Between 1955 and 1965, Hitchcock used these simple words to introduce his timeless episodes of horror, mystery and intrigue. The CBS and NBC show received three Emmy awards as well as a Golden Globe for Television Achievement, set the gold standard for all TV mystery series to come and in the words of Alfred Hitchcock himself, “brought murder back into the home – where it belongs”.
There were 268 episodes –the most famous perhaps being Roald Dahl’s ‘Man from the South’ starring Steve McQueen, in which a man bets his finger that he can start his lighter ten times in a row. Also included is the 1962 episode ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ which was not broadcast by NBC because they felt the ending, involving the “sawing a woman in half” trick was too gruesome.
Hitchcock was a multiple nominee and winner of a number of prestigious awards, receiving two Golden Globes, eight Laurel Awards, and five lifetime achievement awards including the first BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award, as well as being five times nominated for, albeit never winning, an Academy Award as Best Director.
This competiton has now closed. The winners are Alfie Stavis from Cobham and Syed Ahmed from London.
