Roald Dahl's chillingly brilliant anthology series, Tales of the Unexpected, makes an expected return to DVD.

Although widely-regarded as one of the greatest children's authors of all-time, Roald Dahl also wrote chilling adult fiction, taking the twisted ideas used to entertain children and thrilling adults with similar themes. Much-gossiped about in its day, the surprising stories - usually with a sting in the tale - enthralled a nation the moment the iconic titles started.

First transmitted to great critical acclaim in 1980, Tales of the Unexpected - The Complete Second Series features sixteen episodes of the unknown, bizarre and terrifying, and stars an array of top-notch acting talent, including Sir John Mills (Great Expectations, Ice Cold in Alex), Timothy West (Edward the Seventh, Bleak House), Derek Jacobi (I,Claudius, Gosford Park), Michael Gambon (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sleepy Hollow), Joan Collins (Dynasty, The Stud), Anna Massey (The Machinist, Haunted) and Susan George (Straw Dogs, Jack the Ripper).
