ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Completely deserves its own thread. Post your "favourite" clips! The first one on this episode is utterly terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I loved that show as a kid, don't think I ever saw that episode though. Truly terrifying, I'm amazed at the outcome of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 The theme song is great. Basically best theme tune ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I was thinking that when watching it. Almost as amazing as the rescues is the ability to turn a siren into an awesome piece of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I wish the BBC would pay for this to return, it was a classic show to watch. Some of the calls are terrifying to watch, especially them two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinist Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This used to give me nightmares damn right... might watch a few episodes on youtube to remind myself. Might not be so scary any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 If anything its more scary. :p I remember this being my favourite TV show when younger (sadistic?) However, one really really shit me up. If anyone remembers - that one about that chick who was in a Jacuzzi, went under and her hair got tangled in the bottom. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I remember one where a woman got her hair stuck in a pool filter and drowned, and she looked exactly like my mum. I was scarred for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten10 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 One particular episode I remember was when a girl got attacked by bees /wasps and they were covering her whole body. I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand time. They just don't make TV as good as they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I remember a couple of ones... one was a kid who was trying to climb over a railing and slipped and it stabbed his jaw. I just imagined having a spike pierce through the bottom of your mouth. Horrible. And another one where some kid was suffocating because he got buried in a sand pit or something lol. The re-enactment had some guy fingering sand out of a kids mouth... that image apparently stayed with me =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cried for hours thinking my mum had died. Then being elated when she wasn't, then still crying at the horror. That program was strong shit.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wha? This wasn't scary. Strange but True was scary. Oh, shit, I both loved and hated shows like that. They were incredibly exciting, but also endlessly frightening when they were on at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wha? This wasn't scary. Strange but True was scary. Fucking right. I'll never forget one where this one girl was posessed and they made her have a little bit of water in her mouth, not to swallow it and sellotaped her lips so "she" couldn't talk...

weeyellowbloke Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Man, looking back on this show is hilarious. Don't get me wrong most of the stories are pretty amazing, but the first one just made me think of: Also there is something very Alan Partridge about Michael Burke's presenting.

tapedeck Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Remember watching this in school and it was the sports day one where a kid got a javelin through his neck (tame by 999 standards). Anyway a lad threw up on the floor got jelly legs and fainted in the class. We never got to watch anymore in school as the teacher got a rollicking. Amazing TV show though that made you shit your 9-yr old kecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
