All the show's trademarks are in ample evidence: the mordant introductions and afterwords by Hitch, the black humor, the supernatural and mystery themes, the twist endings and a noticeable lack of comeuppance for the bad guys.

Hitch only directed three of the 39 episodes in this still-entertaining set (his A Dip in the Pool is another wickedly gleeful Dahl tale of death and fatuity starring the great Keenan Wynn as one of life's losers). But the standard is amazingly high.
