I caught an episode of this around a friends house. It's one of those times in my life I remember what I was doing at the time.
We'd met up down a local pub where we used to go and pump quid after quid into a pinball machine. Then we went back to my mate's sister's flat and her fella introduced me to the album Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty and She Devil was on in the background.
I remember being mesmerised by it and found it strangely erotic as well as creepy. I had a thing for older women when I was younger and remember finding Julie T Wallace strangely seductive even though she was quite butch and unattractive as an 18 year old lad with raging hormones this was proper sexy stuff. Now every time I hear Tom Petty or someone talks about She Devil I think vividly of that night we went out and ended up at my mate's sisters flat. It was one of those memories I'll never forget.
I never did get to see the whole series. Thanks for the heads up. Will look forward to seeing it after all these years.
I wonder if you'll find Julie T Wallace strangely seductive and sexy this time

Well from the image I just Googled she looks like an inmate from Wentworth so possibly not but when I was 18 I pretty much fancied anything with a pair of breasts.
Thanks for the info ... I shall make sure I record it.
Yes very creepy, must have made some impression, I was probably a teenager when it first aired, so must have had 'something' to keep my attention, probably didn't 'get' all of it at the time either.
Kinda always wondered why Julie Wallace wasn't around more on TV afterwards.

Only time I remember seeing her was in a Bond movie (Living Daylights) but looking at her Wikipedia entry, she seems to have had regular TV roles over the years.
Oh God, this traumatised me when I was a kid. I was mucking about with the telly and I remember Dr Who flashing his bum while writhing with an evil big devil woman. I can still remember turning the telly off in disgust and shock!
yes indeed. well worth watching. the actress deliberately looks "not attractive" and its a crittique of all sorts of social attitudes ..... in a well told story.
dennis potter covered the same territory but from other end, in Blackeyes.
the same social attitudes still apply ! susan boyles physical appearence was much criticised, and more recently mary beard ......
I don't quite know what to say Not obvious w@nk material I'd say, but your mate obviously got turned on by she-devils
Despite the wart I thought the character was really sexy.... and then I realised she was a woman. Certainly more manly than the Dennis Waterman character with the dodgy tache and big bins who was meant to be a smooth sexy lothario.... but I guess that was what got the bunny out of the hat in the 80s....

Really looking forward to watching this again!
It was the first time as a young lad I saw what a real woman looked like and I kind of had a bit of a dominatrix fantasy about her even though she was a bit of a hag. I can't explain what it was about her I found sexy because she was quite butch and ugly.
Even taking into account the fashion aberration which was the 1980s I can't understand how the Bobbo character could ever have been mistaken for the stud he's being portrayed as.
The waiter was fit though, and Julie T Wallace is fab

Tom Baker.
Pah!! I just ate some risotto!! Vomit icon please?
I was seriously scared first time round when I was a teenager.
I might watch it again. I don't like that weird theme song though.

Always hoped Spinechillers would turn up on DVD. Think that was on BBC 3. That has an episode with Julie T Wallace in it.
I remember that, when being greased, wasn't he going, think of something boring, Arsenal, Arsenal.....

Ms Fisher was nowt to write home about in my book, apart from her swanky lighthouse and sexay manservant
Really enjoying it, dated though some bits are by now.
