    trying to remember an old black and white British based detective series (probably 40's era), something similar to the 1940's Sherlock Holmes, it would have been early evening fare back in the day on RTE or BBC2 maybe.

    I seen a movie or tv show recently where women were using some sort of dating guide on men, The men realized this and started using the same guide unbeknownst to the women. What movie or show was this on?

    There's an old film with Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin which had a very similar theme - she was using a dog training manual her mother had given her. It could be a remake of that.

    Hey guys, trying to remember a movie I saw years ago, maybe 10 years, a group of young ones go to a cabin for the weekend, typical horror fair. Another guy shows up and holds them hostage or tries to kill one of them. Think he is related to one of those already there. Ring any bells?

    Nope not that, I think it was something less mainstream than that.

    Maybe something from this list? In fairness, the cabin in the woods is a pretty well-established trope in a lot of horror movies. Do you remember any of the actors in it?

    Yeah I figured that, have searched google to no avail.

    May not have been a cabin in the woods exactly, may have been just a secluded house. Cant remember anyone in it unfortunately.

    Right, this isn't a movie as such. It was a British episode of a horror show that used to be on in the 70's.

    In the episode a rich professor, psychiatrist or author (or something) invites a load of dinner guests to his house. They are all students or fans of his. But they find out the he's been keeping people locked up in padded cells upstairs in his mansion. He has a servant that goes mad when a bell rings I think, like Pavlov's dogs or something.

    Saw it years ago and it never left me.

    But I cannot remember the TV show. It's not 'Hammer' anyway. Or 'Armchair Thriller'.

    No, neither of them. Although that 'Dead of Night' show looked great. There's only a few episodes surviving off of that. All on YouTube.

    Though it doesn't accurately fit the description, 'Children Of The Stones' ?

    (Excellent and creepy TV series from back then, if you've never seen it.

    Cheers. Unfortunately that's just a episode list. There's no synopsis. However, 'Thriller' seems to be up on YouTube. So, I'll have a rifle though that and see if I can't recognise the think I'm looking for.

    So I finally found this thing.

    It's 'Thriller', S04E04 - A Killer in Every Corner. It has the great Patrick Magee in it, if you're old enough to remember who that is.

    ^
    That's the wrong 'Thriller' :D . That's the older American one, with Boris Karloff. I've seen some of them on YouTube.

    The one I was thinking of is a British TV show (repeated in the 80's) that was produced by Brian Clemens, who used to do 'The Persuaders', 'The New Avengers' and 'The Professionals'.

    This is the episode I remembered as a kid. TBH, it isn't great, but it was just one of those things you see once and never forget for some reason.

    Irish movie set in Dublin. Teenagers. Groups.
    Use of smartphones. The main character is texted by phone to meet up with the rest of them in Henry Street. When she reaches there, she texts them to ask where the rest are. Oh they didn't actually go to town. She tries to take her life.

    2011 thereabouts
