The Journey Home (Aired February 23, 1988)
FEAR ON 4 is the British Broadcasting Corporation's continuation of a
tradition of horror shows dating back to 1943. Back then, the BBC
offered APPOINTMENT WITH FEAR, the title given to ten series of
programs running from 1943 to 1955. These are the most famous BBC
horror series in it's history. The stories were introduced by The
Man in Black, played by Valentine Dyall. In 1949, The Man In Black
was given his own series, called THE MAN IN BLACK, again featuring
Valentine Dyall. Unfortunately, only four shows from APPOINTMENT
WITH FEAR are known to have survived. None of THE MAN IN BLACK shows
are known to exist.
