- Opening and closing of Part 1 of this story from the series' third season (and the first episode to remain extant in the archives). Written by PJ Hammond, better known for the later "Sapphire and Steel".
Who is harassing the stall-holders in the market, and why? And what has this got to do with the sinister spoons player?
Theme song by Andrew Bown.
Clip features Michael Standing, Michael Mackenzie, Roy Holder, Petra Markham, and many long-dead old ladies, and mini-skirted schoolgirls, who happened to be in the market when they were filming.
What a year 1972 was for a 9 year old kid like me growing up. Programmes like this and glam rock. I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up in such a time.
I remembered that theme song as clearly as if I'd last heard it yesterday - I miss those days, life was a lot less complicated and the music was much better.
I cannot believe kids programs were as sophisticated as this and I actually remember watching this great TV Series. It is brilliant I wish you could post more ,please.
I know I watched this as a 9 year old. I know it made a big impression on me. I could have only seen each episode once. Crazy how 50 years later Tarot has taken up such a relevance in my life. No such thing as an accident, seeing it today at 22.22.
Wow. Never seen or heard of this before. Was filmed in Watney St, Shadwell where I was born (in the white hi-rise block) and grew up.
Thanks for the upload of this clip! I'd bought the DVD series on the strength of this clip, and spent the first two months of this year watching them and loving it! Great show, very enigmatic!
Wow! !What a blast from the past. I loved this T.V series . I think all of the people making kids programes in the 70'smust have been on Acid, still I enjoyed them all.
Thanks for posting this classic memory.
Because of how rare this series is, somebody should post the episodes here, now that the youtube time restrictions have been lifted. More US viewers should know what this show was despite it was just one season/series left of any of it.
And Michael Mackenzie brilliant too.
RIP Roy Holder who played Chas Diamond the man taking photos.
Never seen this...wonderful bit of Hauntology! Properly sinister!
YAY! Add more clips or pieced out parts of all the episodes of AOW on UA-cam PLEASE!!! There had been nothing much here for 3yrs and I think this show is just as importaint in British Sci-fi/Fantasy as Dr Who and the Tomorrow people (which replaced Ace Of Wands)
The first three minutes of that have no dialogue whatsoever, and is a real slow-burner to boot.
OMG. I remember this time so well. Andy Bown ?
Petra Markham also featured in 'Get Carter' the year before.
Spoon is Michael Standing who played 'Ginge' in the Tomorrow People. He was also the explosives 'expert' who blew up the ice cream van in The Italian Job, prompting the famous line from Michael Caine, "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off".
They'll all be FIFTY years older now. . . oh hang on -- so am I !!
Wow...vague memories of this show:). Thanks for putting it up. I think it's out on DVD now but some episodes were sadly wiped and thus are lost forever.
Ace of wands its hard to believe it was a children program its definitely better than children's programs they make today. I think hes appearance was stolen for Tom Baker for Doctor Who a few years later except for the silly very long scarf of course lol
Called my son tarot
