Escape Into Night

Escape Into Night is a six-part British children's cult television serial made by ATV for ITV that was broadcast from 19 April to 24 May 1972.

The serial was an adaptation of Catherine Storr's 1958 novel Marianne Dreams, and deals with a young girl, Marianne, whose drawings become the basis for dreams, and how the dividing line between dreams and reality blurs.

The series was made in colour, but the original colour masters are missing; only black-and-white telerecordings of the series exists.

These surviving recordings were released in the UK on Region 2 by Network Distributing Ltd Home Entertainment in May 2009.

For its theme music, Escape Into Night used a segment of the third movement of the Symphony No.6 in E minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
