Lamb to the Slaughter.....1968 one of my classmates in English pawned off this story as his own. I always knew it was way too clever for him. Got out of bed to send this. After all those years...its nice to be validated.😎👍🏼
Yes, I think they adapted most of his stories in the first couple of series - you might remember that he actually used to present the show to begin with, but parted ways when they started adapting the work of other authors. There are older adaptations of a lot of them too - there's a very good US version of Man From The South starring Peter Lorre, for example...
That's because it's Roald Dahls Tales of the Unexpected. Lamb to the Slaughter and Man From the South were also both made into Alfred Hitchcocks too. Both old and the newer ones.

Good news - UA-cam knows. I's called Ocean Beach (Cybophonia Cinematic Remix) by the Black Mighty Orchestra. If you open up the description on a UA-cam video, there will often be details of any licenced music used in it. If you open the description on this one, not only does it name the music but it gives you a link to another video where you can hear the full thing.
@@esty-arnold5124 It's undoubtedly an influence, I think - the track was released in 2003, and an awful lot of 'chill out' music from the late 90s and early 2000s was somewhat nostalgic, either sampling or using the style of music from the fifties and sixties.
I absolutely love this series, based on his stories. Lamb the slaughter was my favorite, but it’s kind of strange with the New York accents in that particular story. I expected something slightly more British lol
I know what you mean - especially knowing the British TV adaptation - but I gather Dahl lived in the US for a while so I presume this version reflects that. There was, I understand, a much earlier US TV adaptation of the story too...
No - but now you mention it I can hear a similarity. It''s actually Charles Dance, probably best known these days as Tywin Lanister in Game of Thrones.

Wow thanks very much! As Above So Below!
I love how the closing scene of every story is left to the reader to deduce🤔. Mr Dahl had great respect for the intelligence of his audience😊.
Thanks for sharing , I really enjoy listen to these old tales,v and these ones are well dramatists. 😁👍
I particularly enjoyed getting the news of the time.
And at no extra charge...
I remember watching an episode of Tales of the unexpected which had exactly this storyline. Its always been memorable ( the first story )

Isn't it an Alfred Hitchcock Presents... episode. Starring a young Steve McQueen?
@mysteriousmagpie
It also was the basis for the Quentin Tarantino segment of the 1995 anthology film Four Rooms.

This is excellent! Could you put a list of the stories and time stamps?

Well done,👍🏻
thank you... 🧡🧡🧡🧡
any clue what the theme music is and/or who by? it's gorgeous.
It sounds similar to the A Place I The Sun theme (1951)🤔

I went back to listen to Victor Young's orchestral version of A Place In The Sun to compare, it sounds so similar.

@mysteriousmagpie thank you so much! i had looked for it in the description before but somehow didn't see it. don't know how i missed it then.

Am I hearing Steve Pemberton there? Ooh
And a young mark heap!
Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
He adapted plenty, but the UK series 'Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected' literally ran out of Dahl stories to adapt...
Is the narrator Morgan Freeman ?
No - but now you mention it I can hear a similarity. It''s actually Charles Dance, probably best known these days as Tywin Lanister in Game of Thrones.
