I firmly believe the red telephone box was a prop. Firstly, Norman Shenley (Denholm Elliott) opens the door to the 'phone box the wrong way. It's complicated to explain, but it's all in the design of the grab handle that would make it difficult to open the door the with your right hand, unless it op...

I think it's an excellent idea! I live in Somerset, and have always planned on visiting the area. If more of us went it would make it a lot more interesting, as we could all brainstorm some of the unknown locations. I'd recommend a preplanned itinerary and maybe a minibus. We should be able to fit a...

I only ever watched 2 of them: In possession, and Childs Play, and thought they were very good. Just interested in watching the rest According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_Film_Productions#2000s ...Hammer film rights were sold in 2007. I just hope they plan to keep producing the box ...

I too loved 'Heroes', but found the final episode a bit of a let-down. Kind of like watching a deflating balloon flying around the room.

I'll definitely watch the second series though. Maybe the balloon will go bang this time.

The Box Sets

I'm trying to find the Hammer House of Mystery & Suspense but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Lots of online shops willing to take my money, but cannot define a delivery time period. These were released less than three years ago. Anyone know why there're none left? Did they not make many or was i...

Location of Lower Moat

Don't get too excited, I haven't found Lower Moat Manor yet. But I have found Lower Moat. Just to refresh your memories, take a look at the the following 4 screen shots from the episode. These are the locations I have found, and are all in the same place - the tiny village of Aston Sandford http://i...

Don't get the cheapest, get a whip-'round going to fund the domain you want. I'll put a couple of crispies in the proverbial PayPal pot.

If you find Lower Moat Manor then that will be the icing on the cake. Trouble there aren't any other focal points in the clips to match up with. I'm fairly confident I'll find it. It's really a case of working the clues. I know the red telephone box was fake, so I've got no hope trying to find that...

Missing Episode Details On Main Website

How come 3 of the episodes on the website don't have links?

Growing Pains, A Visitor From The Grave, & The Two Faces Of Evil.

Thank you. Your link is not letting me view the photo without registering, any chance of pasting it here? My next task is finding Lower Moat Manor, but I think that going to be more tricky. Here are a couple of satellite images of Chuck and Annie's House as it is now (about 18 months ago). http://i3...

I used the satellite images from Google Earth. Pump Lane South, MARLOW, SL7 3RB There are a couple of discrepancies, but it's the best one that fits the bill. It no longer stands alone. There's Thames Valley Garden & leisure in front of it, and a farm behind (although it may have been there before)....

The Isolated House in Silent Scream

I think I might have found Chuck and Annie's house, although more research may be needed to verify this.

Someone will have to go down there and turn off the power! Imagine the electricity bill after 28 years!
