    I'm not really recommending anything, but this is the only TV thread I could think of here to post this in.

    I've just accidentally had a mystery that's bothered me for nearly forty years solved, just doing my daily mindless facebook browse.

    I watched something on TV when i was very wee which always really stuck with me, but every time i've tried to find it as an adult I've come up a blank. I *had* thought it was from Tales of the Unexpected, and once trawled thorugh the entire archive, to no avail.

    Turns out, it was an apparently-beloved Hammer House of Horror epsiode called "Silent Scream".

    I've always had a very vivid memory of a couple stuck down a shaft with a door open to the world that if they tried to get through would kill them. Cheery, I know, and I'm further wondering why the fuck my mother would let me watch that sort of thing in the first place (I mean, I did watch The Poltergheist and The Hand with her when I was seven or so, so it's not like she much gave a fuck...).

    Anyway, here it is. Mystery solved:

    • Ha. Thanks Piet. I'm now trying to find an episode of (maybe) Tales of the Unexpected in which a kid could look at photos and bring them to life.Ianbolton
    • It's burned into my brain from such a young age. Good work pursuing your aging memories and finding clarity though, Piet!Ianbolton
