- Quotes
[introduction]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is standing next to the mounted head of a stag] Good evening, television watchers. Tonight's masque is entitled, "The West Warlock Time Capsule": the tale of a timid taxidermist. This gives me the excuse to exhibit this prize of mine
[nods his head to the stag briefly]
Alfred Hitchcock: and to discuss taxidermy. I feel I know quite a bit about stuffed animals. After all, it takes one to know one.
[turns to the stag briefly]
Alfred Hitchcock: This, I shot myself. You see, deer poaching is one of my hobbies. It took only two shots. The first one hit a bearded old man wearing a ridiculous red suit and riding in a sleigh. I'm having him stuffed, too. It probably sounds silly to you, but I'm sentimental that way. But enough of this. Here in a moment is "The West Warlock Time Capsule."

I'll watch anything with prune-face Jones. He was so deliciously sly, always being underestimated with his insignificant appearance. Kudos too to Dunnock, plus Buffington who gets a thankless role. But why is the kid not credited by IMDb—he's got more lines and screen time than everyone but the principals.
One reason, I think, for the series success is the casting. Crucially, no concessions were made to Hollywood glamour except when warranted. Certainly there's no pizazz in evidence here, just drab, as it should be. So sit back and enjoy a solid Hitch, though you may want to skip the epilogue.
