    At first, I couldn't believe it: someone else who appreciated Will Powers?
    
    As it turned out, the tape was played by accident and no-one in the room 'got it'. Out it came the tape, and in went a CD of thumpity thump. Ah well, their loss :-) - on 2009-07-24

- power cuts and the three-day week
  - For me, these things were great fun!
    
    I loved sitting round the dining table with the family, in the darkened lounge, looking out of the back window over the garden, chatting and playing games.
    
    Really, they should bring back power cuts and make them an obligatory part of growing up. - on 2009-07-15

- anybody who has seen it is destined never to forget it until their dying day
- groundbreaking children's programming at its most innovative and challenging
- nightmares became real
- The name of the series - Escape into Night -
- the images remain indelibly burned into the memory
- may be long forgotten
- Marianne Dreams
- a brave — or visionary — commissioning editor
- a sure-fire recipe for chronic bedwetting
- Ruth Boswell was just such an editor
- Timeslip: a typically low-budget series that nevertheless had high production values and didn't talk down to children
- Storr's original book dealt with uncharacteristically dark and weighty themes
- mortality, sickness and facing up to your own fears
- they will both die
- eerie, atonal singing that saw out the closing credits
- dark ambience of the production
- all-pervading air of menace
- not available on DVD or video

- The series was made in colour, but all six episodes now exist as black and white film
- The composer Andrew Lowe-Watson was another one of those adults affected by the story and he decided to turn it into an opera named after the book
- there are many adults who are still haunted by this weird, menacing, very much one-of-a-kind exercise in children's programming
  - Count me in. It scared the shit out of me! - on 2009-07-15
