Shame they cant make simple shows like this anymore without all the Hollywood... Such simple scripts, would be cheap as chips to make which you would think they would love But these are so entertaining! It appears this series ended 6yrs before my time, but I love em.. shame there arent 500 more episodes.
I agree that the scripts could probably be written . . . but I doubt they'd be able to actually produce the corresponding episodes. The kind of people necessary to do so don't exist any more . . .
I think the script writers strikes of several years ago has a lot to answer for... EG:: Pathetic "Reality" TV :( Thank god for CZcams - its a life saver!
@@one-step-beyond-1959 We don't have actors and actresses anymore we have celebrities, which is why I gave my TV away, stopped paying the TV licence fee (which you have to do in the UK) and gave my TV away. CZcams from now on for me.
I was born in 1955 but we didnt have a TV for many years after that, and I'd never seen or heard of this series until CZcams put it in front of me last week. I've been enjoying it very much; thank you!
There are people with good, intelligent ideas for TV shows, however they are pushed off air for the woke, Operation Mockingbird/Mainstream media, duo type storyline.
Short movies for the pre-Interval breaks were made by British Goldwyn-Mayer who also produced in mind for Television. Australia was lucky enough to have John Mallion Acting throughout his life. Wonderful wasn’t it.
The actor with the dark hair and beard is Robin Hughes. He was in another OSB story only he was being interviewed about his part in the story. It was about three sailors who were on a 7 day leave during the war from HMS Hood. The mother of one sailor kept having a dream her son drowned. One kept seeing the headline 'HMS Hood sunk all hands lost' on newspapers and the paper boards that English newspapers used. The third one kept getting his fortune told saying that he would not be on the ocean again for at least a year. At the end all came true. The episode was called 'Signal Received' As we all know HMS Hood was sunk with only three survivors out of 1418 crew. Robin Hughes was one of those three men who survived.
About 15 years ago I was in my kitchen cleaning up around noon time and everything was fine, just a regular day. As I turned to go by the sink I was abruptly and for no reason looking at Times Square in New York City. I was like What?? It was completely destroyed. It had been annihilated. All the buildings lay in ruins. It was like being in a really bad nightmare but I knew I was awake as I looked at it. I noticed there was no sound, not even wind or birds. The silence made me start to panic because I knew I was looking into the future. When? I had no idea and still don't know. I don't ever want to know. It scared me so bad I tried to leave so I shut my eyes and focused on my kitchen. But when I opened my eyes I was still there which terrorized me so with everything about me that ever was I fought my way back and it worked. It left me physically weak for the rest of the day. I hope to God it never happens but it's like I already know.
Years ago i had a dream i witnessed a plane crash on my way to work, it was a small private jet that hit the ground in front of me on the road then slid up an embankment & caught fire. A few days later i was watching the news & they announced Travis Barker, drummer for Blink 182, had been in a plane crash. The images they showed were exactly what i had seen in my dream a few days earlier. My entire body went cold & it scared the hell out of me. That's the only time i've ever experienced anything like that.
I love watching One Step Beyond. There are things we can't explain. Back when I was a child, I dreamed that an apartment complex just a short distance away was on fire. Months later, that apartment complex DID catch fire!
People all over the world reported hearing Krakatoa when it blew. One man said it sounded like distant thunder. These episodes are freaking me out. They put me in a state that is most responsive to psychic stimuli.
This was a true story, the night news editor was Ed Sampson, an alcoholic, who in his drunkness had a dream, about the Krakatoa eruption. This episode omitted a more dramatic detail. Sampson wrote that the island name was Pralape, and when everyone discovered that no volcano or place had this name, later it was revealed that many years ago, Krakatoa was named, precisely, Pralape. Sampson died in poverty, never had recognition because he was fired immediately soon after his report could be proved accuratley.
These episodes were aired in the 80’s. That’s when I first started watching the episodes. After that they were never aired again. About three years ago, I bought the complete set at Amazon. It contains 70 episodes not the 96 episodes. I love all the old shows including Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits which I added to my collection.
I just completed the entire playlist, and must THANK YOU for putting it together! OSB was one of my favorite shows during my childhood, and it was a delight to revive some memories, as well as to discover episodes I didn't remember. Again, thanks!
Mothers are great (of course) -- but they can also be limiting because mothers are focused on safety. It's fathers that need to make sure that mothers don't over do that . . .
The music at the end credits of every episode was written by a composer named Harry Lubin and the same music (slightly modified) was used as the theme to The Outer Limits in its 2nd season. TOL season 1 theme music was by Dominic Frontiere.
Great shows back in the day. All they show on tv now days is crap. We dont even watch the idiot box anymore except for weather sometimes. Dont miss it either. What we do miss is all the quality entertainment from wayback in the day.A lot of younger people have no clue as to how simple and straightforward life used to be. We still practice this lifestyle because we know we have this choice and that's how we choose to live. We are not about keeping up with the latest fades or electronics or new cars etc.
It was great to see John Meillon who played the main character, at the start of his career. An Aussie, playing an American in a British production. Great stuff.
How good was this (less than) 1/2 hour of TV? Really good! I watched these as a 6,7, and 8 year old, up late with my mom. She was also a fan of The Twilight Zone, and of course I became a fan of The Outer Limits and Star Trek. But One Step Beyond was different, as all of the episodes were based on actual accounts. OSB was the first, along with The Inner Sanctum, which I do not really remember for some reason. Oh yeah, let's not forget The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, another great hour of TV!
This episode appears to be about auto writing. OSB did a second episode of auto writing when a newspaper man wrote about two brothers who turned on each other when they found gold.
This is a rare treat also due to the fact that John Mellion was in this. He was one of Australias best Actors- if not the best of his time. His movie from the late 70s "The Fourth Wish" is sublime and highly recommended. Just love his work- and he is also famous for the VB add!! Best beer ad ever :)
I actually saw this episode air when I was 7 years old. I was freaked out because even at my young age, I heard of Krakatoa from my school teacher, who had a few months before, read from a children's book, 21 Balloons. A story of a child who escaped Krakatoa on a platform lifted by 21 balloons.
You're welcome. And you're right -- the better of the OSB episodes are subtly sophisticated. This one, for example, sort of takes the precognition for granted after 15 minutes and instead starts to explore the social and psychological drawbacks of having heightened perceptual abilities . . .
According to the real story, the man's name was Byron Somes, not Henry Somes. Somes awoke from a bad dream in which a volcano eruption was occurring. The dream of explosions and the raining death went on into his waking state. He wrote down his dream with no intention of having it published. Somes turned the paper over on his desk at the Boston Globe and wrote exclusive and left his office. While he was gone, the editor and chief looked at the paper and had it printed. Byron Somes called the volcanic island Pralape. As it turned out, there was nothing of the sort going on in the world and the Boston Globe had to print an apology to all the newspapers to thier embarrassment. Somes was fired and never seen again by the Globe. 8 months later, reports were coming in from Indoniesia that the island of Krakatoa had erupted and exploded. The editor decided to do some research about the Island and to his astonishment, the native people called the island of Krakatoa, Pralape.
The Twilight Zone and Outer limits, I remember watching long ago and loved them. Only a few months ago, I discovered One Step Beyond. It too, is awesome!!! Thanx for posting it!
@EYES OPEN: I'm still trying to figure out why OSB is so little known. I only learned about it myself 3 years ago. I have some ideas about that (Tuesday night at 10pm not being a family friendly time slot and etc), but I'm not sure whether there's something else I'm missing . . .
@@one-step-beyond-1959 I am trying to figure it out too! I think it's because most people are afraid of the supernatural. And since it so rare that these things happens, it scares them. People, most, only want that little box to live in. Just found yesterday after years of not seeing! Very happy!
Indeed there was a Edward Samsom a reporter for the Boston Globe who in August 27, 1883 dreamed the explosion of Krakatoa before he was able to get the information by ordinary means. In the dream, however, the island was called Pralape, which was what the natives on the island called their home, not Krakatoa.
This is the story about the 'precognitive headline guy.." very interesting. There are those who say the ability to sense future events is not a fluke at all, but a heightened sensitivity..hmm..
Cynthia Hawkins, yes. My daughter who was 9 in the early 90's went from being completely fine one minute to completely berserk and hysterically screamed 'THE BUILDING IS FALLING!!' over, and over and over the entire time from the moment the elevator began going down from the top floor of the North Tower of the Word Trade Center until it stopped at the lobby level. Everyone on the elevator looked at her like she was crazy but she wasn't. It's all I could do was to crouch down and hold her while trying in vain to reassure her everything was OK. Among the things she saw were people in a stairwell desperately trying to escape and then killed by the building falling. She'd become very angry the few times I'd bring it up over the next few years so I stopped. Then 9/11 happened. She came home from school and said "Mom? Do you remember the elevator?"
I can't believe you've found these. I LOVE OSB! I thought I had seen all of them - you have given me a great reward. Thank you - I am a screenwriter and story teller; this nourishes my true crime and metaphysical, paranormal, psychic and telepathic creative foundation framework.
yes Adrian thanks for such great gift. you released all the ones that went in the past releases and all the English ones. the show deserves lot more then its parts it had lot episode s
I think you would like More Music From One Step Beyond, not a bootleg but a collection with 20 tracks, all of them but two never before released; the best of the eerie music from OSB, struck from the master tapes. It sells for only $12.95 with minimal S&H charges. Just go to Ebay and enter More Music From One Step Beyond. It's a CD, of course, all the cues are from the show and by Harry Lubin.
These are great. Thank you so much for the uploads. Sure I will watch them all. And again! Sure I saw them all before on a small B&W TV. Thanks again. Love❤ (Eric)
This was a great movie! The main character, John Meillon, was a very famous Australian actor. He had a long and distinguished career in the Australian film industry. I was so amazed to see him in this movie. Thank you for sharing this movie with us.
This Covi-19 plan-demic is 2 steps back for our societal evolution...then again it's brought me to One Step Beyond! Also twilight Zone and other black and white shows.
Yes . unequivocally . Current events not withstanding . Most of the worlds population live in a state of cognitive dissonance . You my friend know first hand that precognition , o.o.b.e. , astral projection ,premonition , reincarnation and alternate dimensions are not theory . The " sixth sense " is a short count .
@@sidewinder814u I appreciate your honesty my friend, it IS a PLANdemic, and I completely agree about discovering this wonderful old show that was produced a half generation before my time.
It's also effectively used. I wonder how groundbreaking that was . . . in the history of television. I don't think you see it in early 1950s. More generally, it's another good example of how the continuity of Newland's direction allowed the series to develop an advanced sophistication in many different aspects of production . . .
Rob There is one theme music from the 60s / 70s? tv show called Journey to the Unknown soundtrack is awesome and so are some of the short chiller stories - it is on YT :)
Music was also used effectively in Tales of Tomorrow: Another Chance (1953) starring Leslie Nielsen . See comments by walkingtree9 in the comments section of czcams.com/video/aeZXUI98eEw/video.html . That episode borrowed the themes from Mars and Neptune in Gustav Holst's "The Planets." There is plenty of other music on "Tales of Tomorrow" which is sadly, quite less impressive.
I loved these when they first came out. Newland was dapper. articulate, and so slightly enigmatic as host...Let's see...this came out in 1961..Lord Help us..I was 13...
I just saw a pilot for Nero Wolfe with Bill Shatner. it was really good and I don't know why it wasn't picked up. but, this is what I noticed. back then, when I was a kid, shows were don'e as if on the stage - simple. no big deal pyrotechnics or FX, just what could be done on a stage with a good script, good actors and directors. these shows were terrific, held your attention and excited the imagination. I miss this and I remember when it started disappearing. . . the actor, John Meillon, playing the lead here was really very good - and yet I don't remember him being around, while some of the other faces I remember. . . "Meillon was born in Mosman, New South Wales," Australia. He was in the Crocodile Dundee movies. "Like many actors of his generation from 1959 to 1965, he worked in England, but while working in Britain he consciously steered away from Australian roles. Meillon claimed that he learnt discipline while working in theatre, and that television was not a good medium for training*." Wikipedia
@@christopherallen9580 Holy Cow - I just wrote this. it's like 3:00 a.m. here in New York. Have a great night, day, afternoon, morning - I think that covers it. :)
marktegan The actor's surname is correctly pronounced Mellion but is spelt Meillon. Odd, but true. He knew, but has taken the one step beyond. Oh, and I concur. It is his voice.
It's wonderful to see an episode at 64 years old that you have never seen before. A lot of tallanted sci/fi writers back in the 50s and allmost a centuary before with Jules Verne.
WHO from Australia remembers John Meilion,,,,he was an' old Aussie icon.....one show he was in was '''' My names Mcgooley, .what's yours '''' filmed around the area of the old Balmain wharfs in Sydney......(( he is the young man at the very very begining of this show....great memorys.........thank you O.S.B....
No need for special effects, just solid writing & acting; Newland himself cancelled the series, feeling he had run out of fact-based stories to tell, so no jumping the shark for him!
Thanks to a playlist by Danica Houston of 85 episodes in chronological order It has given me a lot of enjoyment for the past week and many episodes I have never seen before.
Watching these old shows, I think Vincent Price would have made a great host for this show. To me,this would have been right up his alley for all the strange and sometimes macabre parts he played. What do you think? I think these 2 hosts kind of look like brothers.I think the way they talk with there inflections and accent sound like brothers. Is that strange or is it just me?
Love watching these old reruns because I used to watch every episode of One Step Beyond when I was growing up. I had to laugh at the closing credits of this show, "Dramatized by Derry Quinn." Now I gotta pay more attention to the other episodes and see if "Dairy Queen" is there - just kidding.
I only came across this show last year when I was looking for night gallery and the Twilight Zone I have started to watch this show and I really like it I'm trying to find the seasons on DVD
@Tracy Tovey: Season 1 is available on quality DVD. But Seasons 2 and 3 are only available in syndication copies. You'll find the best quality of all seasons -- all 96 episodes -- right here . . .
I thought I recognised John Meillon who played the main character - an underrated Australian actor who went on to do some memorable comedic roles - his last being as Crocodile Dundee's sidekick.

Back when television was still creative...
About 15 years ago I was in my kitchen cleaning up around noon time and everything was fine, just a regular day. As I turned to go by the sink I was abruptly and for no reason looking at Times Square in New York City. I was like What?? It was completely destroyed. It had been annihilated. All the buildings lay in ruins. It was like being in a really bad nightmare but I knew I was awake as I looked at it. I noticed there was no sound, not even wind or birds.

Good story and wonderful to see legendary Aussie actor John Meillon in the title role. John passed away in 1989, he was only 55.

I'm so into this show,Thanku whomever put them here
Glad you found it . . .
Very entertaining love these shows 🙂
Maybe JFK liked this show so much was because it is based upon REAL stories.
This was a great movie! The main character, John Meillon, was a very famous Australian actor. He had a long and distinguished career in the Australian film industry. I was so amazed to see him in this movie. Thank you for sharing this movie with us.
Glad you found it here . . .
@@one-step-beyond-1959 It was a real treat to watch a very young John Meillon. Thanks, again.
I knew that I recognized that gentleman!!!
He played Walter Reilly in the Crocodile Dundee franchise......
I knew I recognized the reported but couldn't place him. It's John Meillon. He played Walter Rielly in the Crocodile Dundee movies.

I thought it was him!
fishinghunter good job!
They believe it, they know....They took that..one step beyond.
Yes, I'll put you down for our next John Newland impersonation contest . . .
Anyone else spent there whole life actually in a life feature length episode of One Step Beyond/Twilight Zone?I know I have/am
Well, I'm admin for this channel . . . so a lot of my life has been OSB lately.
This Covi-19 plan-demic is 2 steps back for our societal evolution...then again it's brought me to One Step Beyond!
Also twilight Zone and other black and white shows.
Yep it is the mask wearing zombie apocalypse
Yes . unequivocally . Current events not withstanding . Most of the worlds population live in a state of cognitive dissonance . You my friend know first hand that precognition , o.o.b.e. , astral projection ,premonition , reincarnation and alternate dimensions are not theory . The " sixth sense " is a short count .
@@sidewinder814u I appreciate your honesty my friend, it IS a PLANdemic, and I completely agree about discovering this wonderful old show that was produced a half generation before my time.
I looked at this show late at night.i loved it.
Love these shows!!
The volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was heard as far as 2000 miles away.
Excellent video ☺️
Just pleased, as I logged in on UTUBE to watch this one, to the right of my screen is a hole bundle waiting for me.
Another episode from one step Beyond thank you for sharing your video
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! An Aussie actor in this episode! Great stuff 😁🇦🇺
And one you can understand, at that.
Excellent entertainment. Thank you
What a good episode brings me back in time just love it thank you for a great video keep them coming 👍
You're welcome . . .
What an amazing true story. Seemingly unexplainable n still unexplained.
The actor who played Henry Soames did a very good job.
John Meillon, great Australian actor
Thanks so much for posting this! I never saw this one. Love the series!
Thank you for the upload ..I find these shows truly interesting.
Love these shows💕. Remember them from my youth.
Great to see John Meillon as a young actor.
Thank you!
Spookiest music ever on T.V.!
It's also effectively used. I wonder how groundbreaking that was . . . in the history of television. I don't think you see it in early 1950s. More generally, it's another good example of how the continuity of Newland's direction allowed the series to develop an advanced sophistication in many different aspects of production . . .
Rob There is one theme music from the 60s / 70s? tv show called Journey to the Unknown soundtrack is awesome and so are some of the short chiller stories - it is on YT :)
Alcoa must have gave them a good budget.
Music was also used effectively in Tales of Tomorrow: Another Chance (1953) starring Leslie Nielsen . See comments by walkingtree9 in the comments section of czcams.com/video/aeZXUI98eEw/video.html . That episode borrowed the themes from Mars and Neptune in Gustav Holst's "The Planets." There is plenty of other music on "Tales of Tomorrow" which is sadly, quite less impressive.
Thanks for posting OSB. I've seen some of the episodes in syndication, but it was way past my bedtime during its initial broadcast. Cheers!
My hold family used to sit by the television and watch One Step Beyond
I loved these when they first came out. Newland was dapper. articulate, and so slightly enigmatic as host...Let's see...this came out in 1961..Lord Help us..I was 13...
I just saw a pilot for Nero Wolfe with Bill Shatner. it was really good and I don't know why it wasn't picked up. but, this is what I noticed. back then, when I was a kid, shows were don'e as if on the stage - simple. no big deal pyrotechnics or FX, just what could be done on a stage with a good script, good actors and directors. these shows were terrific, held your attention and excited the imagination. I miss this and I remember when it started disappearing. . .
the actor, John Meillon, playing the lead here was really very good - and yet I don't remember him being around, while some of the other faces I remember. . .
"Meillon was born in Mosman, New South Wales," Australia. He was in the Crocodile Dundee movies. "Like many actors of his generation from 1959 to 1965, he worked in England, but while working in Britain he consciously steered away from Australian roles. Meillon claimed that he learnt discipline while working in theatre, and that television was not a good medium for training*." Wikipedia
I saw Nero Wolfe with Shatner just a few weeks ago too. It was quire good!
@@christopherallen9580 Holy Cow - I just wrote this. it's like 3:00 a.m. here in New York. Have a great night, day, afternoon, morning - I think that covers it. :)
A very young John Mellion, an Aussie actor playing the leading part.
I was thinking the same thing. However I think his voice was dubbed because it does not sound like him.
GSAU I’ve seen him in the other shows when he was young, and this is his definitely his voice
marktegan
The actor's surname is correctly pronounced Mellion but is spelt Meillon. Odd, but true. He knew, but has taken the one step beyond. Oh, and I concur. It is his voice.
It's wonderful to see an episode at 64 years old that you have never seen before. A lot of tallanted sci/fi writers back in the 50s and allmost a centuary before with Jules Verne.
Unique, inimitable... inégalé, inégalable.
WHO from Australia remembers John Meilion,,,,he was an' old Aussie icon.....one show he was in was '''' My names Mcgooley, .what's yours '''' filmed around the area of the old Balmain wharfs in Sydney......(( he is the young man at the very very begining of this show....great memorys.........thank you O.S.B....
Yes, fond memories of My Names Mcgooley. Greetings from Melbourne, Au.
I wonder....if each prediction was drawing him nearer to be able to write the stoppable tragedies before they happened? I guess that I'll never know.
great episode thanks a lot...!
So grateful
No need for special effects, just solid writing & acting; Newland himself cancelled the series, feeling he had run out of fact-based stories to tell, so no jumping the shark for him!
thanks
A young Anton Rodgers. Quite a big TV star on Uk TV.
excellent upload. thanks!!!
John Meillon aka Walter from Crocodile Dundee. So young!

Thanks to a playlist by Danica Houston of 85 episodes in chronological order It has given me a lot of enjoyment for the past week and many episodes I have never seen before.
The three playlists on this channel, for each of the OSB seasons . . . are in chronological order.
Watching these old shows, I think Vincent Price would have made a great host for this show. To me,this would have been right up his alley for all the strange and sometimes macabre parts he played. What do you think? I think these 2 hosts kind of look like brothers.I think the way they talk with there inflections and accent sound like brothers. Is that strange or is it just me?
Love watching these old reruns because I used to watch every episode of One Step Beyond when I was growing up. I had to laugh at the closing credits of this show, "Dramatized by Derry Quinn." Now I gotta pay more attention to the other episodes and see if "Dairy Queen" is there - just kidding.
Believe it or not, I have experienced teleportation a few times in my life, it's seriously unexplainable.
If anyone could revive a show like this it'd be Stephen Volk.
Aired in certain ITV regions of the UK on Friday 9th May 1969 according to The Times tv page from that day.
please someone take these lovely shows and digitally remaster them so the picture is crisp
They did it for Season 1. But it didn't sell well enough for them to continue with Seasons 2 & 3 . . .
Can't hear, couldn't verify the words of the narrator at the end
Thanks for upload
Glad you found it . . .
Tks really remarkable
I only came across this show last year when I was looking for night gallery and the Twilight Zone I have started to watch this show and I really like it I'm trying to find the seasons on DVD
@Tracy Tovey: Season 1 is available on quality DVD. But Seasons 2 and 3 are only available in syndication copies. You'll find the best quality of all seasons -- all 96 episodes -- right here . . .
I thought I recognised John Meillon who played the main character - an underrated Australian actor who went on to do some memorable comedic roles - his last being as Crocodile Dundee's sidekick.
holy crap !!! this volcano really happened..look it up..it will SHOCK you !!!
