I have to hold my hands up, I don't recall Journey to the Unknown. I always thought Armchair Thriller had a great introduction.....the shadow sitting down on an armchair and blood running down - as well as that creepy music. It set the atmosphere nicely, and you are absolutely right, an art that no longer exists.

That's a great opening sequence Bert, many thanks for the link. If only we could have quality programmes today like we had in the 60s and 70s.
I like the way it mentions "In Color" right at the start. Mind you, I guess many viewers would have still been watching in black & white back then.
Although not related in any way to the above, as a young kid I always found the World In Action theme a bit sinister.

I think the images in the opening sequence may have been different in the early 70s, but the music was certainly the same as I recall it.Last edited by Carl V; 25th July 2017, 10:51 AM.
