Louche and cynical, Kayo Hathaway (Roy Dotrice) has created a wildly successful comic strip featuring “Bad Bad Jo Jo”, a murderous hulking white racist, and his cackling mother. This extraordinary tale of the supernatural, sexual jealousy and class division broke new ground and is presented here as a brand-new high definition remaster from original film elements in its original full-screen aspect ratio. It’s a story which shows Tales of Unease at its most stagey – most of the action simply consists of Culver and Stratton stuck in an office – and as such it may look very foreign to modern television audiences.

Two business executives – Harker (John Stratton) and Johnson (Michael Culver) – are trapped for the night on a deserted office floor by a disgruntled employee who has hacked the building management system.A couple of episodes had, in recent years, emerged online but, thanks to Network, the entire series has finally been packaged together into a DVD release. The main objective of Tales of Unease was, as the Evening Standard determined at the time, "to impart a sense of unease rather than out-and-out horror" and it's one which the series achieves relatively easy. Ultimately a lack of networking between the ITV regions would mean that not many people got to see Tales of Unease, a fate that would also befall The Frighteners, the next LWT series that John Burked worked on with Paul Knight, and it’s too be hoped this commercial release gives this mixed but innovative, imaginative series the audience it deserves.
