Beyond Midnight (1968–1969) Horror drama's, adapted and produced by Michael McCabe.
Beyond Midnight
see- http://www.otrplotspot.com/beyondMidnight.html
was a South African horror anthology series that ran from 1968 to 1970. It was originally conceived as a simple replacement for the Sci-Fi series SF 68, but ended up being much more successful. Its success may have been due in part to producer Michael McCabe (who also produced SF 68) honing his talents to a higher degree.
Michael McCabe was born in England, grew up on the Isle of Wight, and did a spot of acting in Kenya before ending up at Springbok Radio in South Africa. He was a highly regarded writer/producer who created many radio series, including The Avengers, Beyond Midnight, Personal Column, SF 68, The Searchers, Suspense, and Wheels.
According to Springbok Radio, 71 of the 78 episodes originally produced for Beyond Midnight are known to exist. Of those, perhaps 55 are in general circulation. Many vendors offer the same episode for sale under multiple names, so beware. It is common to see "The Signal-Man", "Hello, Below There" and "The Train" but they are the same episode! or "All at Sea", "The Upper Berth" and "The Thing in Cabin 105" on the same again all the same episode
It appears that Michael McCabe wrote most of the scripts, many of which were adaptations of classic ghost stories (with different titles). Original authors include Ray Bradbury, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, A.M. Burrage, Robert W. Chambers, Basil Copper, F. Marion Crawford, Charles Dickens, Amelia B. Edwards, William Hope Hodgson, W.W. Jacobs, Henry James, E. Nesbit, and H.G. Wells. All episodes are in standard half-hour format.
