in 1977! I used to watch it with my punk mates from school & we loved it. A product of it's time & no less worthwhile because of that. We rented it on DVD last year (through Sofa Cinema) & thoroughly enjoyed it, but then again I reckon the first series of Catweazle to be amongst the finest British TV ever made - I even have a signed picture of Geoffrey Bayldon (albeit on the trike at Duck Halt from series 2) hanging pride of place. I'm also a big fan of Pertwee's re-invention of Worzel Gummidge (in which Bayldon likewise excels). Children of the Stones is part of that genre of - er - Folkloric TV; of it's time, but reflecting a wider vibe of a particular Zeitgeist one also finds in such films as Blood on Satan's Claw and The Wicker Man.

Check those links, WAV - all part our rich folkloric heritage!
