A JADED executive slips through a time-warp to his childhood, a hypochondriac is granted immortality by the Devil, a street peddler strikes a deal when Death calls...

This is the weird and wonderful world of Rod Serling, as reflected in one of the most influential and fondly remembered television series of the '50s and '60s.

The six-CD set is a real box of delights, featuring all 36 (remastered) episodes of the first series from 1959, with appearances by the likes of Lee Marvin, Martin Landau, Ida Lupino, Martin Balsam and Doug McClure.

Bonus features include a range of commentaries and promos, an unaired pilot and audio extracts from Serling.
