ONE STEP BEYOND, I remember watching reruns of ONE STEP BEYOND, back in the 1970s. Last year I bought the entire series on DVD. I noticed then how good looking Mr. Newland was at that time and how soothing his voice was. Needless to say ONE STEP BEYOND, is still as interesting and sometimes eerie as ever. I think with all the paranormal shows on TV now, ONE STEP BEYOND would fit in. For those haven't seen this show you don't knew what your missing. Maybe some channel will show it again or re-do the stories. But finding someone like John Newland would be hard.

Listen to 'murder to perfection'. This guy is incredible. He plays a witty murderer who takes pride in murdering his wives for insurance money. The role was perfectly done.
