ARMCHAIR THRILLER: THE GIRL WHO WALKED QUICKLY (12) and FEAR OF GOD (PG), will be released on 11th August 2008.Thanks to its memorable and unsettling opening credits plus exceptional performances and direction, ARMCHAIR THRILLER was a colossal ratings winner for Thames Television between 1978 and 1980. The stories are told in 4–6 thirty-minute episodes; each begins with the iconic theme tune by Roxy Music’s Andy Mackay and every story concludes with its unique, razor-sharp cliff-hanger ending. Regularly attracting over 15 million viewers, an uncanny sense of the familiar combined with the bizarre drew people in: ordinary people are unexpectedly plunged into extraordinary situations.
THE GIRL WHO WALKED QUICKLY: When young student David Cooper disappears, his girlfriend and his tutor both suspect he is in danger.

Original ITV Transmission 28 March to 6 April 1978.
FEAR OF GOD: After seeing a girl fall past his window to her death, journalist Paul Marriott finds her diary in the deserted attic above. But someone is intent on destroying the diary: it is the only evidence linking her to a mysterious sect, the Regiment of God, and a disturbing experimental project…Robert Tronson (Man in a Suitcase) directs this dark tale of sinister technology and manipulation by the award-winning scriptwriter, Troy Kennedy-Martin (The Italian Job).
