Tales of the Unexpected (Temporada 7)

Tales of the Unexpected es una serie de televisión británica que se emitió entre 1979 y 1988. Cada episodio contaba una historia, a menudo con matices siniestros e irónicamente cómicos, con un final inesperado. Los primeros episodios se basaron en historias cortas de Roald Dahl recopiladas en los libros Cuentos de lo inesperado, Kiss Kiss y Someone Like You. La serie fue realizada por Anglia Television para ITV con escenas interiores grabadas en sus estudios de Norwich, mientras que la filmación de la ubicación se realizó principalmente en East Anglia. El tema musical de la serie fue escrito por el compositor Ron Grainer. Aunque similar en tema y título, el programa no está relacionado con la serie de televisión estadounidense de antología, Tales of the Unexpected de Quinn Martin, que tuvo una temporada en 1977.
