Very gothic to be sure, but all are very good people (yes they have distinct personalities and are very intelligent). Still there is something eerie about their cold little feet with little claws and the way they talk to you while sitting on your shoulder...<br />I saw that 'rats' episode growing up and have never forgotten it.Barbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090152647119265478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-11698661521826259872008-04-18T16:27:00.000-04:002008-04-18T16:27:00.000-04:00Its a very effective play.

I watched it the other day and thought it could even be done as a stage play given that the sets are so simple.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553269136334585652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-82569747394433568772008-03-27T03:03:00.000-04:002008-03-27T03:03:00.000-04:00Hello there people 'across the pond' (that's a fuc...Hello there people 'across the pond' (that's a fucking BIG pond), please get yerselves a multi-region DVD player and watch BEASTS...

The episode name is "Three Skeleton Key" and it's about a lighthouse that gets beseiged by rats who abandon their sinking ship (it crashes on the rocks, all crew dead, the rats are starved and see the light of the lighthouse... I shant spoil the rest.) It's easy enough to find and download off the net I imagine, since all them old radio shows are more or less public domain.Erich Kuerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-18466147728709377442007-04-27T00:13:00.000-04:002007-04-27T00:13:00.000-04:00I really want to see this.I read that this episode...I really want to see this.<BR/><BR/>I read that this episode is the best of what sounds like an amazing series.<BR/><BR/>NOBODY does it like the Brits.

I've always thought that story would make a fascinating story, provided you could find a director who could induce a palpable sense of dread in the audience.<BR/><BR/>Here in Chicago, if the Union wants to protest a project that hasn't hired union workers, they trot out a ten-foot high inflatable rat as a prop for their protest, which is pretty comical.Joseph Emmerthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662107341202094895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-75576012009921242092007-04-26T15:57:00.000-04:002007-04-26T15:57:00.000-04:00Man, that is something I really want to see.Man, that is something I really want to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-75299784184131519902007-04-26T14:01:00.000-04:002007-04-26T14:01:00.000-04:00Wow, sounds cool.
