Moon and Son

Astrologer Gladys Moon and her psychic son, Trevor, travel between Folkestone and Calais, conducting readings, selling occult wares and getting involved in various crimes and mysteries. Despite reports that the BBC had already commissioned a second series prior to the first series' broadcast, only thirteen episodes were produced and it was swiftly axed due to poor ratings, despite a primetime Saturday evening timeslot.

Directed by Robert Banks Stewart, Moon and Son leans on a strong ensemble — Millicent Martin, John Michie, Ian Redford — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1992.
