The Owl Service - The complete series (2 discs) £9.99 from Play
The definitive adaptation of Alan Garner's award-winning novel, The Owl Service combines mystery, adventure, history and the legend surrounding a complex set of human relationships.
Alison and her step-brother Roger go for the summer family holiday to a remote cottage in the Welsh Valleys. After hearing a scratching noise coming from the attic, Alison discovers some old dinner plates which have a strange floral pattern on them and, when she traces the pattern on paper, discovers that the flowers turn into owls. But what is the connection between the plates, the gardener, the angry housekeeper and the mysterious local legend?
Highly recommended creepy film series from the late Sixties.
