Twisted Tales

1996 - 1998 NR 7.1

Bryan Brown introduces stories of the bizarre and the supernatural. Sometimes serious, often comical, but always with a twist at the end of the story.

A twelve part, half hour drama series inspired by shows such as 'The Twilight Zone' and 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents', that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat. The series concentrates on the bizarre and comical side of life that happens next door or around the corner but never, it seems, to any of us. Each episode is self contained with an enviable line up of Australia's most established actors.
