[edit] Black Hole

Surely the black hole would eventually move out of alignment due to precession of the Earth? -unsigned anon user

Maybe that was why the main villian had all the computers in the basement and had to brainwash everyone within a certian amount of time. -Husnock 16:19, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Painting

Does anyone have any idea who actually painted the evil painting that is seen in the series. Apart from being a scary prop, it was in fact a very good piece of art. -Husnock 16:19, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree, but I'm afraid I don't know the answer. --bodnotbod 17:58, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
The picture is not necessarily "evil" - it just exists to prevent the link/the circle being completed. (Whether the picture will change the "people leaving" to reflect the number/gender of the people who will break the pattern next time is idle speculation.) Jackiespeel 18:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion

I remember seeing an episode of this when it first aired in the 70s as a little boy. It was terrifying. I watched it again on DVD recently and was surprised (and pleased!) that it was still terrifying. But I have to say the clarity of the backstory contained in this article is not in the series. I had no idea of what was going on in the last episode which seemed to make very little sense. A shame as otherwise the series is brilliant. True British horror in the tradition of The Stone Tape and Nigel Kneale. We don't seem to able to find that atmosphere in our horror any more. ThePeg30 June 2006

Presumably once the Brakes leave the stone circle they return to normality - which is why Matthew wonders whether the events actually happened. There may well be a distinction between "permanent inhabitants" and "passers through" - otherwise why have a permanent museum (and occasionally inhabitants might leave). A parallel universe scenario could also be invoked - Dai's change of vocation, and the practicalities of the change of ownership of the central big house.

More of the actual plot could be included - Matthew's psychic ability, Dai's abode (and the appearance of the symbol at his feet at the end), the "not-quite-relationship" between Adam and Margaret, the transformation of the people as Henderson "converts" them etc Jackiespeel 18:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
