With memorably unsettling opening credits and exceptional performances and direction, Armchair Thriller became a massive hit for Thames Television in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With its trademark ghoulish, razor-sharp cliff-hangers and iconic theme tune (by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay), this haunting anthology series was an immediate success - its eerie, disturbing and downright scary tales regularly attracting over 15 million viewers. Each of its ten stories is a gripping exercise in compelling television, showing ordinary people plunged into extraordinary situations. For many, this series remains a highwater mark of dramatic television and its many frightening and spooky moments are remembered by viewers nearly thirty years after its original transmission. This set contains all ten stories made by Thames Television, including the never-transmitted six-part version of The Chelsea Murders. Every episode of the spine-chilling series: Rachel in Danger, A Dog's Ransom, The Girl Who Walked Quickly, Quiet As a Nun, The Limbo Connection, The Victim, Dying Day, Fear of God, The Circe Complex, The Chelsea Murders - untransmitted six-part version and The Chelsea Murders - TV movie version.
