Described as low budget by Caroline Munro herself in her introduction on TPTV. It really is low budget and full of ham acting, despite four classic horror actors from the good old days of Hammer Horror Films. The investment and ameteur production is really what let's it down.

Caroline Munro in particular lets down as she appears to have lost her skills with age. Supporting actors present are lacking in acting ability and appear bored as progress develops. Best performance goes to Martine Beswick but she's not in the movie as much as her performance justifies.

The movie including Caroline's introduction is 1h 22m long. I made it to 45 minutes before giving up. I seriously lost the plot so no spoilers here!

Currently available to stream on TPTV Encore until 31 August 2024 so I may go back and attempt to watch the movie to its end.

It's a great programme and extremely informative especially to an amateur historian like me.

The pairing of Mike and Noel works well but there's an exception. They should stop their commentaries on how children were brought up back then. My parents were overly strict and caused untold damage to me and my siblings mental health. I know you can't account for the impact on everyone that watches but their (presenters) views of that nature should not be part of the series. It just becomes uninformed drivel because it's based on their parents. They need to stick to memories of their own relevant to the clips and emails.

If they were to adhere to my suggestion then I will revise this site and give a 10 rating without hesitation.
