Jenny Agutter (Logan’s Run, The Avengers), Sophie Ward (Wuthering Heights, Heartbeat), Russell Hunter (Doctor Who, Callan), John Nettleton (Yes, Minister, The Bill) and Pauline Quirke (Emmerdale Farm, Birds of a Feather) feature among the casts of this spine-tingling children’s anthology series.
Atmospheric, superbly scripted and filled with the unexpected, between 1975 and 1978 Shadows offered psychological and supernatural tales in which characters typically found themselves plunged into strange alternative realities, or encountering ghostly figures from the past – the young protagonists' otherworldly experiences often playing upon common teenage fears and preoccupations. Fondly remembered, Shadows is one of the quintessential children’s drama series of the 1970s.
