Post by murph127 »

One of my favourite episodes, that still leaves me on the edge, of my seat everytime i see it. I know i'ts a remake of cathy's, don't look behind you. But i do prefer this version, especially diana's acting. Which shine's throughout. murph127

I prefer Don't Look Behind You, but The Joker is a terrific episode as well. Good plot, and fantastic acting from Honor and Diana respectively. 8)

I really do prefer 'Don't Look Behind You', it has genuine dark, scary feel to it unlike The Joker which loses much of the atmosphere of the original, partly because it's in colour. That said Ola is absolutely brilliant in the Peel version.

Ola was a scary little thing wasn't she? Can't think of the actresses name off hand, but she was great.

Me neither but she was the same woman who ran from the train in 'Bizarre' - she played Ola well....Well, both Olas were scary....

Yes, when you compare the character she played in Bizzare to Ola, it really shows that she was a good actress.
