It's a shame that series like The Green Man are so hard to find, they really do deserve to be seen by a new generation. I found out that it has been released on DVD but I have yet to find it. Albert Finney is excellent as Maurice Allington, the owner of The Green Man, a country Inn that has a reputation for being haunted. Only there really are ghosts. Maurice is an alcoholic and a womaniser who loves but neglects his daughter. The excellent Michael Hordern plays Maurice's father who has a stroke at dinner after seeing something. This seems to set off a chain of very spooky events. While he is having a sexual affair with the local doctor's wife and trying to coax his own long suffering wife into a menage a trois. (which backfires hilariously) there is a sinister presence lurking about the Inn.
When I say that they don't make shows like this anymore, I mean it. They really don't and it's a shame because this was excellent from start to finish. There is little in the way of blood, though plenty of sex and some same-sex action as well. It is an interesting series with a mix of black humour and some supernatural horror as well. It's well acted with some beautiful scenery and great music. The special effects aren't too shoddy either. This is one worth seeking out and watching.
