    • Trivia
      This show was affected by BBC's archive purge between the late 1960s and 1978. During that time, the BBC wiped the master tapes of shows they considered of no future value. The total number of episodes known to exist on film or videotape stands at twenty (and a half) out of 49. Additionally, visual excerpts from eight episodes are held, plus various off-air audio sequences from 16 installments.

    Out of the Unknown: Atmospheric Anthology Series
    Such a pity a great many episodes are no longer in the archives. At its best it created chilling atmospheres with lighting, dialogue and ideas. 'The Machine Stops' is probably its most celebrated episode that still exists, but for fans of archival tv there is much on offer here. It has a uniquely British tone to the proceedings and therefore stands out as something else in a landscape dominated by Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. Definitely worth seeing.
