Oh, okay.

What are we looking at next episode then? Tales of the Unexpected.

There was a link.

Yes.

We're unlifting the lid of some Tales of the Unexpected.

Although towards the end of the series run, it was Tales of the Very Much As We Expected.

There may be some way of unfurling that and telling me I've said something deeply illegal, but I don't know.

Tale of the Unexpected, the opposite is true, just shows how twisted these people are.

Up is down, down is up, constant inversion of the truth, psychopathic mentality.
