Synopsis:

After years of unavailability, the three surviving episodes from the legendary BBC horror anthology series, Dead of Night, finally comes to DVD. Originally screened on BBC 2 in 1972, and rarely seen since, Dead of Night has been highly sought by fans of the BBC and British Horror for decades. In The Exorcism - perhaps the most terrifying of the episodes - four wealthy, middle-class friends (Clive Swift, Edward Petherbridge, Anna Cropper and Sylvia Kay) gather for a Christmas dinner in a country cottage only to find that the past will not rest while they feast. In Return Flight the professionalism of an experienced and respected airline pilot (Peter Barkworth) is placed under scrutiny when he encounters the ghostly apparition of a WW11 Lancaster bomber. In A Woman Sobbing a middle-class wife (Anna Massey - Peeping Tom) becomes increasingly paranoid when her nights are interrupted by the terrifying and unexplained sound of a female crying in one of the rooms in her new house.

Three episodes from the BBC's horror anthology series from the 1970s. In 'The Exorcism' the past comes back to haunt four well-off friends - Dan (Clive Swift), Edmund (Edward Petherbridge), Rachel (Anna Cropper) and Margaret (Sylvia Kay) - during a Christmas get together. In 'Return Flight' pilot Captain Rolph (Peter Barkworth) struggles to maintain his reputation when he is confronted by the ghostly image of a Lancaster bomber from the Second World War. In 'A Woman Sobbing' strange goings-on cause Jane (Anna Massey)'s mental state to become more and more fragile.

List of Episodes:
The Exorcism S1, Ep15 Nov. 1972
Four friends gather for Christmas dinner at an old cottage. Suddenly, there's a power failure and the phone goes dead. Then their wine turns to blood and the turkey makes them violently ill. Then things really get strange!
Return Flight S1, Ep2 12 Nov. 1972
Whilst coming into land after a routine flight, Captain Rolph suddenly takes evasive action to avoid a WWII Lancaster bomber. But neither his co-pilot or traffic control saw such a plane. It seems to be a straightforward case of hallucination and early retirement for Rolph, but he is determined to prove otherwise and clear his reputation.
A Woman Sobbing S1, Ep7 17 Dec. 1972
Jane is an discontented middle-class wife and mother. One night in her bedroom she hears a woman crying, though her husband hears nothing. Is it a symptom of her depression or is her home haunted? In her attempts to discover the truth she becomes increasingly paranoid
