A modern twist on (those of us old enough to remember) Tales of the Unexpected. Shearsmith and Pemberton take us into the dark recesses of their minds to produce unique 30 minute episodes containing individual, unrelated stories. Sometimes funny, sometimes dark and sometimes shocking, many great guest stars contribute to the fantastic storytelling. While a few episodes can be forgettable, the vast majority are incredible and gripping pieces of television at it's best. Standout episode for me is "The 12 Days of Christine".
