Wiki.
Moonstrike is a British television series produced by the BBC in 1963.
The series was an anthology programme: a collection of self-contained stories about acts of resistance in occupied Europe during the Second World War. Producer Gerard Glaister drew upon his own wartime experiences, having served as a pilot in the RAF.
Most of the music for the series was provided by composer Dudley Simpson, and was some of his first work in the field of composing 'incidental music'.
Of the 27 episodes that were made, only three were known to exist until 2 October 2024, when the Film Is Fabulous project announced the recovery of a 16mm telerecording of the episode "He Who Tells". The recording was returned to the BBC for preservation. This means that 4 of the 27 episodes of moonstrike now exist in the bbc archives.
