Stranded... I see there was a 1973 series with Orson Wells called Great Mysteries and there was an adaptation of Monkeys Paw .... It's a bit earlier than Tales of the Unexpected and would probably be what I remember ... I was much younger and it was very scary ! Looks like it was never repeated either.

How about the twilight zone one where the helicopter falls and decapitates the actor and 2 children?
Oh yeah, that's actually happened.

The one with the bloke who sees something on the wing of the plane. Or maybe that was the Twilight Zone. Proper creepy though.

How about the Hammer House of Horror?
Always remember the one where blood starts coming out of the pipes at a kids birthday party.
Nice.

Bish Bash Bosh "The werewolf episode with Diana dors...it scared the shit out of me for years. I saw it a few years back again and the werewolf didn't look scary."
That was actually a "Hammer House of Horror" episode, not a Tale Of The Unexpected.

I remember the one where the bloke could hear flowers scream. Odd. Bit creepy for me as a kid though.

There are two I remember. The first one when a bloke kills his wife and gets away with it. He meets up with another girl who is blind , shacks up with her and she ends up getting her eyes replaced (Yes I know-might be in the future) and his dead wife's eyes have been used.
The other involves shyster antique dealer who stumbles across an old lady with a battered Chippendale dresser and tells her he would buy but that it's worth nothing. When he returns for it , she had broken it up to make it easier to carry.

The Monkey's Paw is a classic of English, Victorian horror. It was reworked, or just ripped off for loads of different things. Don't remember a Tales of the Unexpected version, but there might be one?
You sure you're not confusing it with the version in the seventies Tales from the Crypt?
