If you like a lot of earnest, desk-thumping middle aged men dressed mostly in brown or orange, shouting in each other's faces in a small room, being horrifically condescending to the token sensitive hysterical lady, with lots of overplayed 70s head-clutching, bulging-eyed hysteria on top of all that, plus a sprinkling of casual racism...you'll absolutely love this.
I should make it clear that the 70s is my favourite period for film and television, but this is very difficult to watch. I don't know whether those earnest men were actually shouting 'DAMN IT, man!' but it felt as if they probably were. There was definitely some 'fist slamming down on desk' action during all the SHOUTING. It's in a similar style to Doomwatch which I also find very hard to enjoy, for the same reasons. Unfortunately it has none of the subtlety or creepiness of the BBC's Christmas Ghost stories from the same era.
Not even a tiny bit frightening.
