I've enjoyed all of this thread and the links people have posted. I had forgotten completely about Penda's Fen" - Thanks!

Only British Strangeness could come up with this one. Still works for me.

And remember Ringstone Round with its full-on British Strangeness?

Anyone for Albert Finney in the weirdly bacchanalian TV adaptation of the Kingsley Amis novel The Green Man?

But for strangeness and darkness and weird connectedness to The Land and The Past.. the last few minutes of the 1971 BBC adaptation of Sunset Song mustn't be overlooked. Take it away Raffles...

And as for music... the dark strangeness of the countryside... in this case with a particular focus on Tayside and Dundee... is hinted at by The Associates. From "Sulk" and featuring a uniformed-up Billy MacKenzie with a matching Martha (Muffin) Ladly it has to be "Skipping"

Before that there was "Logan Time".

This thread will run and run...
