This is an update for an older torrent that I am going to delete. That was missing the first series. This new torrent is now complete.

Charles Dance leads the cast as the urbane Storyteller in dramatisations of twenty classic tales by Roald Dahl. Bizarre and amusing by turns, these black comedies are justly famous for their surprise endings.

The stories show Dahl at the height of his powers as a writer of adult fiction. They are stylishly plotted, vividly characterised and made unforgettable by their breezy cynicism, presenting as they do, a hilariously bleak view of family life. Their satisfying conclusions invariably leave bullies, schemers, adulterers and frauds soundly punished.

Originally broadcast in 4 series of five episodes each, this collection brings together all 20 episodes first broadcast in 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2016. My recordings from BBC iPlayer.

This hasn’t had a commercial release so thanks to Tom Tucker for the excellent cover art.
