They neglected to include Roald Dahl's "Way Out", but I won't hold that against them!

Ah, but "Woman of the Phoenix", they did include Twilight Zone - wonderful site!

Now, what was the name of that other Roald Dahl series? I want to look it up but I can't remember the blasted name - do you know it? It was a long time ago, but was kinda creepy in the way the original TZ was and he was the host in the same way Rod Serling was for TZ...

If you are in Manhattan, you can view some of the episodes at the Museum of Television and Radio:

For years I searched for a certain episode, which haunted me for years. It was called "The Overnight Case", and I just recently found it.

Now, now, Phoenix, perhaps Viv and I have another in mind, and this would be Tales of the Unexpected:

I've just examined their treatment of one of my all time favorite series: Have Gun Will Travel. Very well done. Thanks for the link, phoenix.
