This is a long shot. In 1972, the BBC broadcast a couple of the creepiest plays I can recall. One was The Stone Tape, the other one I cannot remember. It was about a dinner party where the outside ceased to exist and the consequences, again very spooky. Does anyone of the older ABers recall its name please?

Thanks very much, the Youtube clip looks to be the same thing I remember, they were very spooky productions.
Is that the one where they all starved to death in the end? They go to a cottage and it is really creepy and they can't get out. The food tastes awful so they can't eat? I remember that, it was really scary!

Yes it sounds exactly like that, why can't the BBC make programes of this quality any more, it's stayed with me for 40 years, along with The Stone Tape?
Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for that, I'll have a trip to Costa with the laptop to watch, in Norfolk it can take an age to dowload even a couple of minutes of You tube.
