In 'Special Offer', Noreen (Pauline Quirk) is a clumsy shopgirl who becomes convinced that there is something sinister living behind the walls of the shop where she works. When she is fired after the manager believes she is responsible for all the damages that have been taking place, Noreen returns to the shop looking for revenge...only to discover the real source of the disturbances. In 'During Barty's Party', a couple are alone in an isolated cottage with only a radio for company, until a legion of intelligent rats start to invade their home. In 'Buddyboy', Hubbard (Wolfe Morris) wants to sell his dolphinarium after his prize dolphin dies, and thinks he has found a buyer in Dave (Martin Shaw). But what is the real reason behind Hubbard's eagerness to sell? In 'Baby', a young couple expecting their first child move into a converted farmhouse, where they discover an urn hidden in a wall cavity that contains the body of a strange mutant creature. Before long, they become convinced something is lurking in the woods outside, and the wife is woken by the sound of a baby crying. In 'What Big Eyes', a man experiments with a theory that he believes explains an evolutionary link between man and wolf. Finally, in 'The Dummy', a horror film actor famous for playing a monstrous character known as 'The Dummy' is about to play the role for the seventh time. But this time, something seems different about him, and who exactly is killing off members of the crew? Review: Deliciously dark offering from Kneale - Another wonderful series from the pen of Nigel Kneale, Beasts was initially shown back in 1976, and made by ATV in Birmingahm. The series deals with the macabre, each using the relationship between man and differing animals, or if you will, Beasts. They range from the bizaar (a haunted Swimming Pool) to the fear of rats, this sets a standard of excellence and keeps it. There is not a single duffer here, and to top it, there is an extra, also penned by Nigel Kneale about witchcraft. All filmed on videotape rather than film, the colours are sometimes a bit gaudy (what can one expect after such a long period of time), but the acting is always excellent (Pauline Quirk especially), resulting in an outstanding series and a dvd certainly worth owning if this genre is your thing. Nigel Kneale (for those not in the know) wrote some of the most outstanding, challenging and entertaining television in the last 50 years, and can be argued the father of British Sci Fi (due to his not unconsiderable tales of Professor Quatermass). This is another classic and deserves to be seen by one and all, especially if you like a little terror and psycho-drama. Stop messing about; this sbould be bought on a daily basis! go on. this is a work of a brain who will be viewed as a litiary classic in future. Cheers! Review: 3 out of 6 good stories. - 3 of the stories are good. 1, a witch’s familiar is buried in the wall and kills children, 2, a man spends his life studying werewolves, 3, rats turn against humans. The other 3 are not great but worth watching once. I hope this helps. I would say buy it for your collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FAOAZG | | Actors | Pamela Moiseiwitsch | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 50,902 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 2,686 in Fantasy (DVD & Blu-ray) 3,685 in Science Fiction (DVD & Blu-ray) 4,674 in Horror (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (222) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 1.0) | | Manufacturer reference | 5027626247744 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 2 | | Package Dimensions | 18.03 x 13.76 x 1.48 cm; 80 g | | Release date | 26 Jun. 2006 | | Run time | 5 hours | | Studio | Network | | Writers | Nigel Kneale | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Nigel Kneale, Pamela Moiseiwitsch - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 2 - **Runtime:** 5 hours ## Images ![Beasts - The Complete Series [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IkXJKvDcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deliciously dark offering from Kneale *by M***E on 26 September 2007* Another wonderful series from the pen of Nigel Kneale, Beasts was initially shown back in 1976, and made by ATV in Birmingahm.

I remember the "Baby" episode and being absolutely terrified by it. I was too afraid to watch the final scenes and it gave me nightmares for months. I was interested to see if this was as frightening as I remember or just a big let down. I enjoyed all the episodes- "What Big Eyes" and "The Dummy" were my least favourites- but still watchable. I thought "Buddy Boy" was more sad than scary- Martin Shaw was good as the sleazy porn baron. "Special Offer" was not remotely frightening, with it's cans of beans, but I enjoyed Pauline Quirke's early performance. I also enjoyed "During Bartys Party", with the unseen, menacing rats. The best, for me, was "Murrain", not part of the "Beasts" series. It seemed more developed and gritty. An old lady in a remote Derbyshire village is shunned for being a witch. An outsider tries to convince them she is a harmless old lady- or is she? A really interesting take on witchcraft and mob mentality. I saved "Baby" for last- and watched it with some trepidation. The nasty thing they found in the wall still gave me the creeps, it's never explained fully what it was- it just suggests and leaves it to your imagination. I found some of the characters a bit annoying- especially the husband and his weird anger problem- what's with all the shouting? The end scenes were (obviously), not as frightening as I remember, but I still found it very creepy and sinister. The series was a bit dated- but the ideas are still good, and I had a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon watching these. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/61371724-beasts-the-complete-series-dvd](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/61371724-beasts-the-complete-series-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
