[QUOTE="Mark, post: 1932070, member: 5"] Both right - [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001094/]Roald Dahl's IMDb listing[/url] Had his own show in the late seventies (Tales of the Unexpected) and was credited with the writing (actually "story") of 7 episodes for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" earlier in his career. I especially remember the Gambler episode (Alfred Hitchcock Presents - [url=http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-238/epid-42875/]Man from the South[/url] with Peter Lorre and Steve McQueen - Episode: #5.15 - 3 January 1960 *or* Tales of the Unexpected - [url=http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-978/epid-131458/]Man from the South[/url] with Jose Ferrer and Michael Ontkean - Episode: #1 - March 24, 1979) where the bet was over if he could light his cigarette lighter ten times in a row without it misfiring. Good tension builing in that one. The other one must be Alfred Hitchcock Presents - [url=http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-238/epid-41003]Lamb to the Slaughter[/url] with Barbara Bel Geddes - Episode: #3.28 - 13 April 1958 AKA Tales of the Unexpected - [url=http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-978/epid-142627/]Lamb to the Slaughter[/url] with Susan George - Episode: #4 - April 14, 1979.
