Jen and Tim discuss a classic and sadly overlooked gem of British horror television, Dead of Night. The series dates from 1972 and thus, emerging as it did during a less enlightened time when it came to archiving, only three of the original seven episodes still exist.

Watch the Paranormal Activity parody written and directed by Tim and starring your hosts (!) on Youtube.
