Spine Chillers (2003)

Spine Chillers is a British comedy-horror anthology that first aired on BBC Three in 2003 and was aimed at older viewers. It was a run of six one-off dark comedy dramas, each a self-contained story with a darkly comic twist. Episodes included “Bradford In My Dreams”, “Goths” and “Fairy Godfather”. In “Intuition”, a young man on his stag do hides in a tarot reader’s booth to avoid being stripped and tied to a lamp-post. The writers included Sarah Phelps, Steve Punt and Chris Langham, and the cast featured Kevin Eldon and Lesley Vickerage. A second batch of episodes aired in 2005 under the title Twisted Tales. It shouldn’t be confused with an earlier, unrelated 1980 BBC children’s series of the same name. Some listings give slightly different episode counts, so treat the numbers as approximate.
