They've been a delight all week, loved today's fur coat story too.Remind me of Tales of the Unexpected from the 70s and the naaaked dancing lady ( showing my age I know )

What time are they aired?

[Pancakeflipper]

I heard the Royal Jelly one ... Oooh I cringed through it. Remember reading that one. An unsettling story.

10.45 am after Woman's hour and repeated at 7.45pm I think

[PaisleyLeaf]

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

My memory is so crap i couldn't say one way or t'other but probably ( fudged answer, sorry)

[Albrecht]

Royal Jelly one was so creepy. And the brain in the jar watching his wife...

Yes think its the same stories that were Tales of the Unexpected on TV. Just had to go and listen to the . Dh says his Granny used to let him watch them as she thought Roald Dahl = kids. No wonder he is so odd.

Thanks yummy, will try to catch them on iplayer.

I always assumed a whole generation of 70s kids was scarred by the 'Roald Dahl = Kids' thing with Tales of the Unexpected, I got the book out of the library on that basis and seriously creeped myself out
