Tv show in the 1990s with a man sitting by the fire with his dog? then tells mac!


Question: This show used to be on in the 1990s when i was a little kid. Then this old guy in a dim room used to sit in this chair by the fire place, with his dog next to him. The stories were sort of dark and scary. There was a story about this girl whose stepmum turned her brothers into birds so she had to keep silent for seven years. Another story was about this couple who wanted a baby but a hedgehog was born instead. He turns into a man at night... I thought it was called Tales of the Unfortunate but I don't think it is... and it's not Are you afraid of the dark. It used to be on the same channel as Cryptkeeper and goosebumps. Please I've been wanting the title for ages!

It was called 'Jim Henson's The Storyteller'. There was the original one (the two stories you mentioned were from this), and a later one called 'Greek Myths'.
Here it is on dvd http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Hensons-Storyt...

The Story you mentioned about the hedgehog was called 'Hans my Hedgehog'

Outer Limits!!

It was definitely "The Storyteller" using creatures from Jim Henson's workshop. The storyteller was the fantastic UK actor John Hurt (makes you proud to be British!) and he told strange tales that always had a moral at the end. Excellent programme.

Im a storyteller and my story must be told la la la
